2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

The Donk has been here five minutes and we're talking about a replacement for him 

Most pointless signing we've ever made?

Wayne Routledge says no.

DAFUQ? He played for us? That's completely bypassed me.

The Donk helped us hammer Brentford 4-0. More than Bosko Balaban or his Dad, Bob, ever managed.

I want us to do whatever Brighton are doing. Signing some brilliant players, many not well known and having them perform at a high level before selling them for a massive profit. We may want to hang on to one or two given our long term objectives but buying ready-made players at exorbitant prices isn’t sustainable.

Agreed

Urgh, Danny Drinkwater

Urgh, Danny Drinkwater

I'll see your Danny Drinkwater and raise you Habib Beye, 9 apps in 4 years

[Percy McCarthy]

The other thing with Brighton is that their fans are a massive bunch of twats.

Might not be relevant to the conversation but it needs to be said.

Bunch of massive twats I’d say, not a massive bunch.

Very good Percy.

Two whole games in 2008. Weirdly, given my sporadic attendance this millennium, I saw him on his debut.

I actually saw him score, at Bescot in a preseason friendly.

Wasnt it Brighton for whom, when they were on the verge of bankruptcy, there was some coordinated event with other clubs fans involving wearing shirts or something?

[pauliewalnuts]

Have I just entirely invented that ^^^^ or did it happen?

£40k a week too for Beye

[Dante Lavelli]

Just seen James Justin linked with Roma. Isn’t he equally adept - and to a decent standard - in both fullback positions?

Could be a good 2 for 1 signing if the price was right.

I have tried googling relevant terms and found nowt. Not something I remember but my memory is shite.

I think you are thinking of the Fans United day -

There were Villa fans there.
