As I see it, the club has made sure it shouldn't need to sign any more attacking players in the near future. Even if a few of the young signings fail, there's still a bunch of promising attacking players. Next summer when we could see Joao Pedro and perhaps Mitoma move, I expect them to be replaced from players we already have.
Similar could be said about midfield, and goalies for that matter.
But I could easily see us spend close to £100m next summer to bring in a couple of (especially central) defenders as Van Hecke, Igor, Veltman and Lamptey are all quite likely to leave. There's no one in the U21 ready to step up right now and given the age of the CB talent down there, its most likely a few years away. Van Hecke, who surely must be big-club bound by the summer, needs to be replaced with the kind of quality that often will cost a bit of money.
I'm sure we'll see less business done next year than the last two years but its not like we're going to sign (or sell) zero players.

Whether we are playing in Europe or not next season will a massive factor in our transfer dealings.
If we are in Europe I could see the club wanting to retain JPvH and Bart.
I think Enciso and Buonanotte are more likely to be sold if the price is right. But to get the maximum price for Enciso they will need to put him in the shop window either with the Albion or on loan.
It's an amazingly strong situation to be in.

NGL, I winced a bit when I realised that (despite all our purchases this summer) the only Brighton player on this list is Buonanotte. Pleased for him though.

Who are the summer signings of the Premier League season so far?
With almost a fifth of the campaign in the bag, we cast an eye over the top-rating players who moved in the off-season

Yeah, but not so good we also get a mention under Max Lacroix as conceding the same number of goals as winless Palace.NGL, I winced a bit when I realised that (despite all our purchases this summer) the only Brighton player on this list is Buonanotte. Pleased for him though.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

It's all going rather well for Facundo, another goal and a whoscored rating of 8.6 today.

Turning out to be the perfect loan spell for the lad. Getting a tonne of minutes, PL experience under no huge pressure and winning plenty of plaudits. I'm so pleased for him, as there is definitely an amazing player there. Be like having a new ready made signing next season.

If they really want to buy him it should be like 20m, 30m....and thereafter for every season defining goal he scores.....just if they even wanna keep him after Christmas...... be like....

Keep an eye on his thread on the Leicester forum. They consider him their best player by some margin.
This is probably a masterclass loan spell initiated by the club, unless it turns out he's so good this season that it's something we're missing.
Worst case scenario - It's trebling his value and then some. Best case scenario, we have a top, top player coming back next season.

On their forum, they are saying they should offer us £50m for him.
In reality, if he keeps this up, the club will be asking for even more...

Got to be in the right place to put them in.

Yes he’s doing well at Leicester - pretty sure he’s made all the difference to them so far this campaign. ( At least he can’t play against us!). One of his core skills has always been that he finds space to get at the end of a ball in dangerous areas.
My only concern is our clubs’ comparative standards may develop at different rates this season and Buonanotte will find it tough to get back into the home side. In which case, he could end up seeking a transfer out at the end of his loan and we could lose out financially by not keeping him but selling him before he has started fulfilling his full potential.

A problem to worry about in the close season. For now I'm enjoying watching a young lad loving his footy, playing and scoring. It's a win win for him and us no matter what.
Are we at the “printing mugs and t-shirts” stage yet?
