As they seem to have started already, this should be an ongoing thread until August
Seny Dieng - Reims who are mid table in Ligue 1 reportedly interested
Conor Masterson - Gillingham, where he spent the 2nd half of the season; are confident of signing him, but Exeter are also interested |  |

The same has been said before after losing our better players and we in fact improved. Not saying that would happen now but selling Chair might open a number of doors to us. Like giving Willock a new contract on better terms, if that’s what we want to do or by tying some of our younger prospects down to a longer contract. Like Sinclair Armstrong and increasing his future value in the process.
I think we need to get away from this constant living in fear of relegation. We could keep Chair and get relegated anyway and how much would he be worth then? |
Agree with this. The sky was falling in when Freeman left - Chair became his replacement, which didn't seem likely at the time. There's loads of creative 10s at the club who aren't wingers, midfielders or forwards just like Chair isn't. It'll create space for one of them.
Freeman is also a free agent available on a short contract if anybody called Gareth Ainsworth is really worried that Willock, Taylor-Richards or Kolli couldn't step into the role.
(Doesn't sound from Dave Mc on X that this is a real transfer anyway at the moment, but a good distraction from work). |  | | |

You really think that Taylor Richards could fill the hole that losing Chair would leave? Or Kolli, an eighteen year old who’s come on and run around a lot for half an hour in a couple of games and scored a couple of Worldies against Peterborough under 18 reserves?
The only one who might be able to compensate would be Willock playing like he did a year ago but I would be very ( pleasantly) surprised if we see that level of performance from him again.
I think we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one.
The way that a lot of our Championship rivals are strengthening their playing resources in this window I already had the feeling that playing them with our present squad would be like going to a gunfight armed with a penknife. If we lose Chair you can swap the penknife for a stick of rhubarb. | | | |

Every single person here has known that there could be interest in Chair this transfer window. Every single person here also has known it'd likely come late in the window. Dave Mac has been reporting that all summer- literally. Where would he get that from other than agents or the club?
IF we receive an acceptable offer today (whatever that might be) there is absolutely no reason for the club to have not already lined up a replacement, whether than be another 10, a winger, a striker, a central midfielder or a full back. Preferably, two or three of the above. They could be free transfers, transfers or loans but they could already be in motion right this second. What are they doing otherwise? Sat around twiddling thumbs hoping the phone doesn't ring?
If QPR don't have at least one transfer already lined up that's contingent on Chair leaving today it verges on malpractice. You can add Willock and Field to that same list by the way. Chair leaving at 9 o'clock tonight or later and QPR not bolstering the squad in reaction would be ridiculous and I don't believe for one second it'd happen. [Post edited 1 Sep 2023 13:07]

Stick of Rhubarb !! , think you may need to re think that, Rhubarb is not cheap these days.
I agree . Have no idea who sanctioned the Taylor Richards deal, but they need a talking to
We are already heaping a lot of pressure on Sinclair Armstrong , Kolli looks a great prospect but we need to give the poor lad time.
If Chair were to depart and we had no replacement lined up , I feel questions should be asked .
I don't think Chair will go... but that's just based on me being a dreamer .. |  | | |

Nothing to do with Rangers but the 12 month loan deal that Brighton have just secured from Barcelona for Ansu Fati could be a nightmare for commentators. | | | |

Those cnts have just drawn Ajax, Marseille and Athens in the Europa League as well.
I mean, can you imagine? I remember watching them play Scunthorpe (and lose) in the Third Division. I remember beating them at a chuffing athletics stadium. And now look at them. Amsterdam, Marseille and Athens. Fckk off will ya. Look forward to their round of 16 clash away to Jennifer Lawrence's Hot Tub. Bstrds. |  | | |

If Chair goes and we get a decent fee, for a possible replacement I would be looking at Wimbledon's Ali Al-Hamadi. He's had a slow start so far this season but second half of last season was on fire for them with 10 in 19 for an ultimately relegated team. He also won their POTY award despite being there less than half a season.
Ainsworth also knows all about him as he signed him for Wycombe from Swansea. |  |

Brighton season ticket holder at work is walking around with a permanent sh1t eating grin on his face. Couldn’t have picked three better European away trips.
He was there when they nearly got relegated out of the football league so fair play but it’s difficult to watch in the context what’s happening to our club. |  | | |

This is a great post, but i do think it’s another case of fans believing transfers are a bit easier than the reality.
What do you mean by ‘lined up’? In what world would a club agree to some sort of arrangement that may or may not happen depending on something else happening and then be happy enough to just sign it all off at 8pm on transfer deadline day? Are we supposed to have agreed personal trends with this player? What about a medical? Why wouldn’t a club, having noted you’re about to sell your most loveable player, suddenly decide to just double the price? I don’t doubt the club have targets, but equally if Chair went at any point now, it would be incredible if they managed to land a replacement in this sort of time frame. That’s my gut feeling. Equally, the club could have been in ongoing discussions with leicester for a few days and be engaging in similar discussions of their own elsewhere. Maybe that’s a more lol likely scenario? Maybe most of this post is nonsense, sorry Gino 😂 |  |

I’m confused. Is it a great post or nonsense?
To answer your question… I don’t believe any transfer gets done in a number of minute or hours. I’d imagine they all take days at a minimum, which is the precise reason for my sentiment. I think we’ll have plenty of forewarn if any of our players are likely to leave so wheels should already be in motion with reactive deals.
You often hear of clubs agreeing to sell players but completion is dependent on a replacement being signed. If they’re waiting until Chair has signed a contract somewhere else this evening before picking the phone up and making enquiries they only have themselves to blame. | | | |

It’s a bit like ‘the chain’ when buying selling property. You’ve got the people selling the place that you want to move into. You’ve got the people selling their place who’s going to move into your place. You’ve got all the people beyond that. Everyone’s got their own legal advice and estate agent. If one person’s solicitor has a glass of wine too many at lunch or one persons removal van gets a flat tyre then everybody’s fcked. |  | | |

Yeah, I think Taylor Richards could fit the bill but the problem is he would need to be treated almost like Adel with people covering for him defensively. We have to find a way to get something out of him with a 3 year deal.
I think Chair will improve and be worth more in the future. Sell on clause is important. |  |

Exactly this.
Apparently Ten Haag and United are livid that Maguire didn’t go to West Ham as it’s held up other deals.
These deals are all well in motion before this pathetic day which I think Sky helped dream up to keep the meejah masses entertained. Much like ATC around bush airspace….. once one lands lots of others then have a pathway to land.
Then you have clubs fishing in the pond where we are swimming.
Zero interest to a spotty Korean kid so hardly any coverage but same principle sort of applies I reckon.
I’ll never understand how they can allow this transfer window nonsense to occur a month into the season and/or on the Eve of a round of fixtures |  |

Couple of transfer links going around.
Josh Knight - Did agree a £300k deal earlier in the window but deal collapsed, possible we go back in for him, can play in a number of positions across the defence.
Jamal Lowe - Was linked, deal agreed to go to Swansea on a short term loan until January.
Chris Martin - could return.
Terrence Kongolo - would be an interesting option, but we are already stacked with options in this area.
Can only sign unless we sell first, which atm isnt looking likely. | | | |

Its impossible to be angry at Brighton right now IMO they have captured magic in a bottle for the last couple of years .The hottest manager in years (Potter ) bailed to go destroy his rep at Chelsea yet they are playing better and more sucessfully right now under De Zerbi .
The 5 or 6 players they sold at stunning prices are easily replaced and will generate serious money when they are sold .
They are lovely to watch and easy to cheer for right now .However after watching their ass kicking from West Ham last weekend they might not find it as easy to stay in the top 6 this time around |  | | |

Chair will remain seated. |
You missed off the letter 'd'.
Chair will remain sedated, and will therefore be unable to say 'yes' to any deal. |  | | |

Given the way that Knight deal collapsed last time if he still wants to come here then fair fcks he's more of the forgiving type than me. | | | |
