Money for new striker

This may already have been posted from Sky Sports... in which case, I'm repeating it:

Brighton chairman Dick Knight says that he will hand manager Mark McGhee money to buy a new striker in January.

The Seagulls are languishing in the bottom three in The Championship having won only two games all season.

Albion have been the draw specialists of the division with 13 games ending all-square, and Knight says that a lack of firepower up front has cost them.

Knight says the club need a big target man to help them climb out of the drop zone, and will make funds available for McGhee to enter the transfer market.

"We've got ideas. We have a little bit of money, we just need to find the right person," said Knight, who wants a player similar to Tottenham's Grzegorz Rasiak.

"I watched a reserve match the other night and saw Rasiak. He's not in our league but if we could find a player like him we'd be right in there.

"We need a player to turn the 13 draws into six wins - and then we'd be in the top half."

Well we are expecting £225,000 from Leeds, plus £20k if he reaches 20 appearances, which is close.

Is that enough? We should be looking to ship a few out on loan to save on wages....(if that is still possible)

How much for George Boyd from Stevenage Borough?

Good thinking, Adriano would be perfect. Would the forty notes fund be able to cover his wages?

Probably not. If it was the fifty notes fund, however...

Bring back Bobby Zamora! He will fall further down the pecking order at West Ham come January. We all know be can score goals, and would be the ideal partner for Leon. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Not sure where you got your info from, but Brighton aren't getting the other half of the £450k until February 06. And it's £50k when he makes twenty/forty/sixty appearances.

He's just signed another contract with them but was (is) meant to train with Leeds in two weeks time.

This may seem rather bizarre but do Reading have any strikers that are better than we have but who cannot get into their team.

After Saturday it is in their interests for us to beat the top clubs as well as our own so perhaps SC would loan us a striker if he has one!!

That would then leave money for a defender or vice versa them loan us a defender we get a striker.
