However our best striker can't (or won't ) run at the moment and the other one needs to get fit and settle. Still 2 weeks to go, can get a loan, don't help us in the games we're actually playing.

CMS tweeted a few days back "a slow and careful process but not long now"
In a podcast with the Albion physio before christmas he said he would start by playing with the Youth Squad to get "game time"

I'm just not running around with my trousers on fire because Barnes has been sold. Yes he was useful, yes he can be replaced, and almost certainly WILL be replaced within the next couple of weeks, maybe even within the next couple of hours. We did fine v Birmingham without him, we'll tick over. Despite what Barnes might think (Mr "Brighton are where they are now thanks to me"), his loss will not make or break our season.
Just wish people would stop hyperventilating just because we haven't got an immediate 1-out-1-in magic revolving door at the Amex. Christ, I've seen us sign 3 players in the last hour of the window before. In the soothing words of the great Gary Barlow....have a little patience.

The club have just put up a video taken today showing CMS training with the 1st team prior to them leaving for Derby. Looks raring to go (after getting up to speed with the DS team).
Not while I'm around.
It doesn't work like that - if it did, there would be a massive chain every time a player is bought/sold.
He took full part in training with the rest of the squad this week.

The Argus are reporting today that Joe Mason "would cost around 2.5million but would fit in with the wage structure". Earlier in the week he was rated at 600k.
They must be suffering a period of hyper-inflation in Wales.

To be fair, the Cardiff fans on here did laugh at the notion of getting him at £600k. He's a proven player at this level, yet young enough to be here a while. £2.5m doesn't sound unreasonable

Not seen such Bravery!
I always thought 600k was light. Possibly confusion between the loan fee and transfer fee

Fine. Chuck 'em 3 million for Mason and Conway. Forget Grabban. Job done.

What i fail to understand is that any "marque " signing,would expect to play. Garcia plays one up front,how would that work with Grabban ,etc.?IMO the loss of a goalscoring midfield player is very serious as he plays just behind the lone striker.That is the type of player we need.

You know Grabban was a winger as well as being able to play off of another striker or as a lone striker?

I hope we've given Grabban a deadline to make a decision by so we know where we stand, The last thing we need is to miss out on other potential targets while we wait for him to make his mind up.

If the rumours on twitter are correct, then Leicester are the favourites to sign him now, ahead of QPR, Forest and Reading. We don't even get a mention! I'd imagine the club know where we are with this

Good I hope he is very happy at these clubs. If what I read on another thread was true, that he basically agreed to come to us, had a medical and then other clubs starting sniffing around which scuppered the deal, I'm honestly glad if we don't take him. I know it's not his fault and I understand that whoever represents him is going for the best deal, but it's not really the way to carry on is it? Hopefully something much much better will come out of this in the end for us. Trust in bloom.
Wouldn't it be great if we did get promoted this season. Would boil down to, should have come to us instead of chasing the money.
