Another disappointment if true, some of our youngsters seem to think they are all that but need to be told it isn't all rosy in the English league just ask Mr D. Wilson, bar �£�£�£�£. They need to be grounded and told to try playing first team football and establishing themselves here before thinking of moving, agents are probably another sour factor. At least Ness and Hutton committed to the cause which I am pleased about would have liked Wylde to do the same.

I would put Hutton out on loan but I still he is a decent enough player, solid etc.

Holiday? Just speculating.

Blackburn done the same with Goodwillie. Asking price was �£2m they bid �£2m plus �£800k in add ons that weren't required. If you have the money and want the player it seems a quick way to make sure you get what you want.

Yeah price the competition out which seems to be us .

I thought Forest had to make cutback so I am surprised they are willing to pay �£2.5m for Verhoek.

Aye,he could just do that,and if he is pissed off with Anderlecht for welching on a verbal agreement then why not?

Worth a shot but his agent is saying he won't be coming to us. Even if he handed in a transfer request it will end up being rejected by Anderlecht so it may be a pointless exercise in some senses but Anderlecht wouldn't want an unhappy player on their books but probably end up selling to someone else, especially when he has a lengthy contract iirc.

Can't he hand in a transfer request or would that just be a pointless exercise?

I thought he was leaving on good terms I guess not.

I do like the canvas art, especially the Jelavic one, shame I can't afford to purchase.

How do you pronounce the Hungarian boys name from Anderlecht? Jew-Has?

I say it as Yoo-Haz/s

I saw on another forum that Juhasz might not use us as a stepping stone. He doesn't really have much time to get into the EPL, would an EPL side pay over what we paid for 29/30 year old? I doubt it unless he is exceptional.

Plus Messi wouldn't work in our side. Controversially I think a certain C.Ronaldo would work better..

I hope it isn't �£4m if true.

Well I remember hearing at the world cup that at least 7 or 8 of the first team squad on the first match were French born.

There is the Shhteeve Mclaren factor.

There's absolutely no way we valued Wallace at �£300k. If it's actually true that we bid that much for him it was probably just a wind-up (to wind-up mad Vlad). Wallace has been valued as a �£1m+ Scottish left back for several seasons.

Why bid then? If we did actually bid at that price. �£1m + for an SPL player in his last year out with us and Celtic is steep, plus he hardly played last season. He has looked not bad when playing for us. I didn't mind him signing as Papac needs some competition.

Juhasz seems to want to come but Anderlecht don't really need to sell, especially with Lukaku cash probably coming in as well.

I thought we would move away from Wallace after mad vlad said �£3m. I agree with Craigy, �£300k isn't much especially with the Wallace deal a prime example of course we negotiated to what we believed matched Hearts supposed price of �£1m, then they move the goalposts to �£3m. Same happened with Dundee Utd, although I am very doubtful if Goodwillie would have been allowed to sign for us.

Who is to say ADO Den Haag will do they same? If we want him I think we should pay the price that they are supposedly asking we have come just short of what they are reportedly wanting �£300k isn't much. Not entirely sure if there is much bargaining with �£300k nowadays in football, maybe a few years back but not now. We went �£1.2m over our first valuation of Wallace. How much over were we going to go with Goodwillie after our first offer? Same could be said for Juhasz but Anerlecht's price has maybe come down a little but nowhere near to our first offer. Obviously I am just feeding off speculation a lot of it could be total BS.

Bids are needed to be made and usually most are test in the waters bids. I don't see why our transfer dealing team don't go out to Holland and meet with their board/chairmen and strike a deal, we used to do that. We did that with Jelavic but that was on and off all the time. Same for a couple of our transfer if there is tight negotiating some other deals didn't need it like Goian and Ortiz.

Respect your opinion

 

I like naismith wide right but wouldnt play him automatically.

 

Miller just scored in 92nd min for Cardiff to win at West Ham...wanker!!

Miller was awful as well.

I have issues with loans, ok 1 or 2 can be very beneficial but if you have nearer 4 or 5 then we aren't building a team, cause we will just lose the player unless we have a clause where we can buy the player at the end of the season but if we are getting them from the EPL we won't.

I only hope that some of the other targets we have come in otherwise we will end up with people playing out of position all over the place.

 

A left sided midfielder who can also play centrally.

 

On the left side of midfield we already have Wylde as well as Ortiz & Wallace being able to do a job there (and Papac seemingly if last week is anything to go by).

 

In CM we already have Davis, McCulloch, Edu - and then we also have Ness and Hutton too.

 

We have more pressing issues elsewhere - that said, we could be doing with a left sided midfielder to allow Ortiz to move to the other side. But if we are looking at Verhoek then we will have this guy, Verhoek, Oriz & Wylde - I guess it would make for good competition for places in the wide midfield berths.

 

We BADLY need a couple of CB's and a striker though.

We also have Bedoya, coming in. We need to either loan out a few of our youngsters or sell some established players. We are also after Murray Davidson which would put our own youngsters further down. I am really not sure we are adding any quality to the mix just seems like squad fillers in probably the most influential positions on the park. We lack flair bar Davis but I wouldn't really say he is too much of a flair player. We also lack a player who can take a decent set piece although Wallace is reasonable as is Davis but they aren't fantastic.

I agree we do need at least another CB, plus with what I seem to think is a lack of use of Healy, Beattie and Hemmings and the reported bids for Goodwillie we need another striker badly.

Never heard of him, not sure is it a free?

Lukaku would be a good start .

I know this is slightly off topic , but my mates who are Brighton fans , have been inside the new ground since noon , drinking , the bars are kept open till 7.30 when the leeds game finishes (they are all watching on the tv monitors ) , there is a band on every home game to entertain those that want to stay behind, talk about looking after the fans

Saw Brighton's new ground looks nice. They are very welcoming to the away fans, on Football focus they bring in the away teams home brewed beer.

I'm not sure we need Goian, Juhasz, Cuellar, Bartley and Weir although it would be nice. We need at least one more striker imo, Verhoek would be good to have also.

We will end up having another position for one or two players.

Wonder whether we will still pursue Juhasz now ...

I hope so, especially if Bougherra goes, still totally unsure about Cuellar even though I know its a waiting game.

I'm fine with a loan just don't want another Charlie Adam situation, it could do Fleck the world of good especially if he gets a good amount of game time.
