I think March will be an option either side for wing back if needed but I expect we will sign a left back/left wing back. Even if White is sold, we could still play three at the back with Veltman or Burn coming in

No idea if he's better but there's been a lot of talk on here about Alfonso Pedraza from Villareal. I imagine there are plenty of options available and the club will presumably have a range of targets. Henry would be a decent option for me. Still very young and has had a good season. Only...

I think we will play a back three (Webster, White and Dunk) at least some of the time. Lamptey is ideally suited to the right wing back role so we're probably looking for someone who can play left wing back as well as left back

He would be an interesting signing and we have brought in a couple of players from Championship clubs since Potter arrived. To be fair, we don't know we're not interested. There are reports on Pedraza but quite often Albion spring a surprise and sign players without much talk of them joining...

I agree. If White is as good as he is reported to be, he won't be with Brighton for long. There's already big clubs interested before he has played a Premier League game. There's also other young centre backs like Clarke, Ostigard, Roberts, O'Hora and Dendoncker out on loan or in the under 23s...

Do you mean we should spend £40 million on a striker? Like Newcastle did on Joelinton?

I've never known a club where former players seem quite so keen to talk about their transfer targets throughout pre season. Every day there seems to be a new former Leeds player (Jermaine Beckford yesterday) saying that Ben White is desperate to play for Leeds and Brighton should accept any...

Even accepting what you write here is true, you seriously feel sorry for someone earning 5K a week? What world do you live in? In the real world, I am sure Ben White currently earns significantly more than £5K per week and there's no actual proof he wants to move to Leeds. We are heading to...

Some of them don't just think he's a top class coach. They actually seem to think he's the best coach in the world at the moment. It's truly bizarre. I wonder if their view will change if he decides not to sign a new contract. I know it's unlikely but it would be very funny

It's a difficult question but probably White. We stayed up last season without him. If we lose Dunk and replace him with White, one of two things are likely to happen. Either he struggles initially in the Premier League, in which case we've weakened our defence significantly. Or he does as well...

Agreed. It may be a pessimistic view but it's definitely another positive of all the players we have loaned out. Even selling some of our high profile players, we'd still have a number of players with recent Championship experience, before we even bought anyone.

It's almost like there's a plan with our young players and they develop each year. But that can't be true as Leeds fans tell us we'd never heard of one of them and had no idea of his potential. On a serious note, it shows the different level we're on compared to 10/15 years ago. The fact that...

I would worry more about what Potter and Ashworth think. If they want him, I am happy with that. In fairness, since Potter came in, all our signings have done okay. Nobody can be called a waste of money

That is because of how he left them. They are still bitter. However, I am not surprised you are not impressed. If we signed Mbappe you would be saying he has no Premier League experience and is over rated

I agree there. It does have the potential to go wrong. But if we are lucky we get a really talented player who is keen to play, great for the dressing room and offers us a different dimension going forward.

Agreed. Naylor says he's agreed lower pay to get the longer deal and coaching prospects

I am very happy with this signing. Think it shows how far Albion have come that we can attract a player of his quality, even if he is 32. So often this season we just lacked the final ball when in good positions. Lallana should help with that. He probably won't play every game but he will make a...

But that's what he is saying. It's not injuries that have kept him out the last two seasons. Apparently he has had a good fitness record recently, he's just been out of the team due to this Liverpool side being so good. And he's still played in 15 games in the Premier League this season (not...

Agreed. He was such a key player for us that first season, especially after Christmas, and the one player we've had with promotion with real pace. I am confident if he'd not got injured and carried on that form, we would have made a big profit out of him by now. While there's no way we'll get...

Totally agree with this. There are also players on there who we've been genuinely unlucky with. I am sure the critics would say Izquierdo was a waste of money now. However, he was brilliant for us in the second half of the first season up and a big reason we survived. You could argue that would...
