    Confirmed Transfers Thread 17/18

    Yes, I'd say so. Leeds fans seem to have it in for him but I don't think his talent/ability is in question. Loves to bomb forward with boundless energy from the times I've seen him, expect he'll prove an upgrade on Stephen Ward ultimately.

    Couple of sources I've read mention a £10m fee, including this one: http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/815338/Liverpool-Joe-Gomez-Brighton-Celtic-Bournemouth-Premier-League-Transfer-News-Gossip#t=30s But who knows where they got that from, and whether Liverpool are actually willing to...

    Fairly sure it'd only be a loan (that what our local journo is reporting), still plenty of time for him to come good for your lot yet I'd say. Think the idea is we'll give him the game time he needs to get his development back on track after the injury troubles. EDIT: ignore me, I've managed...

    Yes please. Been very impressed whenever I've seen him, versatile too. We're on the verge of signing keeper Mat Ryan from Valencia, £5.2m fee agreed. Promising reports from his time at Brugge, didn't sound like he had the best of times at the Mestalla but hopefully a fresh start with us is what...

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/06/02/tammy-abraham-hear-brighton-deciding-next-move/ Looks as though Tammy will have a choice to make between us and Newcastle. Historically if we're ever in a straight battle with divisional rivals for an 'in-demand' player's signature, we invariably...

    POLL - Who would you like to see win the Championship Play offs?

    Ironically I think it's partly Sky's fault for putting such an emphasis on the money at stake (rather than just the glory of playing at the highest level) - if as you say it's causing teams/players to take a more cautious approach then it's hardly helping the broadcasters from an entertainment...

    Welcome to Premier League Huddersfield

    Welcome Hudders. Another club who've been out the top flight for a while that could add something a bit different/new. Also Yorkshire's sole representative in the PL! Nuts.

    POLL - Who would you like to see win the Championship Play offs?

    That one did spring to mind. The final the following summer between Swansea and Reading had a few goals as well. A lot of dull games since, though.

    POLL - Who would you like to see win the Championship Play offs?

    When was the last time we had a goal fest in the Championship play-off final? They almost always seem cagey, low-scoring affairs these days.

    Marco Silva to Watford

    Remember that. Oscar with his heart condition, and Billy McKinlay barely managed a month between them, IIRC? Slav then coming in and doing the business. Must've been unprecedented, that. Anyway, think Silva will prove a decent enough appointment. Always felt he'd suit the set up at Watford...

    Ah right, I'm sure there was another fella called PhilB or something, quite lengthy posts, and if anything spoke too much sense for my liking. I'm keeping my expectations low but just excited to at last be able to have a crack at the top flight and see how we cope with everything it'll...

    A familiar name! Good to see you're still about these parts Skinner - did any of the other Palace lot make the move from the old TFF? Haven't seen much of Roberts in the SPL but he looked a top prospect in his Fulham days and for England u17s (I think it was). He's pretty similar in style to...

    Most overrated/underrated your clubs players of all time

    Ashley Barnes for underrated - even when he scored 20 goals in our L1 title winning campaign he had plenty of detractors. In the same way Sam Baldock is still under-appreciated by a portion of our fans, it tends to be the strikers who put in the graft and create space for a more prolific partner...

    Our first signing of the summer confirmed, German attacking mid Pascal Groß from Ingolstadt: http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/brighton-hove-albion-pascal-gross-fc-ingolstadt-04-3721026.aspx His stats look impressive - has created the most chances of any player in the Bundesliga...

    POLL - Who would you like to see win the Championship Play offs?

    Pretty much word-for-word this. Fulham's a great away day too and we always seem to win there but I find myself leaning towards Wednesday just as it'd shake things up a bit having them back in the top flight.

    Absolutely would take him in an instant. Possibly not as our main striker for next season as I'd imagine the club will be after at least one striker proven at a higher level, but as an option for sure. Seems perfectly logical that Chelsea would want to loan him out to a lower Prem club to see...

    Won't be with us next season anyway by the looks of it! Out of contract and just about everything he tweeted after the game seemed to suggest he's off. To where I'm not sure. Disappointing way to end an incredible season but a smashing weekend in Birmingham nonetheless. Seriously looking...
