Optimistic Nut Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 One adequate winger apart from Ritchie would be nice. I know it would, that doesn't change my point about the overall situation. Brighton would love another Knockhaert. Brighton didn't sell their best players bringing a £32m profit in the last window, either. Or spend £80-90m the 12 months before that, or take a massive hit to their expected income. (sure we've done this one ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Care to calm down anyone? You said that at the end of last January too. This time I'm right though yes? If we're panicking now, with the best manager and squad in the league and an excellent position in the table then it just seems like it's a permanent state of affairs. Of course fans always want more players but logicially it's always going to be hard to sign the right people for the reasons we all know about. Getting top-half PL players to join a championship team (in January) has to be one of the toughest transfer tasks around. We're never going to have two Gayles or two Shelveys. It's brilliant we've got one. Striker wise I am not too worried and I still have hope for Mitro and Murphy has shown he's up for the fight. It's midfield that I am concerned about - I am not expecting someone of the calibre of Shelvey just someone more capable than Collback. If Shelvey's ban taught us anything it's that we need cover.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'm actually a trifle more worried about our limited options and lack of quality in CM than anything else, a lengthy injury to Shelvey and I certainly wouldn't put money on us being in the top 2 come the end of the season.

I'm not asking for two Gayles and two Shelveys, but we have no-one in the midfield anywhere near Shelvey in style or quality, and it will cost us if he can't play every game.

Dinho lad Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yet he keeps giving Colback games. Go figure. That's because we have better competition in attacking areas than in midfield. Not hard to figure out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiston Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's a bit bat s*** crazy we are just settling for Shelvey as our only creative midfielder for the rest of the season. We missed him when he got himself banned big time, just like when we got rid of Cabaye. EDIT: Obviously meant Shelvey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
