    I actually didn't clock that it's only 2 weeks until the season starts. We've got a huge amount to do in that time and hopefully Storrie's comments about needing 2 more to be competitive aren't actually a reflection of the business we're going to do before Orient.  
    Season starts in 2 weeks but the window is open until 1st September.  Not ideal getting new players in after the start but it looks like it may well be...
    Why waste the opportunity to pick up points early though? I'm sure we'll get more than 2 by September but it is disappointing given that the change of ownership hasn't actually prevented us from signing players. 
    The change of ownership hasn’t completed yet, if they intend to pay fees I can’t see that happening until it’s 100% done.
    Peter Storrie has just said that the takeover hasn't hindered transfers & there is money to cover signings & wages for June & July. 

    Next excuse. 


    We've been chasing Championship quality players. Unfortunately we missed out because they have signed for Championship clubs.

    Chris Francis has landed at palace according to Fabrizio on twitter, very bizarre he’s gone from a trial with us to a ‘mid table’ prem team.

    Previously on the books at Bournemouth so he might not be wanting to step all the way back to League One even if he doesn't end up back in the Prem.

    He/his agent is probably aiming a bit higher right now (rightly or wrongly) and his trial here was more just a chance to get a run out.

    Clearly we were a step too far for him, and he decided to start from a lesser position and work his way up...🙄

    He also went to Portugal with Sheff U. Perhaps we can get him on loan?

    You'd like to think, like those clubs who get to play-offs about what division they'll be in, we have lists of targets pre and post takeover.

    Perhaps he enjoyed playing at park view road so much for us the other week that he decided selhurst was the most comparable home for him for the coming season.

    I wonder if we will aim for Francis on loan? He could LCB. We know how we like to collect injuries etc.

    His agent doing a v.good job tbh. The bloke is nearly 21 and has 6 appearances in non-league to his name according to Google.

    Anyone remember from his game with us if he even looked anywhere near league 1 level?

    Impossible to tell as it was against Welling. Given his age I expect Palace will loan him out, it’ll be interesting to see if he does and where he ends up. Hopefully we’ve not made a mistake.

    Doubt we had much chance anyway if Sheff Utd and Palace were also interested. Holden said at the time he had other interest, maybe we did try and sign him

    I’m surprised that we’re not getting more names thrown about. It seems to have gone very very quiet.

    We don't need more names thrown about, we need bodies through the door.  :smile:

    What we don’t need is bodies in the trunk in the left luggage office at Brighton station.

    I’m sure things are happening behind the scenes but we are two weeks away from the opening game and a long, long way from having a top six squad. Some will say that the window doesn’t close till 1st September but before then there are a lot of points to be played for and we need to hit the ground running and don’t want to be playing catch up. There is also the danger that late signings for one reason or another won’t have had a full pre season and will themselves be a further couple of weeks from contention. There is an urgent need NOW for a LWB and another striker of note. Today would be nice 😀

    Isn’t a credible third goalkeeper the current priority?

    ...Third goalkeeper is almost a luxury,.. LWB & Striker far more important
