Again, I'm conscious I've said a lot without really saying anything, which shows I haven't really made my own mind up on a lot of the above! 

Yeah, but no, but yeah.  😉

(But that's how life is, complicated and good post.)

Is this based on anything specific or just a hunch? No obligation to answer.

I know the much discussed BRFC Privy is almost certainly a club employee but they tend to post only when things are done and the person discussed above departed before BRFC Privy's rise to Twitter prominence (I think!). 

I've heard bits that have originated from her previously (indirectly, I've never spoke to her in my life). 

Definitely nothing to do with that BRFC privy account no.

Please god, no.

[paullarrygher]

Wonder if one of the new Greek strikers at Brighton would be available on loan?

I know we've not gone down the loan route, but we can't afford proper quality at the end of the pitch permanently.

Would take him on a free for a few reasons.

 

Championship experience - lacking that at the moment. 
 

1 in just under 4 for Leeds. That’s about 11 goals extra for us which we will need.

 

Offers something different to Ohashi and Gueye

[Ricceh]

Buckley just scored on his debut. Good for him.

Looks like he’s got his trademark yellow on his debut too

He’s made of glass though, I doubt we’d get more than 20 games out of him. Best to leave alone.

Don’t worry he won’t come, the club pay crap wages that I doubt he’d accept anyway

Fair point.

It will be interesting to see what Ismael says tomorrow. His consistent comments for 2 or 3 weeks were 1 more (a winger) and then replacements for outgoings.

Since then, Baradji has come in (injured) and Travis has gone. Obviously that winger turned out to be Morishita, and Buckley has also gone although he wasnt in the first team picture anyway.

A midfielder based on that logic would potentially fit into what Ismael was saying, although Buckley they might argue was not in the picture and doesnt need replacing, although Travis' replacement is injured. So who knows.

Unless something has changed. We wanted a striker at the start of the summer, so the only explanation would be that the fees for Travis and Buckley have opened something up.

I am not convinced that is certain that we will do more business.

I can see us signing 2 or 3 before the window shuts, it will be interesting to see what Ismael but with the window closing in less than 96 hours we need to be getting them into the UK Saturday/Sunday at the latest to get it all done by Monday.

1 at best i feel.

Certainly can't see 3 coming in.

[London blue]

1 more. Potentially another if they fancy selling Hyam.

Yes indeed. You never felt like it would really happen.

What is interesting to me is that the new narrative is that some of those players were responsible, tired old faces who never quite got it done. There may be truth there but I find it harsh. Those same players (and respective managers) just needed some more backing. It will run and run.

But the new orthodoxy in town has for now taken hold. Only a run of bad results will shift it and even then there will be plenty of voices around to step in and provide excuses. 🙂

 

Sounds like you wouldn’t be too unhappy with “ a run of bad results “ ?  

[BRFC.]

So happy for Bucko! Hopefully he smashes it in Saudi
