Only reason we would sell is if we felt we could upgrade in that position or sign a player who fitted RDZ’s plans better going forward.
It wouldn’t surprise me if we made a new signing in that position in the sumner.
Chelsea ‘in the know’ Twitter accounts reporting that their club made a bid for Alexis this afternoon. 55m
Is there a Brighton player they’re not interested in signing? Doesn’t feel like it.
Sterling is believed to be on 325k a week.
The wages are ludicrous at Chelsea. They need to qualify for Champions League for next 4 seasons and go quite far otherwise they’re going to have major financial issues.
Age and also how much room he has still to develop.
Data is more than likely pointing us towards Piero Hincapié, Evan Ndicka, Calvin Bassey and Max Kilman.
Will be interesting to see the outcome. Need to back the manager with his picks sometimes, especially when the manager knows the player.
Doesn’t make much sense to use our name as we’re not known for paying big bucks in either fee or wages. If that was the agenda you’d use Newcastle or Arsenal.
There was also talk of him being a potential signing for Al Nassr yesterday too - where he would play alongside Ronaldo.
Will be interesting to see where he ends up - he’s definitely getting around.
Won the u17 player of the year at international level though and has been prolific at youth level.
Read a report earlier on him and he sounds like Ferguson mk2. Strong, good in the air and can hold ball up.
He’s been one of our most important players on the pitch recently, constantly talking to other players and being a leader and a role model.
Thing is his contract is up at the end of the season, and he’ll be 35 then. Are we expecting him to hang up his boots or continue for another season...
He’s good, but he’s more or less reached his peak. The most sensible/ us like move would be for Piero Hincapié. He’s raw and will need to be integrated slower but has a much higher ceiling. Looking at around 20m fee
Chilean press saying he’s on the short list to replace Lucas Moura at Spurs.
In the same article they’re saying other Prem clubs are keeping an eye. Assume we are one of them still.
Alex Crooks has tweeted we’ve turned a deal down from an unnamed European club (my gut feeling is it’s Atletico).
If he’s thrown his toys out of the pram over that, then I’m fearing it’s going to become a saga very much like Cucu’s exit.
