Do we need a defender in before Newcastle?

[Finchley Seagull]

Need to change Dunk, Stockdale and Skalack and Hughton needs to stop rotating 5-6 players every game. He's starting to piss me off.

Are you having a laugh or did I miss something? Are you saying Dunk should be dropped? One of our best two players this season? And Stockdale (one of our best players last season) and Skalak (who has setup numerous goals through his crossing)? If Hughton is pissing you off, you are not a fan after what he's done for Brighton. Judging by other posts of yours, I wonder if you are a Palace troll

Don't feed the troll.

Of course we need a new defender in before Newcastle.

2 defenders needed if Dunk goes.

He's been on the Palace Watchlist for a while. Chance of Palace : strong.

It was oh so ****ing obvious BEFORE the Reading game that we need another CB... now the club talking about needing a CB has to stop... time to stop ****ing about, sign a CB BEFORE the Newcastle game, or throw away any chance of coming away with a point or 3 at the (justified) favourites...

Sorry, posters who say we don't need another CB, you are talking utter, utter b0ll0x...

Liked this tweet from Liam tho'...

"Not our best today but still unbeaten. Fair play Reading well played. Injury hopefully not too bad + ready for Newcastle #together"

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

If Stephens does go to Burnley I would like us to go for Tendayi Darikwa as part of the deal.

Wow!

FFS... this Reading fan really is scum... the 4 stars in this moron's tweet rhyme with 'hunt' BTW...

What more convincing do people need that we require another experienced centre back? The idea that a club with title aspirations would be happy chucking a kid straight into the most difficult away game of the season is just bizarre. This isn't Football Manager. But setting aside the Rosenior scenario, we saw today anyway why Bruno is not a centre-back. Too easy to beat in the air and it almost cost us a couple of times. Better teams will be more ruthless. He admits himself he's not physically imposing enough for that position (even though on the whole he's done a really good job) and Hughton's convinced we need 1 more. The message is pretty clear - we need one more.

I agree with this part and in the event that we are unable to bring in anyone new I think I would play Ince along side Dunk for this one game. I think giving a youngster a debut away at Newcastle could be disastrous. At least Ince would not suffer any nerves.

But we wont #pennypinch because Goldson and the BFG may be back. Poker player chairman hedging bets.

But the club has actually done more than talk about needing a new CB. They've bid for a new CB.

 

[maltaseagull]

Debutant RB? Oh, you must mean Saltor............

I will never understand why we signed him.
He has never featured for us and Bruno is so reliable he will never get a chance

Not good enough. The club must have known they weren't going to renew GG's contract early this year (half-way through last season). They've known UH was badly injured for roughly the same amount of time. They knew CG was injured at the very start of pre-season... so the delay for a replacement to be signed is unacceptable IMHO...

Not good enough? This isn't a Championship Manager computer game, it's real life. Our targets get gazumped and go to PL clubs. Other clubs play hard ball (like TB does) and refuse to sell. Players turn round and say they don't want to play for Brighton (unbelievable I know, but undoubtedly true).

Let's make this clear. I'm not saying we don't need to bring someone in (and hardly anybody else is advocating that either). I agree we do need to bring someone in. I'm sure the club is trying to find a CB. I hope they succeed.

But more than that, I hope they don't go down the road of making a panic buy that'll just be a drain on resources for the rest of the season just to keep supporters who are baying for the club to bring someone - anyone - in happy (and who probably won't be much better than the youngsters we've got anyway).

I agree with most of what you say, but stand by what I said too; the club has failed to sign a replacement for GG having know the need is there for over half a year, so not good enough. Try recognising that not everything the club do is perfect then cut the shit about Championship Manager.

I sometimes wonder if the club planned to give Greer another 12 months contract (as most of us expected, I think) but he threw a spanner in the works by letting the club know he wouldn't be interested and wanted to go elsewhere to get game time.
I've never said the club is perfect; I've said I'm sure they're trying to find the right person. And frankly, too many people do seem to think that buying new players is like Championship Manager! Trying is one thing; they still might not succeed.

Phillipe Sendeross is a free agent would he be expensive and could he do a job?

Hmmm.....not a bad shout, but the fact that he seems to be on the shelf at the tender age (for a defender) of 31 suggests that the injuries he suffered at Villa which resulted in his contract being ended by mutual consent may be, at best, career limiting. We do seem to like signing sick-notes, though.

After Villa he signed a 6 month contract at Grasshoppers so now a free agent.

Yes, I know that. And they didn't offer him another one.
