You may be right that he's not PL ready but with 8 in 14 in a decent league, it's fair to say he might be a bit too good for Plymouth.

It's not being pedantic though. There's a BIG difference between signing a player on loan (to fill a gap) and purchasing a player tying them to a long term contract. Given how well Mooy has been since he's come in, I would be very surprised if we didn't sign him permanently.
With Andersson the signing is a much bigger gamble though - given's his age, no prem experience and up to this season wasn't playing in one of the main leagues. We know Potter's history and ability to be able to improve players that have been written off previously, and if he's happy as a third / fourth choice player then..

I know the word is banned by the club, but should a signing like this happen, next month, it will be purely based on 'moneyball'.
"What do we need?"
"5 goals".
"Ok so go and get me 5 goals".
"I don't need, 20 goals
I don't need goals in 4 years
I don't need resale value that will cost now.
Just go and buy me 5 goals and game management for other two".

I think we should be looking at pacy strikers that can run the channels and interchange with Maupay and Connolly, not replacements for Glenn Murray. We don't play 4-5-1 any more.
How about a Glenn Murray with ‘pace’ ??

Looks like a possibility for January at that price.
No chance we will be paying overheated amounts this window.

Seems like this might be back on
Sebastian Andersson has scored 12 goals and three forwards in the Bundesliga.
Now Valencia and Brighton are stepping up the hunt for the 28-year-old - and both clubs should be prepared to buy off the Swedish national team striker this summer, according to data from
SportExpressen
Sebastian Andersson, 28, has had a successful season in Germany. His Union Berlin struggles to stay in the Bundesliga and is in a great form, but for the striker the goals continue to roll in.
Yesterday there was a new goal in the 4-1 loss away to Borussia Mönchengladbach, which means that Berlin now has four points down to Fortuna Düsseldorf, which parks in qualifying and another two points to good on Werder Bremen which is on relegation place.
Struggling to stay
However, Bremen has played a match less and will be playing their suspension match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.
Andersson has scored a total of 12 goals and three forwards in the Bundesliga, which has resulted in a number of clubs joining the hunt to recruit the Swedish national team striker.
According to SportExpressen, the main interest comes from the Spanish Valencia and Graham Potter's Brighton. Potter knows Andersson well, and Brighton has had scouts in place at several of Union Berlin's games this season.
Berlin requires about SEK 60 million
Both clubs should be prepared to buy the Swede already this summer. His agent and the player himself are well aware of the interest from Valencia and Brighton and Union Berlin has been said to demand close to SEK 60 million to release the 28-year-old. Anders signed a new contract with Union Berlin at the beginning of the year and the new contract extends to the summer of 2022.

Mooy forgot how to play as soon as we signed him on a permanent, flawed plan

It would seem I rolled into the festive period fairly lucid.
Just how much would 5 goals, from January through to lockdown, be worth now?

Some good headed goals and great finish around 35secs in.

He's a classic goal poacher. He can go through a game appearing almost anonymous, then appear out the blue and score. When he gets the service around the box, he can certainly be a clinical finisher. Can he make the step up to PL? I'm torn. He will be playing with a better quality midfield at Brighton and would surely get better service. I'll take a punt half on the fence and say yes. I think?
No longer allowed to talk about his future at the club as Union Berlin are allegedly in discussions with clubs.
Wonder if he is still one of the options? Would reportedly just cost around £6m so if the club wants a cheaper option I guess its not impossible.

Naylor’s said we’re sniffing around Edouard & Nunez so I guess we’ll be looking at spending £15m+ on this mystery striker. This signing is as critical as keeping the likes of Dunk or White at the club, I don’t think we’re looking at the ‘value’ range to be honest.

Be a change, but then bringing in Lallana signified a major change in strategy.

It looks like his £4 million pound release clause expires on Saturday morning.
Now or never really if he is on the list.

Absent from the two last Swedish training sessions, supposedly a slight knock.. but who knows.
Another former transfer target (trial in 2015) from Sweden, Jesper Karlsson, is apparently in discussions with a foreign club about a £2m transfer. Allsvenskan is poor and its unusual to go immediatly from playing here to playing in the PL (I can only think of Ljungberg really), but again.. you never know
Scored "goal of the year" in Allsvenskan last year (6:30)
