Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread

Ngl has happy as I am with the wins, we really need more bodies. A couple injuries and our squad is looking rough. Hope we can at least get some loans going

But we would be signing him now .
Not 3 years ago

A case could be made that the player is still there and they just need to get time to get back to health. I'm not saying "WHY DIDN'T WE SIGN HIM", I'm saying he's not crap. "Form is temporary, class is permanent", no?

I don’t think it was necessarily Gana going off it was just really bad timing that they conceded right after the subs and Wolves then had complete momentum. That would of happened even with Gana on the pitch

Fer Lopez and Rodrigo Gomes were levels above their other players when they came on - we didn’t cope with them at all

I reckon 2 in on TDD, a CM and a CB (I think Moyes would rather play JOB as RB than keep him as CB cover and sign a specialist RB).

Both either on loan or young/unknown on the very cheap. No more big spending blues this window.

Can we throw away all of next August as well please?

No.

Many players have proven this to be the case. He had form, not class.

Yet you think Dom is class?

Where have I said this? I slated him often last season.

No. Im not sure he was ever top class. And now he is poor.

 

[Marius57]

He literally was "THE NEXT BIG THING" until he got his big injury. He wasn't crap. But he is always injured.

Every young player at Brighton is “the next big thing”. Most get found out once they aren’t in brightons system anymore.

He also isn’t really a RB is he? More a RWB. He has pace and like to take people on but as far as I recall, he was suspect defensively.

Edit. Looked at his stats on fbref. He really should be a RW as his defensive stats are pretty poor in comparison to other fullbacks but he is at the top for progressive carries, goals, assists etc. which would be a disaster for us if we didn’t also sign a proper DM to cover the fullback going forward.

Apologies, I lumped you in with Goat and those lunatics.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

When Gana went we sunk a bit. Need a centre mid please....even if its an expensive loan with option/obligation..

Still baffles me as to why some still can’t see how boss Gana is and how important he is to us.

Clear issue second half was we had zero players on the bench we could use to close out a game. Bringing on Tim trying to protect a lead is a problem, also showed that O'Brien had a mare yet nobody to replace him with either.

Need a RB to at least contest the spot with O'Brien, need a proper defensive midfielder who can make us less wobbly when pressured

If chermiti goes surely another forest as well
