We'll definitely need him!
Nice to see Smug moaning about the Toon window 
Stunning window if the newbies get anywhere near their promised levels.
And barring Pascal, who we knew was going, the only established player we have lost is Billy, a likeable and able back up player.
Hard to see how it could have realistically been much better.

We could also do some Osman pre-deals for the likes of Harder in January. On that subject, I don’t think that Gomez been announced!
Your potential outs are interesting. There are windows still open in Brazil, Netherlands, Saudi, Poland, Belgium, Portugal, Greece and Turkey.
Hummels seem to have turned down most options now. I guess it’s us or retirement. He is clearly having a very good think about it. He happens to be a player that would improve almost every squad in the world so I understand us waiting on him.
Surely, Peupion needs to go out too. We have so many good attacking options, he'll get no minutes here this season.

Hinsh will be playing at LB.
Beleba played 90 minutes on Tuesday.
So it might be Milner/Ayari - be good to see Ayari get some PL game time.
Billy Gilmour played the fifth most minutes out of any of our players in the league, starting 24 out of the 31 games he was available (he was injured for a seven game run during which exactly 1 goal was scored by a Brighton player).
He also started seven out of eight games in Europa League, started the two first FA cup games (he was injured for the final one).
Why would someone listen to anything you say when you clearly have absolutely no idea what you're talking about?
Yes, I was expecting all of those to be sorted in the window - bit disappointed TBH. Lamptey, of course, may well stay as a squad player, but it would have been nice to see the youngsters getting some EFL time, permanent or otherwise.

I know it can’t all happen in one window, but I’m suprised Peupion, Samuels and to a lesser extent Lamptey and Igor are still here
Yes, I forgot Peupion - I find it hard to remember everyone.

Sadly, the report of Harder to Forest was not accurate!

Who is the most excited signing we’ve made this summer?
For me it’s Gruda

‘Started’ being the operative word but how many of those matches was he substituted and why didn’t he start in every game he was available?
As for your last sentence - it says more about you than it says about me.
If I didn’t work and spent most of my time getting stoned - I too might spend my life eating pizzas in a dingy apartment and data mining the internet reading the scouting reports of numerous players on the transfer market or browsing sporting websites for new talent and making YT videos but there you go
we don’t all have time to do the research.However, I’ve been watching Brighton for over 50 years because I grew up in Brighton so I know a few things about our ethos thanks very much and some of what the new manager is looking for in his new squad.
While you are busy flooding every Albion thread with your expertise be careful not to come across as an arrogant pr!ck or you might find the reputation you are trying to cultivate as guru on all things Brighton football might backfire on you.
We have overdosed on attackers but apart from Ferdi have added nothing to our slow defenders. Also gamble to release Gilmour when O' Riley is injured.
The price we have paid for some recruits seems rather high but I guess we all trust TB and co.

Ferdi, he is the key to unlocking the rest of the team.
He was often subbed off in the final ten minutes or so, because he's a midfielder in football and might get tired every now and then.
He didn't start every game he was available because of player rotation in some sort of not too successful attempt to keep players fit.
