Other Championship clubs are doing business...

[chaileyjem]

See the pattern here? Ambition.
.

Bit harsh to dismiss anyone who isn't necessarily won over to idea that Albion's 2015/16 season should be written off on May 22nd because Forest have signed Jamie Ward as club employees!.
(i don't mind. obviously.

 

[portslade seagull]

Can see the club doing some early business to boost ST sales

 

[GT49er]

But what are their beds like?

Completely dry of course. The people who used the derogatory term 'bedwetter' were wrong about that too.

 

[GT49er]

Before they cobbled together their public statement as to what went wrong and agreed it was a mutual parting of the ways there were reports in The Times and elsewhere that Warburton had been sacked.

Maybe 'constructive dismissal' is the appropriate phrase here?

 

[portslade seagull]

Not sure that will be widely used this time as they were all proved to be wrong with their over confidence with regards to the poor quality signings

 

[Justice]

Not sure about Jamie Ward being 29 would he be worth a three year deal?

[BensGrandad]

One flair midfielder gone to Wolves for next to nothing Jed Wallace and another looks like going to Sheff Wed Lewis McGugan either would have been an improvement to complement our workhorse midfielders of which we have many.

Going completely ot I fecking love the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres and his house in Cadaques. The guy was an absolute madcap genius. My favourite artist and much to his displeasure the second greatest Spanish artist ever. Never really got Picasso myself

Always was a Goya man myself........better than arguing over transfer market inactivity I think.

Thinking about it, it could have been that Dali didn't appreciate being the second greatest LIVING Spanish artist.

 

[KZNSeagull]

He was announced in May.

Yes, when his contract ran out. He agreed to come to us months before that, but the deal was only announced when he actually joined the club.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i just hope they bring in 5 or 6 quality players we need if we are to be anywhere near the top half

 

[chaileyjem]

Here's a bit of a team who showed ambition and made the play offs twice in a row...
Lots of signings by May 22nd. Its the only way.

Will Buckley - June 6th
Vicente - Sept 2nd
Wayne Bridge - July 6th
Bruno - June 26th
Kus - June 19th
CMS - July 4th
Ulloa - er, January
Spanish Dave - Aug 31st
Upson - er, January
and so on...

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

43 days until training camp and falling.

Minimum 6 players still required.


We really need the left back and 2 strikers signed at least before we jet off.

 

[supaseagull]

Nothing will happen at least til 1st June.

Difference being we actually had some quality players on the books already. Now?

Kayal- Yep
Dunk- Debatable after a shaky 2nd half of the season but yes
Ince- Yes but contract expires at the end of the season...

Anyone else who has proven they can perform consistently well at this level? A couple of others you could make a case for but realistically there are positions all over the pitch where we are lacking in quality.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

A quick look at the Champ clubs shows that in fact virtually none of them are doing any business. At all.
Probably because its May 22nd.

Thats fine and I get the point you are making, But Brighton finished 20th they have more rebuilding to do than most. You would think the earlier it starts the better. Even if it is just one or two at the moment.

I know it doesn't have the same sort of impact as the WC but there is still a copa America and a u21 championships this summer which will have some impact of things are not done early.
