Jonathan Calleri

[Tekanne]

So I wonder who we will sign? Pretty obvious it's not going to be Calleri or Bolanos, and we do need another striker so I wonder who will it be!

[severnside gull]

Who it will be............when it will be. More games drifting away with goals and wins desperately needed

If this is going to be sorted today, there is 8hrs15mins to go.

Current time in Buenos Aries 15:45

Jesus Christ.

Let us just sign the token League One striker we always go for and put an end to this madness. IT'S DOING MY NUT IN, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WORK

 

[doogie004]

Yep bored now need striker badly as stated games comming thick and fast end up with cog

 

[Triggaaar]

It's 81 pages for me, which feels somewhat meaningless, but I've just noticed the post count

Someone did post yesterday that their ITK says we're not in for any foreign rubbish so this is probably all bullshit anyway.

Calleri is foreign quality, not foreign rubbish, so all good.

If we do go down that route then Adam Armstrong is the hottest league one striker at mo, 16 goals for Coventry this season and is available this window. Apparently some Championship clubs have already been in touch with Newcastle about signing him permanently.

Hope he can do more than the tap ins shown in his vid.

I'm concerned he'd actually get mullered against Championship centre halves, the ones in his skills vid are laughable.

So, If we have missed out then it is a shame, but if you step back and take off your blue and white tinted specs for a moment and look at this situation from Jonathan Calleri's point of view, it's not all that surprising. The lad is 22 and is the best young player at Boca Juniors, the biggest club in South American football. From most reports it seems he is being eased out by Boca because they need the cash. So now he must take the daunting step of emigrating, potentially to a country where he doesn't speak the language. Not an easy thing to do I'm sure.

On top of this is all the talk of Champions league winners Chelsea and Inter Milan showing an interest and then some club from the second tier in England.

I guess Paul Winstanley and the club have done all they can to sell the clubs potential to him and point to the likes of Rihad Mahrez and Odion Ighalo as examples of players who joined Championship clubs, got playing time and flourished rather than stagnated, sat on the bench at bigger clubs. Both of these guys gained experience in English football and got promoted to the Premier League and both now look like getting massive moves to teams like Arsenal and Manchester United, where they will likely be first team starters.

Luis Suarez, easily the best striker in the world on current form, didn't just move to a European giant when he came across the Atlantic. He bided his time at Groningen in Holland, before Ajax came calling and the rest is history.

So although I'm disappointed that the club didn't get their man, I'm genuinely more optimistic about the clubs future because for me, the biggest part in all this is that Brighton is now competing for the best young talent South America has to offer. This saga will be looked back upon as a watershed moment in our recent history, as the moment we began seriously bidding against the likes of 3 times European cup winners Inter Milan and did so with a better than average chance of success.

And to the Calleri's I say, We may not be the biggest club in world football, but as Luis Suarez has proved, biggest isn't always best when you are starting out in Europe. If you had come to Brighton to help us win promotion, then I'm sure we would have loved you from day one like the superstar you might one day become and you wouldn't have regretted it for a second.

Messy....

The attacker did not train this morning to fix some paperwork related to transferring. The operation is still not defined and could train again later.
He started a new week in Cardales, where mouth is full with their physical preparation for a challenging 2016, and the news from the Sofitel Reserve was the absence of Jonathan Calleri in the first practice of the day.
This morning we learned that the striker had been sold abroad, but the precise information that was finally abandoned the concentration authorized by the coaching staff to be able to conclude some transactions that are linked to his former representative, Fernando Hidalgo.

Also in the next few hours there may be news about their future , we do a little farther and farther from the Xeneize : before living his experience in football of the old continent , the investor group would buy Jony could deposit six months Brazil. The strongest chance would Minerio Athletic .
"I know that there are negotiations, but it is working well in the preseason. Today I had to resolve some personal issues , but surely train with us in the afternoon. I just have to worry about thinking about how to put together the team ," he predicted in his lecture Rodolfo Arruabarrena on the issue, also pending definition.

That's pretty impressive for a first post. Who are you?

Is he really available in this window?
Sign him up FFS, I'm amazed if Newcastle are willing to sell, very fast and as good eye for goal from what I have seen, I'd be well happy if we signed him

Reading into the comments Mowbray made in his Press Conference earlier today, would suggest that some Championship clubs are trying to sign him this window, realistically though loan is more likely:
