Not necessary.
The next one isn't until 2019, and from that one onwards it will be held in June and July so not an issue mid-season anymore.

The long-lasting thirst for a striker seems to have been quenched then, for now anyway! seems an exciting prospect, that being said you never know whether you're getting an Anelka or a Mateja Kezman with these sorts of deals but I'm hopeful that we've unearthed a real gem

Perfect - definitely be settled in Brighton by the time we play West Brom on 9th
There's definitely potential that we've got a proper gem here though - fingers crossed...
When do they play Neighbours?Home and Away within 4 days
Yep, on the 1st and 5th. Congo home and away.

I was worried there for a moment but Ghana are playing Republic of the Congo, not Democratic Republic of the Congo. Brazzaville is fine, Kinshasa's a bit dodgy and further away. He'll be fine for West Brom. I'm relieved.
Brighton fans are mental. General consensus on this lad who really has done nothing, ever, is pretty positive. Stevan Jovetic, who is wanted by Sevilla, and has played for Inter, Man City and Fiorentina and has a one in two scoring rate at international level. Most people not interested. 
Are you making Brighton version?

Not sure. Birmingham tried to by a Nigerian player and failed to get the work permit.

Nigeria international Ogenyi Onazi has been denied a work permit to play for English Championship side Birmingham City.
Birmingham had agreed terms with the 24-year-old to sign him from Turkish club Trabzonspor.
However the Football Association turned down a first application for a work permit for Onazi last week.
An appeal made by the club was rejected on Wednesday despite Onazi being a regular in the Nigeria national team.
Despite appearing in over 80% of the national team games, Onazi failed to earn a permit after the FA considered the West African nation's world ranking in the past two years.
They are ranked 38th in the August 2017 ranking, but Nigeria finished 54th on aggregate over the past two years.
"He'd have been a real quality signing for us," Birmingham boss Harry Redknapp told BBC WM 95.6. "Before that, we lost out on Emmanuel Agyemang-Badubadou from Udinese. He's gone to Turkey for a fortune. Now we've lost Onazi too.
"It's because the country are out of the world Top 50 rankings. Nigeria have dropped to 54th, which stops you getting the permit. If they had been inside the Top 50, it wouldn't have been a problem."
Thought the suggestion of
'Please score for me Raph Dwamena',
to the tune of Don't cry for me Argentina, was genius
Nope but come on he's only scored in one game out of 5 in the Swiss league this season. Obviously I will give him a chance but I have no expectation with this one.

... to add
Ghana are currently ranked 50th.
Don't know their aggregate over the past two years. I assume Paul Barber does though.....
