    Brighton were hoping to sell Dale Stephens to Burnley and replace him with Cousins ....
    Source Brighton season ticket holder who moves around the right circles on match days

    Have Brighton played many matches since end of last season?

    I would offer a contract to aneke and baxter as they both have high potential, baxter may have some issues but maybe slade could manage him right?

    At least 9 on the first page have been with us at some point....couldn't be bothered to trawl though the other pages.

    Out of that list, and I know his 34, but Matt Taylor could be a good signing.

    Matt Taylor agreed would be good even @ 34 quality
  • Am I the only one that thinks some of those ages seem wrong? Players seem much older than ages stated.

    ALF would be a great signing, him, Novak, Ajose and one of Lookman or Watt (won't keep both, I'd prefer to keep Lookman but he's a bigger saleable asset)

    Still think we need another 2 centre backs if Tex leaves (1 if he doesn't) cover for right back, a creative midfielder and a left winger (again only if Ceballos and Lookman leave)

    Hoping we'll have 4 or 5 trialists today, who can forget some of the names from a few years ago, like Jacobo Ovejero, Sam Williams, Michal Smejkal, Bauza and Esajas

    I heard a rumour that dignitas are having a sale, can we have a whip-round and transfer Colin ?. Getting bored of this place being 1 mans bullshit show and trawling through it for actual news.

    1st post of the day and he gets a mention lol

    I made the mistake of reading the last 7 pages of 'rumours', probably just easier to avoid this thread all together

    Would make sense but under this ownership? We'll probably keep one of Watt or Lookman and one of the u21s will be our 4th choice striker.

    Do we need him now that we have Ajose?

    Be brilliant if we managed to keep Watt and Lookman and did bring in ALF. Lookman played a lot out wide and with League One centre backs, Slade maybe tempted to keep him wide to save him getting kicked and bullied every game.

    Ajose, Novak, Le Fondre, Watt and Lookman, added to Holmes and Harriott, would be very attacking and should get plenty of goals in League One.

    But that's probably unlikely but on paper right now would look exciting.

    ALF would be a great signing but very unlikely, there'll be a number of mid-table Championship teams after him.

    Including Wolves who he was with last season or Reading and Rotherham who he has had spells with in the past.

    I hate sticking pacey strikers out wide, as it rarely works. Wide players need to be able to cross the ball and create chances for other players, whereas pacey strikers need to play through the middle of the shoulder of the centre backs

    Jamie Vardy is a typical example, you either play him through the middle or not at all

    I agree mate, I wasn't saying that's what I would do but just going not on past teams and positions that Lookman has played. Slade may deploy the same tactic. He has the technical ability to play out wide, but to play through the middle is where we should see the best of Lookman.

    Agreed...........this Colin 'lark' just ain't funny and it is boring now, why doesn't everyone just let him say/post what he likes?
    If it's a load of bollocks......it doesn't really matter does it?..........and if it's true, he won't get any credit!
    In other words.......starve him!
    Happy days.......

    stop going on about him then</blockquote
    Cheeky git!..................................its the first time I've commented on poor old Col!!!

    Crofts a very good player and impressed with Pike, Buxton was ok but as a right back I go with Pike and Sunupe was not good enough
    And there we have it.....

    After only one viewing you have decided that, give them a chance first.

    Diarra has a hairline fracture according to Slade via SLP. No idea which bone.

    I blame Erroll Umet

    Good old Diarra he loves the treatment room. He may clock up 50 appearances if he stays for another 3 seasons.
