Mentioned him and Bowden at Hull as well on another post. All players who could make the step up if needed

If we were to stay up, I'm assuming we'll have the money to get players like Adams and Bowen for 10 million and 12 million respectively. We'll probably be facing a lot of competition for those two players but if we're willing to pay 15 million for Locadia, I can't see why we can't spend a little extra

Why does he insist every time when cutting inside to not look up and shoot from unrealistic positions and sky it 30 yards above the goal?

Appreciate the strike at West Ham however as a professional footballer surely he must know shots like that are pure luck, so frustrating to watch

Radio Sussex covered Izzy last night. Totally unimpressed with the way he ‘attacks’, never looks up, gives the ball away and they mentioned the hopeless shots.

In the NS last night, people were ironically chanting LuaLua after his pathetic shots.

Is he really a huge upgrade on Kez?? Really struggling to see it and certainly not worth 13m

Both Brooks and James were recommended by the scouts last summer but rejected by the analytics team, who make Bob Booker, the original clipboard kid, seem like Einstein.

Which is a worry. We were recommended Wilson as well when he was at Coventry and scouted him a number of times and another player rejected by the team although it wasn’t quite so in depth 4 years ago. People looking at figures and stats rather than actual potential that scouts and others can see. Not a fan of such a system.
Whoever thought Brooks wasn’t a PL ready player needed shooting. 7 goals 5 assists from RM in his 1st season all because some of his numbers didn’t tick the right box we didn’t look to get him.
James value is going up and up. Not sure we would get him now anyway as we will most likely be priced out.

Staggered if James joins us - being linked with bigger clubs than us

Lot's of relegated teams get stuck with overpaid and under effort wasters and they can't get rid , that's what we will spunk the parachute pay on, Proppers wages

Nah, Propper will get picked up for sure. We will be left with invisible Ali J, with dj Locadia

Matt Ritchie will be released by Newcastle in the summer.

Regardless of our decision we should pick him up
