Poyet wants 3 players

[the hitman]

Have a feeling gus will go after two striker today. Can't see Hart or Holroyd getting anywhere near the first team, and gus has stated he wants two player in each position.

I'm with you there Marshy - and it's an incredibly good feeling to start the season with a squad that will be tough to improve. Gonna be a spanking season if a few things fall into place.

Am I being naive? Unless we sign very good players (good enough to replace first teamers) why do we want more players - apart from a striker and left sided midfielder where we are obviosuly short?

How will Gus keep everybody happy?

Keeper? Brez number one - perm one of the other ten keepers for No 2

Defence? First choice is Calde, Greer, Elphick and Painter. We won't get better than any of those so can only be after cover - which you can argue we have.

Midfield? We're awash with midfielders. Add LuaLua and we don't need more. Already wondering about how he's going to fit Sparrow, LuaLua, Bennett, Dicker, Kish etc etc into the team.

Strikers? We need one more solid striker - that's clear.

So we NEED a striker plus LuaLua.
We'd LIKE more defensive cover?

Do we need three more signings? Just asking.

That about echos my thoughts. With lua Lua here, we don't need any more midfielders, defence is sound and always have the loan market in an emergency. I'd spunk the whole 30% on a striker...quality not quantity!

Would be staggered if that's true - but I floated that as an idea a few hours ago!!

 

[Mellotron]

From BBC Sport:

shorteyboi on Twitter: "Jason Roberts has arrived at Brighton's training ground for talks with Gus Poyet."

Surely not?

 

[Caveman]
