[Albion] Kudus vs Palmer: Which of the recent "ones that got away" who do you think would have worked out best

[kelvinnewman]

Felt like we were seriously in for both, so which do you think would have worked out best?

And any others we were in for recently that slipped away that you're gutted about?

 

[Sheebo]

Palmer - if we were actually in for him which I’m not sure we were.

 

[Wozza]

Nunez.

I don't know how close it got but there was plenty of reporting we were interested

Palmer is the better player all round, is Chelseas best player and is worth the most.

But I reckon the physicality and type of goal scoring MF Kudus is, is what we're missing more in our squad.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Like Nunez, I doubt we were really close to getting either. Palmer would be amazing in our midfield.

 

[GT49er]

Palmer. Was there ever a serious discussion? Better than Jonathan Calleri anyway, any day of the week!

 

[kelvinnewman]

Alex Crook who's normally pretty reliable on brighton news...

 

[Triggaaar]

Nunez.

van Djik

 

[A1X]

I swear the only place I ever saw Palmer being linked with us was on here

 

[Wozza]

van Djik

​

Ian Wright?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Michael Owen.

 

[Triggaaar]

Ian Wright?

van Dijk is at least still playing

 

[Springal]

Was Palmer not going to be a loan. As a sale not sure we had much chance.

So I’d say Kudus

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

​

Ian Wright?

Kanchelskis

 

[hart's shirt]

Roy Keane

 

[London Irish]

van Djik

Yeh - don't think I'll get over that one but doubt if he'd have been here long, is the consolation

 

[Beanstalk]

Basically yeah. Palmer was supposed to be very keen for the loan but we weren’t prepared to pay the fee Chelsea were going to.

City always planned to get that pure FFP profit from Palmer then get Doku in to fill his spot in the squad, and Chelsea were all too happy to facilitate it.

 

[Beanstalk]

van Djik

Yeah, Van Dijk in the championship, playing next to Lewes Dunk, under Poyet. Boy oh boy.

 

[Muzzman]

Don’t think it would have mattered either way, they would have been inevitably injured at some point, probably all season, knowing our luck.
