[Albion] *** The Official January 2023 Deadline Day Transfer Window Thread***

[GT49er]

Sorry if already mentioned elsewhere. We, (according to French Football News) are in the process of gazumping Southampton & Marseille for attacking midfielder/forward at Braga. Probably usual nonsense but is also the type of player Brighton would like.(although 20m more than usual) 22 years. Portuguese international. Seems promising.

Seems not .......................

[Albion] - Vítor Oliveira (Vitinha)

Brown, obvs! Absolutely with back bacon. No butter though.

I really thought we'd announce a signing this evening. I guess there's still time. Has Andy Naylor said 'no business expected today' yet?

Just been reported that P.A.S have come in with a late bid for Fabinho. Stands for Putins Assassin Squad apparently.

Not been able to keep up with things today…. So we’re signing nobody?

Looks that way (apart from those we know about and have signed already)

I assume everyone has seen the Paddy Power tweet featuring us... (apologies if you have). Made me laugh.

From the Guardian's coverage:

To leave themselves able to sign Arsenal’s Cédric Soares on loan, Fulham are expected to sign Shane Duffy on a permanent deal. Duffy has been on loan since the start of the season. Clubs can only have two loans and Fulham have already taken Dan James from Leeds.

From the Guardian's coverage:

Probably not of benefit for us to be helping Fulham. So that's £30M for Duffy then!

If Colwill, Lallana, and Ferguson aren't long term injuries
If Caicedo is prepared to put a shift in for the second half of the season
If Moder is back at some point over the next few months
If Ayari & Buanonotte are players who will be pushing for first team appearances by the end of the season

.....then i dont think we needed to make any more signings today. We certainly didnt need to go uneccesarily spunking our money.

Big word if

Another window where we have finished weaker than when we started

Every window we finish weaker than we started, yet here we are, 6th in the PL. I can't remember, but presumably we used to be a top 4 side before our never ending downward slide?
