For me the type of player that would help us the most would be, Tex from Liverpool as a 10. or That young striker BC have on loan From either Chelsea or West Ham Tammy something.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Do you think we'll sign a forward in the January transfer window?

Tex not in the first team squad at Porto http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37824564

Not that I rate Tex at all. Lightweight and loses possession too easily.
I wonder how much Da Silva would cost? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_Silva_(footballer)

Shirley there has to be a better Pritchard somewhere out there for that position !

I would happily take Tex from Porto on loan until the end of he season to compete with Baldock for the no10 role
Suspect we have other targets though

It's a shame Jiri doesn't have a mate who fits the bill.

I would have done when he was released by Liverpool but we have now moved on and not sure he is the answer now.

Teixeira is unfortunately tainted by association with the Hyypia era for me. Good lad, but I wouldn't have him back. He's nowhere near as good as Knockaert, and not any better than Solly, I'd suggest.

By the way: Hogan's gone off the boil a bit after a storming start, hasn't he? I think I'd want to know he could sustain his form up until Christmas before deciding he was worth millions.
Billy Paynter scored at the weekend.
Yes, But we're supposedly looking for a 'Better Baldock', not a better winger. Not sure Tex is a no. 10, to use the modern parlance, but I would love to see him playing in a Brighton team where players made themselves available for him to pass to (Hyypia's team didn't, which is why he often had to try and hang on to it too long) or ran into the spaces he expected someone to run into for his probing passes (Hyypia's team didn't do that either). Sadly, I think that bird has flown, though.

I am not suggesting Tex as competition for those Wide positions but as a No 10
He was the only player that really performed under Hyypia, and In a decent side would be a good addition
However I do agree we should be looking for better, really good players should be gagging to sign for us in January

I'd like to think we'd be a relatively attractive prospect for a particular type of player in January.
Not the established hero looking for a fat payday, of course: those sort of players will go to Newcastle or Villa because they'll pay them forty or fifty grand a week. But certainly the younger, hungry player at a club that's maybe not in such a strong position on the pitch as us (touch wood), and who sees an opportunity to succeed and make a name for himself.

What about the innocent man who scored for Chesterfield on Saturday hoping to get back into the Wales squad.

Seaweed! Seaweed!
And i am going to wash my car for it's annual clean this week end too.
Like we need the circus that would come with him.
I would suggest there is a bigger chance of me signing in January.

I like the look of Sam Gallagher at Blackburn. Scored a few goals in a struggling team, he is young and has a hell of a shot on him. Looks like he works hard too.

It was a very tongue in cheek suggestion and not meant to be serious as apart from anything else he isnt back at our level yet.
