The sheer number of signings that Gus has made does show that he has been given adequate backing by TB. It is annoying that he implies that he somehow is working off a shoestring.
Puts it in prospective really however we could be in top flight, euro and win the FA cup and people would still moan! Gus has signed some poor players, but hes also signed some amazing players who under Slade or Adams would never play for us. What manager hasn't made a few mistakes?
An alternative analysis - ups and downs not included.
Holroyd - shit
Arismendi - shit
Hendrie - past it
LuaLua - class but injury prone
Barnes - superb League 1 signing, not up to it in Championship
Ankergren - ditto Barnes
Calderon - great in League 1, jury's out now though
Painter - ditto Calderon
Greer - great signing
Sandaza - shit
Brezovan - unconvincing keeper
Hoskins - half a million pound sicknote
Buckley - great player but appears to be a million pound sicknote
Mackail-Smith £2.5million. 6 goals
Kishishev - did the job for half a season before his legs packed up
Wood - failed to impress after an encouraging start
Vincelot - doesn't appear to offer anything other than versatility
Paynter - shit, laughing stock
Bridcutt - great signing although a bit of a lucky one
Vicente - has achieved the impossible in being a more expensive sicknote than Paul Kitson, and an even bigger joke
Harper - good keeper, 1 month loan = pointless
Sparrow - inconsistent midfielder, sometimes good, frequently anonymous
Noone - good signing with potential, no end product currently
Harley - 1/4 million pounds worth of shit
Baz - shit
Battipiedi - shit
No wonder Tony Bloom won't give him any more money. Don't expect much in the way of signings this month.
Call me a cock all you like chaps, but onto page 2 of this thread, and the only signing anyone has bothered to question my opinion of is, er, Lee Hendrie.
Could just face facts that our manager is a bit of a joke when it comes to transfers, despite all his pathetic whinging about not being given enough money to spend
Seriously, this guy needs a ban?
There is utterly no point to him. Not funny, not informative, doesn't spark any sort of debate, annoys some and mildly irritates many, and does the opposite of what a Brighton supporter should do.
Ban the cock
you're thinking of my partner
Ultimately I can't help feeling these sort of posts will cease once WW finds his first girlfriend.

Couldn't of put it better myself. Tony is no mug, I keep saying Gus isn't the right man for the job and this time next year he'll be playing golf.
