May would be earliest you’d see Rodders.
Idiocy if we see him this season. You want recurring injuries, rushing players back is how you get them. See our CB crisis this year.

Yea I've made peace with the fact that unless the Luiz situation changes as in straight loan, then no midfielder is coming. Think it's a big risk short term, and CL qualification will be a really big fight. That said that's better than buying the wrong player and being stuck with more deadwood like Philips and Nunes. Time to back the lads we do have and see where it takes us between now and June.The club knows much better than anybody on here what we need
The simple facts are that it is not easy to sign a player that the selling club either need or over value by some margin, especially mid season
I would guess that if Douglas Luis was available on a straight loan, he would be here already.
No point in buying someone that they have doubts or don’t see as a future player in this window
We may have to accept that this is a transition season. If we manage to qualify for the CL , than that would be a good transition season for me
I'd forgotten about Mac Allister who'd get in the side now, but I don't agree that he was as good as peak Gundo or Bernardo and he isn't a patch on Rodri or peak KDB.Mac Allister would absolutely have been getting in our team and is far better than anything we have at the moment off the ball. Mitoma could be argued.
Bit disingenuous to argue that no one from Brighton's squad in the last five years wouldn't get in the Treble side. We were pretty rubbish Dec-Jan of that season, but on the run in and champions league knockouts the 11s were world class. Except for say, Grealish who was doing a specific job, which you could then argue you don't really know how a player, world class or otherwise, will play in a Pep team until they do.
Fixed ;-)Our only hope is Luiz becomes available ON LOAN WITH NO OBLIGATION TO BUY, as Juve see there’s no permanent takers by Monday night.
Why would it?that implies that you do does it not?
Fixed ;-)
I think we’ll definitely see him coming off the bench in May. He will be wanting to be fit for the Club World Cup.May would be earliest you’d see Rodders.
Exactly, mate. Saved me the bother of typing said reply, lol.I think we’ll definitely see him coming off the bench in May. He will be wanting to be fit for the Club World Cup.
The nearer it gets to Monday with zero rumours the more I expect it’ll be Luiz on loan.Monday is gonna be hilarious.
I dont think they'll get anything over the line, so im prepared for nothing already.The nearer it gets to Monday with zero rumours the more I expect it’ll be Luiz on loan.
Yeah he does seem the fallback option. No idea who he's a fallback for thoughThe nearer it gets to Monday with zero rumours the more I expect it’ll be Luiz on loan.

Depends how desperate Juve may be to get him off the books for a bitI’d be satisfied with that but doesn’t sound like we’ll accept an obligation to buy in the summer.
Im not adverse to this as some, assuming we let Gundo go in summer and have Luiz for that spot.I’d be satisfied with that but doesn’t sound like we’ll accept an obligation to buy in the summer.
I think people are generally rather sanguine after the last two results, but if Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Chelsea all win over the weekend and we lose at Arsenal, for want of a defensive midfielder, we'll be down to 6th and the blood will be boiling on here again.Monday is gonna be hilarious.
Apparently Gundo is only 5 appearances away from an automatic one year extensionIm not adverse to this as some, assuming we let Gundo go in summer and have Luiz for that spot.
If nothing gets leaked today then we are done and then its batten down the hatches for the rest of the season!
