****** The Official January Transfer Window Thread *******

[WhingForPresident]

'Brighton chairman Tony Bloom says they are ready for the transfer window following the appointment of Chris Hughton as manager.

Hughton took charge of the Seagulls on Wednesday and is in need of bolstering his squad, with the loan deals of four players having expired.

"We need to get going quite quickly," Bloom told BBC Sussex.

"I have only spoken briefly with Chris, but in terms of the recruitment we are ahead of the game."'

I dread to think what would've happened if we weren't 'ahead of the game'..

Ah well, still the loan window to go.

We're ahead of the summer transfer window....

Carlton Cole to WBA appears to be SSN's major story, the deal has dramatically fallen through and they are trying to DIG deeper with their sources to find out exactly WHY.

Zzzzzzzzzz.

Indeed, now for the loan window, and the endless threads about Murray on a 93 day loan.

 

[albion1972]

the fact Naylor is still in the building might show we still might have some news.

Give it a rest eh? If there's no big stories then it's hardly Sky's fault. How else are they suppose to fill time?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Yep, Derby with Ince, Bent and Lingard now look Prem bound.

Ridiculously quiet window. Interesting that a number of slackers have had their contracts terminated - take a bow Assou-Ekotto and Roger Johnson. Blackpool anyone?

He's gone home.

I know that feeling, Jim.

I'm not blaming sky?

Just tiresome listening to them rinse repeat the same stories about Zaha, Fletcher ect & attempting to tell us there's big drama, saying that like I said I guess it's not their fault nothing is happening,

 

[albion1972]

He's gone home.

Thats it then. Oh well.

I can't deny Derby's right to prem football, they've been mustard this past two seasons. IMO they've got the best manager in the Championship and have bought well. They are a relatively big club. Now, Bournemouth .....well what can I say?

 

[OvingdeanSeagull]

FFS. Very disappointed, we needed another winger at least. Are we really gonna rely on Calderon at right mid for the rest of the season? Either that or yet another loan deal. [emoji53]

 

[Pavilionaire]

10 years ago who would have believed that in 2015 Bournemouth would be bidding £5million for a player while Rangers window business would be taking 5 kids from Newcastle on loan?

we have lua lua coming back so calderon will drop out

 

[ozzygull]

Is it just me but maybe Tony was correct when he said we were ahead of the game. we have re-signed Halford, got In Best and the fella from Celtic. Also new contract for KLL and With the players potentially comming back from injury and maybe an opertunity in the loan window, maybe CH thinks he has enough to keep us up, and it was done long before the last day. Apart from Colunga going out loan (bit odd) we have not lost anyone (COG, Dunk) Just a thought.

True, but he plays on the left - normally anyway. Is Baldock going to move to the right? I hope not. We need a proper right winger.

We have got Monokanna back training with us, so might be a time for him to step up and be tested, even if just from the bench.

Oh bl**dy hell no, not more of that gash. He's gone - get over it.

Would like to see Baldock played as a striker.
