On my laptop the color of the gloves are gray but on my desktop they are brown. I guess the colour of the gloves could be different for everyone.

I don't know s**t but maybe someone can dig an answer from this.

I'd be very surprised if we left it until then for another Goalkeeper, I assume that GK is all we are in for now.

I was certain that the Championship Manager clue was Matheus Fernandes haha.

Could see it happening if we go a goal down against a side like Everton, Leicester under Cooper or Forest, so I tend to agree with that sentiment somewhat but I still feel teams will try to give us the burnley treatment for the most part rather than sit back completely especially as fans don't enjoy watching their team sit back.

Apparently both Lesley and the Fernandes guy are good at putting through balls in behind the defence, I'd say that our strategy involves avoiding any sort of congestion in the box based on the profile of forwards we've signed, so a lot of goals like the one that Adam Armstrong got against Leeds in the playoff finals are to be expected when we do score. Basically we are hedging our bets on the possibility that opposing teams are not going to play a low block against a promoted side so we either get the jump on them or cause an overload on the edge of the box if the opponent's defensive line has to rush back.

NGL Watching that game I'd be pretty confident we could beat Tottenham at home as long as we get our ball playing keeper (Steele?). They'll press high but if we could handle the Newcastle Press when they had 11 players we can beat Tottenham's press. From there we get our forwards running in behind on Romero's side as he's quite a bit slower than Van De Ven and we'll have plenty of clear cut chances to put away.

Petrovic won't be on that high a wage, not sure on Arrizabalaga. A reason they haven't fallen foul of FFP is in part due to having much smaller wages for their players.

Nuno played 4-2-3-1 last week which is a formation we tend to have great performances against (i.e. Leeds), the difficulty will be how far does he push up his defensive and midfield lines, the further up the better for us.

I'd imagine that Sheffield played a lot more direct than us which necessitate the need for either Archer or another number 9 to have good holdup play.

From the chit chat on the main thread this one even stumped their sources. I couldn't think of anything that linked to him in the posts, then again I'm not the greatest at these.

JFC, the last thing I had on my "transfer window bingo card" was a bidding war for Sekou Mara, but I'll take it.

Wait a minute, Pierce -> Archer now that makes sense.

Based on what i've heard of Fabian Hurzeler the chances of the football being less exciting are pretty slim, it'll be also nerve-wracking for both fans.

I thought the fact that the K-League was added in an update to the game might be a clue, fictional players though that's a revelation. Maybe its a cryptic warning to be careful of the transfer noise but it can also mean a player who is so good it can't even be real. The game also added the EU Transfer Regulation System and Attribute Masking which is related to the game mechanic known as "Fog of War", not sure if either points to a clue.

No he was there as number 32.

He's scored very little where he has gone, 4 from 18 last season in the Scottish league does not make for great reading.

I have no idea about Sem Steijn, but I'd be surprised if the club didn't have him on the "interested in" list considering that we scouted Sugawara from the same league and with his contract situation. I wouldn't mind us trying to get Petrovic or Kelleher on a loan with an option to buy next summer given their situations. Ings would demand too high a wage. Ward-Prowse might be a possible option if he desires to play rather than sit on the bench.

Someone on the Brighton Forum pointed out that Brighton's position financially thanks to Chelsea has put them in a place where they can spend way more than anyone else right now and Bloom is exploiting the opportunity to the fullest as apparently new PSR rules coming are even stricter than the ones we have currently. It could offer a possible explanation as to why Brighton are upping the ante so much this window. If we build smartly from now even if it means taking one more yo-yo we could find ourselves in a position like that within a few years.

Brighton spending 40 m on Rutter doesn't feel like something Brighton or Tony Bloom would do. It feels way too risky for their standards, if it was 25-30m then that would feel more normal. Edit: Now dropping 40 m on Kadioglu are they just tossing their usual model to the wayside?

I did an oopsy and forgot to send the reply and then deleted it and reposted it, apologies there. I see your point about quality possibly being not attainable with our budget situation, but is he a big enough improvement on our current midfield so much so that it would be worth paying 15m? Is he better than Sem Steijn who scored 17 goals in the Eredivisie last season and may be obtainable for around 10m euros? He's another player we should be taking a serious look at.

I've mentioned this before but Brownhill struggled a lot when the premier league opposition pressed him even though he had Berge alongside him. Jacob Horsfall a Burnley fan did a good analysis on his shortcomings under Vincent Kompany's system. With a 3 man central midfield maybe he might not get as exposed to the press as much but at best he would only be a maybe from me.

I saw that on an earlier post when I was browsing for a resource I dropped around page 160. Have not seen his name come up on twitter or google news, maybe its one of those local newspaper exclusives which means I'd have no chance of coming across it.

Wilson Odobert or Georginio Rutter have to be up there.

Ah fair enough, I think got a little too much into it as a video game enjoyer. Back on topic, I did take a look at how the word "lightning" is pronounced in other languages and what I found was very interesting. One of the translations names a player directly.
