Who would you have bought in the last 10 days?
£50 Million seems a lot, but If Ange wants him then its up to Levy to get it done
Is ndoumble even training at the club .I can't believe this guy is even brave enough to show his face around the place
I'm at the stage where I'm just gonna assume that everyone Brighton signs is a hit.
Really makes the experience of coming on this place boring and a bit shit when the same gang of defenders fly out like ENIC white blood cells to a virus if you so much as criticize the club around transfers.
Apparently, you are allowed to say expensive transfers were badly scouted and that's the only acceptable criticism.
It's only really in this thread or the ENIC thread if you are crazy enough to go in there.
1 nanosecond according to the forum police data.
Is it up to him?
What a stupid question.
It is concerning, especially so as we've made a good start but now is the time to be bold and not complacent.
Levy's attitude is always do as little as possible and hope everything works out for the best.
Could be a real chance to have a better season than even the happy clappers predicted but only if we add in 2/3 more players.
After deadline?
Its the transfers thread and I'm starting a discussion.
80% of this thread is people talking about how they would want to buy so I'm asking the guy a question.
You seem to err on the side of negativity and anti-levy sentiment so I'm not going to engage in a bad faith discussion with you on this.
I'm concerned on the striker front. Hugely.
Free lunches. Even on 200K a week he's not going to pass up on free pasta. Followed swiftly by an anterior sock twist.
He's our Jack Rodwell and like the other bottom feeders we still have, will happily see out his contract playing against children until the next meal ticket / free transfer pays for the next 2 years of retirement.
Absolutely astounding lack of awareness.
Mate honestly, it's all about balance.
It is 100% possible to both be happy with the business we have done over the last few seasons but still recognise that we need to fill some more gaps in the side.
The bloated squad is due to our lack of long-term planning post-Poch for a couple of seasons but the truth is, in the last 3-4 windows we have mostly bought really well and are clearly building a decent team.
Would love us to bring in a couple more - ST and CB - if we don't ill be disappointed but I'm not gonna throw my toys out of the pram and panic.
As someone posted earlier in the thread - it's the difference between hope and expectation.
Gave this a disagree for the ‘happy clappers’ and the ‘what a stupid question’ comments.
Learn to post like an adult.
When you’re not passive aggressively insulting someone you’re an ok poster.
We have 18 games until the window opens. I would rather not panic buy and instead give our current group half a season
Great post
And you're a Levy and ENIC cuck and for that you have my pity!
Is it up to us who we sign? If it is, another forward is a must and we need a CB, possibly another midfielder if Hojberg goes and, let's be honest here, probably a better backup keeper than Forster.
The clock, as per fucking usual, is ticking.
See that last sentence is where it’s not about balance at all and really comes off more like an attempt to manage people. Not saying it is but that’s how it comes off.
When you go about using negative language about people, implying they are unreasonable, emotional, irrational, foolish, stupid, conspiracy theorists etc etc because they don’t post the way you want them to, you aren’t about balance, you are about attempting to condition them out of posting things you don’t like. It’s a passive aggressive attempt at enforcement.
