Poyet keen to see what Bridge has to offer (From The Argus)

I do hope Bridge gets fit enough to play soon, rather an expensive luxury if he is sitting on the sidelines. Our Medical team should be able to get him fit if anybody can, witness Vicente.
No mention of any imminent signings, looks as if things are proving more 'complicated' than anticipated.
I still feel we really need that midfield powerhouse and to a lesser extent another striker gtiven Hoskins initial form.

And the new signing that we are all waiting for is??????????????

I`m sure we are all keen to see what Wayne has to offer. He has`nt had a lot of practice with the lads but,he`s a top pro so should`nt take too long to fit right in.My biggest concern would be Kaz,imho well under used and we Will need him,i love to watch classy wingers,and (to the lads who remember Dave socks rolled down Thomas QPR) he reminds me of him.But we will have to see if WB makes his debut,i`m sure we won`t be dissapointed.P2BAS

I saw an amusing one-liner on the Transfer Rumours website yesterday suggesting that the special signing we are all waiting for was
'Shergar ridden by Lord Lucan'.(sadly author unknown).
At least whilst we wait on further signings we are in a slightly better position than our fellow Sussex club fans who are reading about various candidates turning down the Crawley Manager's position. I hope Coppell resolves that situation quickly. It's good having two Sussex teams in the Football league.

Its hard to have respect for a team that we have loaned players to in darker days,including Michel Kuipers.That then sing at home games "we are the Brighton haters) Man you have no idea how hard that was to write.Anyone who has a different opinion is fine,but dont bite the hand that is helping you!

I have heard that the signing that was reported to be very close earlier in the week (andrew crofts from Norwich) has fallen through so no new signings are imminent.

With regard to Wayne Bridge there appear to be eary similarities to the Vicente situation when he first arrived but our medical staff now are, IMHO, superior to those in place at that time. For GP to now ask what WB can contribute is almost incredulous. Are we to believe that GP doesn't really know...? ...that we took him on loan simply for the bragging rights...? That is just too weird. The ongoing silence around new incomers is equally disturbing as the settling-in time is becoming increasingly short. Hopefully Will Hoskins and Toby Agdestein will step up to the mark for the strikers and... and fingers remain firmly crossed.

Like you Tony the tiger, not surprised at all which is why I thought the 'Shergar' comment I saw appropriate.
I do hope we see some inward activity this week. The 0-0 result on saturday against Cordoba does highlight where we need to have the squad strenghtened ie midfield and goalscores.
Once CMS and Hoskins are injured we do look 'thin' as far as strikers are concerned.
I really hope Hoskins is fit for Wednesday and isn't going to have more long term injury problems.
Slightly concerned that for the second season running CMS is having a disrupted pre-season.
