[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

I’m taking “not at this moment” to mean later today.

CH on window incomings: "Not at this moment. It's not an easy window. In the Premier League not a lot of business has been done. I am sure there will be." #bhafc

Does somebody need a cuddle?

The vast majority of fans are more than content, we remember where we came from and how bad things can get. What we have now is more than we could of dreamed of 20 years ago. So what if we don't get sign everyone we go after? If that's what you want in a football club then I am sure Real Madrid would be more to your liking.

Jog on mi amigo.

The majority of our current fans do not remember where we came from. I am one who remembers where we came from and I disagree that we have to skew our opinions and tediously peddle this one out on obvious failings because of it.

As I said previously, it may not prove to be a failure yet but there's little doubting that our transfer business has not exactly been going to plan since the Summer.

Not really.

The pissed off are probably more likely to vote
Certain users are excluded from voting (tapatalk for example)
Representative of fans in general or NSC members ?
How many non-fans (Palace trolls ?) voted ?
Window isn’t closed yet so many will be waiting to judge the outcome (accepting poll is ‘so far’ though so asking for a judgement now). Probably in part explains the low voting numbers

I think you're clutching at straws.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Did you not see the poll on “rate the transfer window so far”? I suggest that the vast majority of NSC are not happy with the way it has gone.

I don't think any supporter is happy with way the transfer window has gone, including TB and CH.

Whose fault that is - if it's anybody's fault - is a completely different question, the answer to which is only known by four people.

Certainly not anybody on here or anyone who voted on that or any other poll.

That is not a proven fact any more than somebody else posting the vast majority of fans are not happy with the window and how it has gone.

Nothing happening any time soon.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference for the Seagulls' match with Chelsea on Saturday, Hughton was asked if the club were close to bringing any players in and said: "No. But I'm quite sure even if there was anything, the correct way to do any business is to only announce anything when it's done.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Chris Hughton is expecting another frantic end to the January transfer window.
"I'm sure there will be, but we have got used to these windows where the business is mostly done at the tail end of it more than the beginning."

That doesn’t mean nothing happening any time soon, just means it will not be announced before it is done. Could be an announcement today, but probably not until 31st if I’m honest with myself.

Just one example of the January window. Sanchez is moving. Everyone knows he is moving and you would think it would all have been thrashed out by January 1st, but no, he still hasn't moved yet.

I realise this is nothing to do with Brighton, before some wise guy says so, but it is an example of slowness of a transfer window.

City not willing to pay what Arsenal wanted, Arsenal not wanting to let him go but within a few hours of City pulling out United came in for him. I'd say it's happening quite fast from a United standpoint. I imagine he'll sign before our 9 month hunt reaches a conclusion or not....

Maybe, maybe not. It's still taking 18 days so far.

 

[BensGrandad]

From the comments of CH it would seem that we should put this thread on hold until at least Monday of next week.

No it's not, it's taken two since United threw their hat in the ring. City pulled out only the day before yesterday. I certainly wasn't aware Sanchez was moving on January 1st.

There's a world of difference between the possibility of playing for Brighton v either Manchester club. We don't quite have the same pulling power.

At times like this you NEED someone like Gus to passionately sell the dream.

So now you are saying that it all comes down to CH being a DULLARD?

Gus sent useless Murray on his bike and sold the dream to CMS. Whatever happened to the career of Murray after that?

Vicente and Bridge moves the seesaw back to Gus though. I was open mouthed when they signed for us. Gus was brilliant at selling the club and remember he also signed Bruno.

We have made some great signings since but none come close in terms of "wow, are these really Brighton players?" when they signed.

The Vicente deal was only ever possible with Gus (IMHO)

 

[BensGrandad]

I cannot believe that Ings hasnt gone out on loan anywhere as he stands no chance of a start at Liverpool. Also what about Niassie at Everton wasnt he on our radar once.

We can but dream BG. Not all of NSC has your admirable restraint when it comes to posting unfounded bollocks,
