[Albion] Dembele on the way

[Weststander]

Yes, you're right.

But, West Ham bough a couple of strikers in the summer and also seem poor in the transfer market. Made a lot of promises to fans about recruitment that they cant seem to make happen .

Newcastle owner looking to sell, again littek spending there and might not want to blow his money at a time of getting out.

Everton are a good shout, they do need a striker, but again spent a lot in the summer and look worse. If they do go big on a striker maybe their first choice is someone more established/prolific.

All conjecture of course but there is more to landing players that who waves the biggest cheque, although that does help

CP spent £30m plus on a centre back. Everton majority owned by a billionaire who spends £200m per transfer window

Cautious Albion using Moneyball, several levels below that just at the moment.

Yup, so my guess is those with big money wont have 21 year old striker playing in Scotland at the top of their striker list.

He may be on their list, but not necessarily their main target. 1in4 for Fulham and 1 in 2 in the SPL is a risky move for bigger Prem team to blow their striker budget on.

For a moneyball outfit like us, its a calculated risk.

Maybe, someone can ask Sky to explain why they posted such as story?

Indeed - no bid or approach made.

To counter any future trolls: at this point in time no approach nor bid has been made. If something happens in the future it won't mean that an approach was made on or before today.

****in grinch mate

 

[maglers]

From whom, surely?

Either is acceptable in this case.

I have my doubts as to whether or not he is good enough but I am sure many in Scotland who have seen him play would have a better idea Just hope that he doesnt turn out to be another CMS.who couldnt make the step up in grade.

Don't worry, he's not coming so you don't need to bother writing him off early, save it for the actual signings.

From the Celtic forum " the only explanation for this is maybe the big man wants to come out"

Well that loan spell went quick, still no goals scored, nothing changed then!

According to Sky Sports Celtic have accepted our bid so down to the player. Simple question to NooBHA and others familiar with Scottish football is he good enough,obviously CH etc think so? Would just like some opinions and views.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

We won't know till he plays in the Prem.

Jury out for me. Plays for a bad team in a worse league (English League 1 at best).

Just jesting, Sky have removed story so clearly incorrect.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I've heard of him so can't see this happening

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I'm sure I read somewhere when the news of our interest broke that Celtic will get a sell on fee from us when sold on in the future.

My guess is the pitch to the player is guaranteed first team football, put yourself in the window for the French WC squad, stay with us for a couple of seasons and we wont stand in your way when one of the big boys come in.

That's because your guess is identical to the article I read too. Sounds convincing doesn't it. I'm in

We knew that already. In fact, we knew that before he was named.

His name is commonly linked with Everton, Chelsea and West Ham, at £40m. If he'd be a stellar hit for Brighton, immediately transforming our attacking fortunes in the PL this January, then he'd do exactly the same at those other clubs, perhaps more so due to better service from technically better players.

Unfortunately he features highly in all transfer rumours. If the Albion carry on with their thrustworthy transfer policy, we'll be going for better value elsewhere in Europe's leagues.

What exactly did you know that CH and his staff dont? I admit to having doubts about his ability.
