Exactly this. After playing 2 full seasons under Hughton defending to his strengths every week he was maybe worth 20m to us? A value of a player is always going to go down when they don'y play as often plus your style of play point :shrug:. If we get 15m we'd have done well.
People saying 10m...
What do you think AMN would go for? I see a player who hasn't nailed down a position yet and a team selling who will be desperate to raise some funds. As good as he may be and the potential he's got, I can't see a team paying much more than 15 mil in the current climate. If it wasn't for Covid...
That's why I put 10-15 :smile:. Norwich want 20 but will probably settle for 15ish.
Henry would go for around 10-12 I think. Obviously have no idea of those players would be on our list or not, but that's the sort of amount I would expect us to be willing to pay, for what is probably our...
Football Manager hat on then.
In:
- Back up goalkeeper if someone leaves and Walton goes back out on Loan or sold - 2 Mil
- Left back - Jamal Lewis / Rico Henry - 10-15 mil
- CDM - Ainsley Maitland-Niles - 15 mil (can do without this one but if its ANM he provides cover for so many other...
I'd say the squad is shaping up well given the noticeable absentees.
Salt
Wells
SVZ
Haines
Bopara
Evans
Brown
Wiese
Jordan
Robinson
Briggs
Not a bad XI is it? Doesn't include the likes of Garton, Rawlings and some other half decent, young squad players.
Best not to pay too much attention to...
Read what I posted again.
I said I think the club would be in for Solanke over going for Wilson and stated why I think that, not what I would do personally.
I'm definitely not suggesting that Solanke is a better player than Wilson and if you want a player to come in and do the business...
Excellent news! My favourite of all our young prospects. Expect him to start a lot more this year if he's injury free. Possibly taking Propper's role if his form doesn't pick up.
Ben White contract extension next please.
Basically this, but would add Lewis Cook to that if we move on Propper (which I hope/don't think we will).
Not saying he's a better player at this time, but do feel we'd move for Solanke before Wilson due to age, wages, re-sale value.
Edit - Someone mentioned Doucoure. He would add something...
He would definitely improve us, but I think we will be looking elsewhere for a striker at that price with his age and injury record (Lallana on a free is a quite a bit different). I would be after Brooks if he's within our price range as we don't have a first choice right winger. He's versatile...
This is very hard. Making it harder by including injured and returning loan players.
4-3-3
GK: Ryan
Defence: Lamptey, Webster, Dunk, Bernardo
Midfield: Bissouma, White, Alzate - (White middle of the 3 and Bissouma to the right to help cover Lamptey marauding forward)
Forwards: Lallana...
I agree it's frustrating but it's also not his or Gross's fault? I'm getting tired of seeing Mooy and Gross playing slightly wider of the 2 CM's, but I'm not going to blame them for their bad performances as they're being played out of position. I don't think it's for not trying, it's just they...
I've just posted similar in the '3 players away from being a top team thread'.
1. If Bernardo and March aren't fancied at left back then a new one to come in. (Jamal Lewis from Norwich, but they'll be a few after him). Burn has been great and he'll rightly be in the squad next season, but we...
1. If Bernardo or March aren't fancied at left back then a new one to come in. (Jamal Lewis from Norwich, but they'll be a few after him)
2. A left footed right winger for more balance in the squad (as March is clearly not fancied there a regular starter and Ali J as a right footer not being...
I think 1 more point will do it. It would then require 2 of the 3 teams on 27 points to pick up 3 wins from their last 7 games, or 2 wins and 2 draws, given our goal difference. That's not even considering Watford would also need to pick up 7 points to go past us as well.
One more win and I'd...
No, we should hold them to account and point out their failings so that they can be rectified and learned from. Silence and 'support' will only lead to a mistake becoming an even worse one. How can you support their decision to ignore science and aim for herd immunity for weeks? How can you...
I'll have a go.
Start the game with a right winger and not expect Montoya to provide everything down that side. We improved massively when March was moved over there.
Play Burn at CB with Dunk and get Bernardo playing left back. Defensively Burn is excellent but in a team with few attacking...
I think the manager now has questions to answer, and I say that as someone who really likes what he is trying to do.
His persistence to rely on average right backs providing all our width down that side really annoys me.
What I would like to see in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, is to start with...
As great as he is, playing him left back limits us going forward on that side. He contributes, obviously, but we need more.
I'd drop Webster and play Burn and Dunk together in the middle.
Preston Nomads 20 minutes outside of Brighton will be used to holding these types of events. Two Squares either side of great clubhouse.
As probably the most privileged club in the county I don't really like suggesting them when smaller clubs would benefit from the type of event you want to...
