Is everything really Hunky Dorey at Brighton and Hove Albion??

[Deleted User X18H]

Apparently we now have some dough right?? Now clubs with dough sign players willy nilly and keep hold of 'squad' players i.e Fraser , Robinson, Loft, Jarret , Sullivan etc.

By this time last year we had agreed to sign Mcleod Hawkins and Livermore, and in all probability Virgo.

You can not have a big enough squad in this league if you can afford it!! Don't tell me all Lizards cash is tied up in the Stadium what happens when its built we are all very grateful but we can't move in for 8 months and we have a Chairman with a controlling interest of 75% who has no more cash??!!!

I'm just worried by the ratio of players released to those we so far have not got anywhere near signing I mean we only have one keeper , very much admired with great ability but he is prone to an injury.

Lets hope we don't get the totally disinterested loan signings scenario again this season as we panic about the depth and quality of the current Squad

Relax, all will be fine. Just because we haven't bought any players doesn't mean we haven't been trying.

And look what good that done us? I'd rather we take our time this summer and get it right.

I think that just about says it all!

I say wait until the last minute of the transfer window if last year is anything to go by

At least we are hearing rumours of players coming out the blue that we have tried to sign and failed.

It shows we are trying, instead of doing nothing, which is the normal

The only thing that worrys me is that we only have 16 players in the squad, and we have to name 18 on a matchday. Those 16 include Jonny Dixon, Colin Hawkins, Josh Pelling, Steve Brinkhirst and Steve Cook

Just hope Insiders answer to Pre Season friendlies doesnt extend to signing players

Pre Season Friendlies - North Stand Chat

Sure it will be fine. Just looking forward to the first signing. Be great if we can get one that turns a few heads and show our intent of Championship football intime for Falmer

 

[Beach Hut]

What a load of tosh, just wait and see as the three players we had secured this time last year hardly impressed at all.

 

[forumwayseagull]

The question I suppose is.....ARE we looking to get decent players through spending out on transfer fees? (I listened to TB podcast again and it is crystal clear we have one of the BIGGEST BUDGETS and he expects results (top 6)......................)

Or are we going to be messing around over scraps? ( don't really think so)

I would assume the former by the sounds of the rumours but it would be nice to get the ball rolling with a couple of decent signings and some comment from RS in a way of saying we hope to sign........players in the next week. ( I do however get the feeling that RS is an astute man in these proceedings and we won't really hear anything until it is all tied up.)

Please not more doom and gloom....there will be more than enough time for that once the action re-starts!

HB&B, why not join up with Withdean Wanderer and the other doom merchants and go take a summer break?

I just worry mate!!

 

[desprateseagull]

if bloomski had all this dough, how come he dodnt ante up to start with, to save all this palarver with getting (or not getting) 3rd party funding..?

and if he hadn't, would the stadium project / club have folded?

 

[Napper]

Too early to panic , I am wondering if Bloom's money is purely for the stadium though. Maybe we haven't masses for the transfer budget , It's a distinct posibility

Got a Hobby (Horse get it) can't find anything decent til this evening though!!

As for a Job I sort of have one but I just don't have to turn up to it!!!!

It's not cash that is needed to be successful in the transfer market. It's a decent address book and the right numbers stored in mobile phones.

and to be able to convince decent players at this level to come and play in an Athletics Stadium and change in a hut for two years!!

Also to be able to find a decent and affordable place to live !!!
