Added to which there are inflated prices & unrealistic wage demands so it always seem to go to the last knockings in case a better offer comes up.

Deadline day will be interesting this year as there are 7 EPL fixtures that evening. A few empty seats in the Directors Box or even the dug outs?

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Is anyone checking that these players are actually injured? There seems to be so many that I'm starting to wonder whether it's a benefit fraud thing.

I did mention this on last night Preview Podcast on Holradio (link below) that we do appear to be operating a scattergun approach in this window. BFS has said himself that we have bids for between 8-20 out there.

That's probably because, in light of 2016, our current league position and our trajectory, we aren't a very attractive prospect. It was always going to be a struggle, made worse by the problems of the January window, that are already well-documented.

Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing!

And to think in the January we stayed up the first season, we managed to sign: Ledley, Dann, Hennessey, made Puncheon permanent and Tom Ince.

In such an overpriced market, it's disappointing that we can't identify options like those in the Championship or abroad. Instead we still only seem to be in for very expensive PL players. Granted that in the Championship for every Antonio you get a Bamford or Ince but it's the clubs and scouts who know their stuff that get those special few.

All good points Dave, my only concern is that we turn into the QPR of a few seasons ago and buy them all and they all turn out to be s***e.
They went onto financially ruin that club.
