Gus still waiting on his top targets
5:00pm Wednesday 6th June 2012 in Albion By Brian Owen
Happy: Poyet
Gus Poyet today insisted his top transfer targets are still up for grabs.
But he is not going to rush into a signing just to keep fans happy.
Poyet is keeping a close eye on the summer market as he enjoys time back home in Uruguay.
He accepts fans will be getting impatient for new arrivals but said: “We are on the way. We need to think things over.
“There are so many things. It’s difficult to explain why signings happen and don’t happen.
“You look at the things that are better for you, that are on the table, the quality ones, and then the one time they are available you really need to go for them.
“Then if you lose out on your No.1 target, there is a No.2 target.
“I’m talking about the No.1 targets in our situation, within our budget, in our league. They are still there.
“But I’m not going to sign anyone just for the sake of signing.”
Poyet’s priorities include a return for Spanish playmaker Vicente plus quality around him and he is keen to add physical power to his side.
Danny Swanson, the talented but tiny attacking midfielder linked with the Seagulls, looks set to join Peterborough on a two-year deal.
