Here is my overall look on the squad
oksg1t.jpg

We will need to do some business during the summer as I feel the squad could do with some improving for us to challenge for promotion this season

Goalkeepers: I will keep to the 3 I already have this season and will then maybe look to move Ankergren on next season

Defenders: I feel we could possibly do with another Right back but this will not be as much of a concern for me until next season as i feel Bruno and Calderon can cover well for the season but may change my mind if the right player comes up

Midfielders: The only thing we are lacking here is a winger or two which is something we will look at

Strikers: I am confident enough with the strikers there, I already sent Leon Best back to Blackburn as I felt he would hardly be used so best to free up the wages and will look at a better quality striker

Player/s I will look to get rid of during the summer

Kemy Agustien
Kemy would struggle to be used this season as we already have enough quality in this area so I will look to move him on to free up some money for further additions

Players I will potentially target
423497-2.jpg

Chris Eagles
With Chris being on a free, he could potentially be a great signing for us but weather we will offer him a contract yet I do not know

Dean ***
Being a Brighton fan I always felt we should never have let him go but will we try to bring him back this summer?

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas
I feel this player has a lot of quality and can play on the wing or as a striker so would love to bring him in but weather a deal will be done we will wait and see

Joe Mattock
Another player that has played for Brighton before, I feel he could add a lot to the side and give us that extra bit of quality that we need
adam_1563766a.jpg

Adam Matthews
This is one I do not expect to go anywhere near to getting but we will make an enquiry to Celtic about him

Obviously there are a lot more names on our shortlist but that was just a selective few
 
Good luck with this one Sam. I kept SWP on the books for the first season in my story and he always did a job when I used him its just that his wages at QPR were too big to really justify the role he had. Here's hoping he can propel the Seagulls to the promised land of the Premier League!
 
Can you take Bridcutt and Buckley back off our hands mate? XD Actually scrap that, they may be useful in the Championship for us next year!

Good luck with the story, will follow.
 
Good start will follow, how much money did they give you lol. Seems like you have spent a fortune!

I think I started with £1.8 Million but what also helped was the £800K sale of Mackail-Smith to Wigan lol
 
Interesting signings! Curious to see how Brighton do. Good luck. :)

I will start this up again on here

My Player of the Match is Jefferey Monakana, He had a good game while he was on which included a first goal for the club for the lad which is great for him, I also have Paulo Gazzaniga and Glen Rea their debuts for Brighton.

2nd Round
288b0pi.jpg

This match was a lot closer than I would have liked but main thing is we are in the next round where we come up against an old face as Gus Poyet brings his Sunderland side to the AMEX

My player of the match is Craig Mackail-Smith, He looked very sharp and put both his penalties away but his overall performance was good.

Game 5

A victory at home today is good but I was not happy with conceding the goals after being 4-1 up, A brilliant hat-trick from Chris O'Grady today was great to see

My player of the match was Chris O'Grady, He has a superb match today which included a hat-trick from him which should bring his confidence right up!
