For our level he would be an IMMENSE signing for us. Exactly what we need and a good age at 25 to be with us for some time and possibly improve with game time. Physical, strong, and not a bad goals to minutes.
However, he seems exactly the type of player we won't sign because it is now out there as a possibility. As soon as other clubs get wind of his price and reasonable wages I can't see us winning this one. We won't overpay so I suspect we need to get deals done under radar before the competition hots up. Best chance is a loan deal or a buy back clause if Liverpool want to keep their options open?

There don't seem to be too many "known" strikers left now that Watkins, Wilson, Batshuayi, Brewster are out of the frame for us. There's a right load of rubbish left, i.e. Iwobi, Walcott and Moise Kean just from Everton.
It wouldn't be the first time the Albion have tried to release a donkey from Everton.

I don't mind, it's just one opinion against another, but regardless I think the football world would be interested to see how Origi gets on starting every week.
That said, if Brewster is sold Origi may stay and it may all be moot.
This is the most likely scenario for teams like these.

Agree, can't see Liverpool selling Brewster and Origi.

Kean is very highly rated at Juventus, had a bad year and maybe a suspect temperament but for the right price would be interesting, I suspect he's on a massive wage.

Just trying to get my head around that, despite how well we are run and the facilities we have, we appear to be one of the least attractive teams in the Premier League for our targets to come to if another team is in for them.
I think it's down to money. Can't think of anything else. Apart from the amazing facilities, Brighton is probably the best place to live in the UK. Not only the city, but the most amazing countryside and coast (in parts). Nowhere else gets anywhere close.

I love the city and the surrounding countryside but there are plenty of other nice parts of the UK.
There are . . .. but the Sussex coast is best.
TBH I don't see any atttraction in this country over Europe so most must just come here for the money.
I think you mean "because" rather than "despite". Well run = don't overpay

Very few players value where they live these days. Let's face it on average they are only there for 2-3 seasons, so being double to live somewhere else is worth it almost regardless of where it is located. I suspect it has more sway with older players with family though. And probably helps to keep players and wives happy once they are here.

Similar sized teams, Sheff Utd, Burnley, Southampton, even Palace, have shown they can put up a fight in this league while we just scrape over the line each season, which must also be a factor in player’s/agents minds. If we do manage to establish ourselves that may change. Leicester aren’t a big club, but they’re still riding high on recent and former glories and as a result are a big pull for their size.

Fast and was nearly 1 in 2 at Juve
Everton wages for a £30m signing though

This on the Independent transfer ticker...... Sounds like a deal that would fit present financial situation. Loan to buy of 15mill.
