    It's right that questions are now seriously asked. Cause if this is Plan A so far of the window, it's a horror show. Worse than the last 2 windows for sure.

    They, the powers that be are out of answers, almost outta time to sort this. And if they don't, and I see no signs they will turn this round, need * hounded.

    Brighton are well run though.. when you look at 'bigger' clubs in the league and yoyo teams of comparative size..

    We should be looking at how they maximise their potential and learn from them.

    They are well run but the money they have at their disposal enables them to spend £8m on a player, Sima being an example, and if it goes a bit * up it is pretty much ok.

    He'll no doubt go at the very end of the window, so the board can say they had no time to find a replacement. I wish I was even kidding. I detest the cretins hamstringing us.

    Dom Mckay suggested doing so and was punted pretty sharpish.

    I don't want Sima or Buonanotte, I want a LB and some money for Matt.

    It’s become so obvious I think why McKay was moved out the door as soon as possible.

    Wanted to “modernise the football club, take it forward” and lasted weeks. Strange as *.

    Aye it was clearly far too outwith the comfort zone of the dinosaurs that run us.

    Can’t remember who said it on here but we must be the only club in the Champions League who don’t have a Sporting Director or Director of Football.

    We will be the only club with only one senior striker and left back currently as well.

    30 million or he stays with us until at least January, another chance for him to show what he can do in the champions league

    Here's a mad idea: £30 million plus an agreement to loan him back to us for 6 months. Is that completely crazy?

    Unfortunately for us that is crazy mate, I don't think even big spending teams like those from the EPL would spend £30M then loan that player back. If you spend £30m you are doing it to see a return on that investment

    Going to leave a massive hole in the team when he goes. He was central to everything on Sunday and with it being so close to the end of the window it will be near impossible to replace him unless it’s a loan.

    Lot of reports this morning that they're readying a bit of £25m+.

    Can't see us rejecting anything like that.

    It's a shame this has come right out the blue and no one could possibly have known he might be leaving this Summer, so absolutely no time to scout anyone...

    I seen they’re prepared to break the Scottish transfer record so I reckon once it’s over that fee he will be sold. If it’s gonna get done it needs to be before the weekend so we can try get a replacement in on top of the other positions we need players for
