The season starts on 14th August. I would hope we’ve done most, if not all, of our business by then. I can’t believe anyone would have expected anything to have happened by today some 59 days before the season starts. Amazed you’ve even linked those comments. And I’m the one with the grip. 173 deal...

Never heard of this chap. but it would be typical of Brighton to sign a forward who struggles to score, and there's been many who've impressed in the Bundesliga and struggled to make the transition to the PL, this looks a lot compared to say Ollie Watkins who went for only a slight amount more last...

It does beg the question about what the fitness team are doing, though. We played 38 league games plus a few half-hearted cup games last season, so if the players were spent, then perhaps their fitness needs improving. Coyle's team played 61 games in 2008-09, and I think 10 of the players played in...

A lot of the interesting free agents have already gone. We still seem to be under the bizarre impression that we can only do our business when the transfer window is open. Other clubs are well aware that they can talk to players and put deals in place prior to the window opening. They just have to w...

That would be amazing. The club not having your enthusiasm has really held them back recently. Maybe your sarcasm was sustaining it. Last season was a painful watch. If you don't think our poor recruitment held us back last season we must have been watching different teams. The gaffer had little to...

I think the article is just paraphrasing what we have already heard from other sources. Namely, that the Gaffer has agreed a deal in principle, but nothing has been signed. Thanks to our abysmal recruitment performance in recent seasons we have a mountainous challenge ahead of us. Having a poor tran...

Can they take all my properties D-A?. If this is a genuine question, looking for a genuine reply, the answer is no they can't. In the event that the club goes bankrupt your shares would be worthless Bfc, but your personal assets would be perfectly safe. Owning shares would not result in you having ...

I find it hard to believe that nobody saw this coming when the details of the takeover were announced. Prior to the takeover I estimated that we had 30-40m in the dry powder store. I still think that was very near the mark. Covid probably cost us 5-10m, but we gained back some money because we lost ...

A huge part of our transfer problems are Dyche. Get yourself into Twitter and see that quite a lot of people agree with this view. Nonsense. The Gaffer has had very little to do with our transfer business in the last four windows. He advocated for new contracts to be given to players and he was ign...

Agreed, and no longer being able to buy Arctic Roll is up there - if it is true.

We’re loaning youth players now? Wtf? Look on the bright side, we just dodged the signing of a left footed player whose best position was arguably as a free role attacking midfielder.
