Spot on WRT our striker options. It is laughable that we might go with those 4. Actually, it is pathetic and foolish.

Giving up on the chance that we might sign a striker. There could be trouble ahead and the bottom three beckons after the next couple of games. Can see a panic buy in January to rectify this windows failure

Guess would be that its a loan deal they are looking at. Loanees team would probably want to wait until the last minute to cover themselves against injuries to their 1st team starters before releasing their fringe strikers...
If so this will possibly go to right to deadline day.

Like us with Murray....
I suspect the money is there BUT it has to be for the right player at the right price at the right time who passes the no dickhead test & actually wants to play for the Albion with no European football & probably facing a fight in the bottom 10
that is a lot to all align at the same time & only the club know who's face fits so its pretty irrelevant what anyone posts here as the club wont be taking notice as they have their targets and just hope and wait for the rest to align during the open window

Again a guess but I think Murray forced that and maybe we thought we had Nunez? Who knows...

I don't think we were anywhere near Nunez. He wanted the move to Benfica from the start so we must have been aware of this if indeed we were courting him.

Cant say i'm a fan of this moneyball thing, to me it doesnt look like its been that big a success in the recruitment of first team ready players, too many flops and not enough resale value. Its obvs Blooms way with the stats, probability algorithms and all that jazz....... but it is the best way? we're not going to find out as its Blooms club, but i wonder?
Guess like many? Id want Bloom to stay as long as he wants to, love the fella.......... but could we do with a mega rich Sheikh as an additional investment partner? Could we follow the very successful Wolves Jorge Mendes model by giving another super Agent with a lot of top players on their books a vested interest in the Albion? Kia Joorabchian or similar?
Sometimes it feels like Moneyball is also a highly rule based straight jacket.

Who knows? But Benfica had Emerson Cavani lined up to go there a week or so previously so they may have not been in the race at that time?
I couldn't think of anything worse. I'd literally prefer us to be playing in League 1.

Have you watched the movie "Moneyball"? Excellent film that explains in detail how statistical based analysis of players to build a team works and why dinosaurs who denied/blocked/ignored it became just that, dinosaurs.
Available from any Blockbusters on VHS
Agree 100%.
Too simplistic. It undoubtedly has a place, but in combination with other things IMO.

See the match?
Maupay looked like a new signing today.
2 goals in two games vs his dip in form last season that saw him score 3 in 20.
Very impressed by his positioning, passing and the assist. Feels more in tune with the whole team.
Having said all that I still think we need another striker in the squad incase of injuries.

Indeed, and for an option when clearing the ball under the high press. I would have liked to see Gyokeres on the bench rather than two left backs today, not that it mattered.
Ulrick Eneme Ella confirmed on one webby site but not on official Albion site yet - https://www.brightonandhoveindepend...-international-striker-signs-brighton-2979863

Not seen such Bravery!
8 exciting days of the main transfer window to go.
Hopefully we get Zeqiri announced soon.
Not sure there is much else to expect.
...although we do have the PL-EFL transfer window running for an additional 11 days so we can't entirely rule out a loan for Troy Deeney in that one.
