Brighton had 23,000 ST holders last season, what are we at? 21,000 ish I think, I can't find an exact figure. I think though that Brighton's prices are slightly cheaper, by about £20 or so.
Brett Pitman signs for them, of course Portsmouth is a massive step up from Ipswich according to the skates, but in reality, 14 goals in 2 seasons suggests League 1 will be his level...
Will probably be a decent signing for them though. I think they got a bit lucky when another club came calling for Cooky and they were able to get in a decent manager. Although Wigan beating them will be funny for the meltdown.
One of the comments "That was me, dad to take a detour en route to West Quay" - Nice of him to spend his (benefits?) money supporting our local economy.
People really need to stop overreacting to meaningless things that irrelevant people mention.
When they are photos of him having a medical at Liverpool etc. etc. then we can have a meltdown.
I'd argue that Frazer Richardson was a better right back than him. Cuco would struggle in the Championship, hence why only League 1 club Blackburn were in for him. He must have some dirt on RK.
Saint-Étienne are a decent side, played in Europe, will be a good test for us.
So that's 3 fixtures confirmed, plus this home game against an unknown Spanish side at the beginning of August.
I think we were obviously searching for a striker, perhaps with the intention of loaning out Gallagher again, but we have obviously decided to give Sam a chance in the first team.
I don't think any club below us has signed players to the point that they are a better side than us.
But yes, it would be nice to bring in a couple of fresh faces.
On an unrelated note, it's Birmingham v Liverpool for the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Come on Birmingham!
There's always January if it's clear that he's not getting chances in the team. Obviously, Gabbiadini and Austin will be ahead but there's no reason why he can't force his way into the team.
