Apart from:

Finding an affordable player
Of the right quality
Of the right wages
Who wants to move
Who no other better club is also targeting
Who wants to live in England
Who wants to live in Brighton
With 3 weeks of the window to go(so they would could wait for a better offer)

I see NO factors which could sometimes make signing a player of Premier league quality difficult

Understandably Barber sticks up for staff and has always said how good this dept is. Have even heard him say how they look ahead and always have players on radar for each position. How is it then we have not had a wide left defender in last year. Potter bought his own man in for recruitment which was an addition to team.
So many now say we havent got money to buy a striker which may well be right. As well as Covid reason is also we wasted so much on transfers and wages on Andone,Locadia,Percy,Alli etc. Was Ashworth in situ when these signings made
He lauded Burke too. Means nothing.

It is therefore amazing that our rivals succeed in their acquisitions. Think on that.

OK. I'll have a think.

No it's not amazing. We also have successes. You speak as if we have not succeeded. Where did all our players come from!? Yesterday we won. We have players who are good at football.

Transfers are extremely complicated things with a lot of moving parts. We are shopping in a very unusual Market. We want players who we believe can play in the PL but the TOP teams are not after. Then factor in all the other variables i mentioned and these things are not simply done like it'd a video game. The OP is talking about ONE position where he feels we should have recruited. Sometimes these things take longer.

Name me all the LB's we have been beaten to as that is the position the OP is talking about.

People would look at Sanchez, Webster, Bissouma, Gross etc and think "why didn't we get to them before brighton". Every club can look at what others are doing and moan.

Well, we need a LWB/LB as second priority. Not sure who we have missed out on in that position TBF. However, as you know, striker is the position I believe we have consistently messed up. Nunez is a great example. Ally Mac’s m8 is another.

How long have you been working for the recruitment army BTW? Get a ****ing move on.
