They don't want another goalkeeper on the books without getting rid of one. We have a budget and have most likely identified our targets and will know how much of our budget is needed for each deal maybe the wage budget after priority signings are made wouldn't allow another goalkeepers wage on the books without a Pears wages taken off Another goalkeeper would leave me rest a little easier if Kaminski got injured but the majority of the budget should be going on a number 9 and a centre midfielder that are a step up to what we already have at the club although not been much talk of a centre mid unfortunately anything else would be a bonus.

Damien Johnson isn't English

Nothing stopping Porteous signing a pre contract with Watford or Udinese if he has agreed terms with either. Practically forcing Hibs hand to accept whatever bid his chosen team has offered.Players agent is probably still talking to all interested parties at this stage rather than Porteous had decide to sign for someone

Bowler could only join Blackpool on loan as he had already appeared for them and in Greece.Couldnt play for another club

Waiting to do your business is ok once you get the required quality but the longer it drags on of course supporters are right to worry we will end up with another Hirst and Mola

Van Hecke just had his first start for Brighton in the premier league be odd if they let him out on loan now How many centre halves do Boro need

True and im certainly not proclaiming Broughton as the second coming and like you was underwhelmed with the buisness done in the summer but just taking a little issue with the likes of Mercer saying he isn't up to the job when he hasn't been in the job long enough to decide either way imo.

And if other clubs are offering more money? Cash is king.It could be Lionel Messi or Zidane as our DOF but if other clubs are offering more money to our targets than Broughton is permitted then what exactly is he supposed to do? Let's see where we are at the end of the window

It's disappointing no signings have been brought in but a bid accepted for Porteous and the financial package with Brighton agreed for Undav. Will it be Broughton's fault if Porteous decides to join Udinese or Watford and Undav decides to go back to Belgium?

If Brighton are keeping Undav around to play some part in the FA Cup at the weekend then probably be waiting until after that to see what is happening with him. I hope we see some urgency and bodies through the door this week and the fact no league game this week and looking like the loan market we leave it all until deadline day

Be daft if he goes there he won't play ahead of Dike. A few fans saying it doesn't make it true

So you would accept JDT is doing a similar/better job than Mowbray with less resources?

Bournemouth had a £10 million bid rejected for him

Yeah.my post was meant to read Undav on the bench.

Van Hecke starts for Brighton No Undav on the bench

Britt Assombalonga in talks with us

Kaminski is not a better goalkeeper than Raya. One plays in the premier league and has Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs chasing him aswell as being in the Spanish squad , the other recently signed a new contract with us a Championship club and Is 4th or 5th choice for Belgium

It's the owners who insist their valuation is met for Brererton.So again how is that Broughton's fault? And funny how you mention new deals for Travis and Buckley but no mention of Phillips or A.Wharton or Jake Batty. Weren't you blasting the club in the summer for letting a generational talent in Ash Phillips leave for Spurs?

Fingers crossed. I'm sure their new manager will want to use some of the Trossard money to bring in a couple of players familiar to him aswell.

Trossard is a midfielder,him leaving Brighton shouldn't impact their plans for Undav. Ferguson has jumped ahead of him as a striker option

Udinese have supposedly bid for him aswell

2 of those clubs are in league one the other 2 are in a relagation battle

I agree the amount of players we have let run their contracts down is ridiculous but how do you know funds won't be provided to replace Brererton in the summer? We didn't sell anyone to bring him here in the first place.Cash was found to replace Lenihen with Hyam and altho 2 different players money was spent on Szmodic to replace Rothwell.

Well we did have the biggest net spend in the championship in the summer window. Also we are not the only club to use the loan market ,a quick glance at all championship clubs and most currently have more loan players than ourselves . Before I get a post from some saying I'm defending the owners, I'm not I'm in agreement they are shit owners and need them gone asap but for balance we did have the biggest net spend and nearly every single club in the division has more players on loan than we do.

It might not even be our choice. If you were Brererton would you move with 6 months left on your deal when you can choose the offer that suits you best? Even in the summer he didn't appear that fussed over us not accepting the bids.
