ffs, no of course it's not. I forgot you need to have a squad that costs more than £3m to get out of this league. The squad is fine. Stop over reacting

sounds like we're all over the place at the back. not good signs so far.

what a cock up 1-0 tranmere

I think what ever happens he'll stay to the end of this season. I'm sure any prospective clubs will see it as the best option for him too, a chance to win lots of games, score goals and get a winners medal before joining a big club. He wouldn't benefit from moving in January as he's not really achieved anything yet - and he'd be a fool with rubbish advisor's if he does.

He will leave in the summer i'm sure of that, so it wouldn't surprise me if a deal is already agreed for then. Enjoy him whist he's here!

great cover though at this level. 4 CM Options in L1 of Hammond, Chaplow, Morgan and Hughes is bloody strong

Recent weeks have seen Lambert start to return to the figure we remember so fondly from last year. I predict he'll have a storming 2nd half of the season now he's over his fitness and injury problems. As Ivan says above, all strikers have patches similar to Lambo. Drogba/Torres/Rooney are good examples of good players suffering due to injury/confidence/fitness etc. But as they say, class is permanent and he's still a very very good player at this level and more than capable of playing a level up.

As others have said, whatever level you're at you gain as many advantages as you can. If the oppo don't know about our team and we can suprise them, then good plan. It's not about us not being good enough either, it's just being clever and doing anything possible to get the win. Not sure what the issue is with this tbh. It's not like as fans we really need to know the team until it's on the pitch, if Adkins knows it and he's training them well then there is nothing to worry about.

Nope, he cancelled it. The taxi went to pickup rory instead.

I think he's a class player and a top signing, slow start as you'd expect from a player not used to the english game but he's slowly developing into one of our key men. His movement and touch at times is of a higher level. I reckon he could even do a job for a prem. team in the right environment.

Reading some stories today, it sounds like their board are considering funding a full on assault to get promotion this year. So what you say is very true.

If true Dalek, I'd be happy with that. Martin is a very good player and has already scored goals in the champ. too.

Wow - you must work in my office! Totally agree with all that.

Doubt it. Nothing on the brighton forums and that board is full of ''ITK'' wannabes. He will not stay in this league, if he moves it will be for the champ. or above.

It's just woken up into a proper cup tie. Arsenal went 2-0 up, and Leeds have just pulled one back with a total screamer through bradley johnson. This game is going to be pretty interesting now...

it was in one of his recent pree match or post match press conf's. he def. mentioned about us looking to bring in 2 faces.

Not many deals have happend tbf. The Bent deal may possibly cause a ripple effect though. Oxo is still here for a start and if you believed everything you read he'd have already played for Man U, Man City, Arsenal and he's making his debut for Fulham at the weekend. The last week of the window will be interesting. Adkins has stated that we will see ''at least'' 2 more faces in the building and no one is leacing, as he puts it, before the close of the window.

anyone worried we haven't heard anything yet? If it was good news they'd surley shout it from the rooftops as soon as they could.

Mk 1 - 3 Plymouth game over there, good result for us.

Sunderland should be laughing to the bank. Good player, but they have Gyan who I rate higher than bent - and their partnership never really ''clicked'' so it's a good opportunity for Bruce to go out and buy someone who can compliment and play alongside Gyan. They're in a great position to attract someone half decent too...I think they could do well out of this move.

Not having a dig at you personally, but that is the most far fetched thing I have ever heard in my life. Offers are sent in via fax usually, or by some form of electronic copy. How would the driver know what's in the letter though before he's even collected it...?

wow, firesale at Swindon. Morrison is a very good CB. They were talking themselves up massivly at the start of the season. They could be in trouble when Austin goes.

Nope you're right, just the normal rubbish. Jumbled up quotes to make a story. they did the same with Guly and Lallana last week, making it sound as if we'd signed Guly...

I know i'll get all sorts of moans and groans for this, but Jermaine Wright in our playoff season would get into my top 5.
