[Albion] Let the transfer window be thrown open

[southstandandy]

One things for sure, we won't be spunking millions this summer with the losses we made last year. Sadly any outgoing sales must go towards reducing our debts in the first instance.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Now for three months of tantalising rumours, and a plethora of signings of young 'for the future' players who will immediately be loaned-out to lower League teams and 'released' in two years' time.

Then, on the eve of the new season, we'll be told that the Club is happy with the existing squad because it is confident that our strikers and mid-fielders will all contribute more goals next season, after training hard over the summer.

Deja vu time, my friends

Although the window stays open for the first 2.5 weeks of the season - or the Andone Shop Window as it is otherwise known as...

I just saw Aguero at the Grand.

Required at the Albion:

1. LWB of Veltman’s standard.

2. DM of Bissouma’s standard and pace/mobility, assuming he moves on. All the other promote from within ideas, huge gambles. How many times did a brilliant Bissouma tackle save the day and points?

3. A striker who can actually tuck away chances and half chances.

It would be great if we could keep Bissouma and White but we have a better replacement in place for White unless Moises Caicedo is seen as a Bissouma replacement.
Moder looks great but he seems to be a more attacking than defensive midfielder.
It depends on money as always. Couldn't blame Tony for cashing in on one or more players to cover the losses.

Not to mention getting an email alert that says "Brighton sign Danish international striker" complete with a picture of a nubile blonde with a vajaja.

I can't have 2 fun sponges chasing me around this place.

What in my post made you believe, for one second, I was actually serious about scouting the Moldovan 2nd second division for strikers?

Esp coming from a poster who labels himself 'rarely serious, frequently taken seriously '

Thrilled to be dubbed a fun sponge. Ha !

 

[jackanada]

Would anyone else want our cast offs?

What is the football equivalent of the charity shop or jumble sale?

Selling anyone below the very top level is going to be difficult, but the recent collapse of the french TV rights deal means that's the league where firesale bargains can be had.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Just a striker who could score a goal would be good....

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Just a striker who could score a goal would be good....

. . . and more than one goal would be just brilliant.

Come, come man, it's the very best part of the year. Who doesn't love 20 pages about an Eredivisie winger's WAG?

 

[The Fits]

It is a really strange window. We need one player. We know the type of player that is. And we need to try and get rid of about 10.

Burnley have good form here. Connolly to Turf Moor, you just know what would happen.

 

[boik]

My complete guess is a swap Biss for Willock.

Be happy with that, if Biss has to go.

 

[Mancgull]

Bissouma to Liverpool for £40m. Propper to PSV £4m. Loans out for some of our fringe players including Connolly and Tau.
Incoming;
Yakou Meite - Reading £7m. Physical forward who has scored a goal every three games for Reading over the past 3 seasons. 25 years old. Adds to our options up front.

Callum Styles- Barnsley LWB. Energetic, young player. Highly rated £6m.

Spare cash to help balance the books.
