I think we will be ok if we don't have a repeat of last season's injury situation.

A replacement for Cabaye is needed and will hopefully be addressed even in the loan market.

And I think there are at least three teams worse than us.

I guess ultimately my frustrations are hearing Roy say that we need quality additions to the squad, we sign players that didn't get close to competing for a place and another ( Sorloth ) that currently doesn't look up to it. That's compounded by Parish saying that we need to do our transfer business early this time. Perhaps we did - but it was all outwards.

First time caller - long time listener. The idea that Parish should go because of transfer difficulties is delusional.

Agents are becoming increasingly important to the way clubs operate - perhaps we should list which agents do business with which clubs. Parish might have made some enemies in that department. But they (agents) don't yet get to decide which chairmen remain in office.

Long and the short of it - the game always looks easier from the stands.

I wonder how many Swansea, Stoke and West Brom supporters said that last summer?

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

The reason we had an injury situation is because we were relying on the same eleven week in week out. Plus roy doesnt like to tinker.

If this window is anything to go by we are losing depth not adding it so more of the same is likely.

It's laughable when a newly promoted team like Fulham can sign Seri and we still have our thumbs up our arse.
It's the same old crap every season.
Expect us to miss out on last minute signings as usual and then blame everything except ourselves.
I'm always happy to be wrong on this but it's hard not to be cynical.

all newly promoted clubs tend to splash the cash we did,
yes understand about us leaving it late to buy, but we have spent millions over the last 5 seasons so it at to slow down sometime,
we will be alright and get a couple of signings and loans before the window closes,at least we are now being linked with players, all we have had was the Zaha affair in the news
