    Gus is correct, while we would like to have all our transfer business done by 30/06, this is very hard to achieve and we must not be drawn into panic signings. We Brighton fans are extremely knowledgeable and we are certainly very very patient and we a fully aware the process of signing the correct player, our first or second choice will take time, it is no problem for us. I have absolute confidence in GP, Chairman Bloom and the board to get the right people in.
    Precisely!
    Seconded !
    Poyet is still in Uruguay on holiday and whilst deals might be 'agreed' in his absence I imagine they will only be finalised once he returns.
    I have heard that the club has sold over 21,000 season tickets. A report on the club website confirms that more than 3,000 NEW season tickets have already been sold. The final one thousand season tickets go on general sale next week.
    The club reports that BHA are ranked 10th in terms of season ticket sales out of all clubs in both the Premiership and the Football League - quite an achievement. Well done the Seagulls fans ! Definately a story worth reporting."

Gus still waiting on his top targets

Happy: Poyet 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.
