Change at Barnham

The same story recycled in today's BBC Gossip column, linking The Albion and other clubs our size with the young midfielder.

Goteborg holding out for 7M euros? If we want him, just go for it before someone else steps in. It ain't going to break the bank.
Last I heard was that clubs had tried to lowball IFK Göteborg with bids worth ca £4m. Given IFKs transfer history, this is entirely sensible - they are terrible at getting money for their players and a year ago they would have taken £4m. But some ten months ago or so they decided to outsource negotiations so I guess the people dealing this time around might want a decent fee. Eventually I think they'll get the €7m if that it was it takes.

That's the way I would look at it also and probably most of our fellow armchair fantasy football owners.
It's obviously not as simple as that and the transfer fee is probably likely to be nearer £20m plus the usual sell-on percentages and agents fees (a bit less than we paid for Baleba, but not far off).
I note that Kudus is being linked with wanting a move away from West Ham after only a season, probably due to the contract terms West Ham agreed to and that Tony Bloom refused to agree to. TB will only sign players on his terms.
Simple then. €7M, take a punt, €20M trot on.

Hope this one gets over the line. Box to box with pace.
Similarities with Caicedo.
7 Mil, with loads of interest across Europe.
Checked out on various sites looks like he fits our model.
Or 30 mil on Summerville ?
What do do I know ??

Good point. It is disgusting that we are only allowed to sign one player in this window.

We have reportedly upped our offer from €6m to €7m:
Hopefully we can keep this a bit quieter. You know Chelsea’s scouts probably read NSC!

He looks like a 14 year old 40 year old.
Or a 40 year old 14 year old.
That in itself is quite a talent so lets sign him up.

This is Adingra's replacement once Adingra replaces Mitoma.

He’s a midfielder. More of an Mwepu replacement 18 months on.
Adingra will replace Mitoma next season on the left and Minteh will make the RW position his own. Succession planning innit?
Does seem like he's coming if nothing weird happens.
Wonder what the plan would be for him. He's a relatively recently turned 18-year-old - he might not quite be ready for the PL just yet. Very few 18 year olds play regularly in the PL.
Playing primarly with the U21s is probably one option. Spending the rest of the season on loan in Gothenburg and then coming to Brighton in December would also make sense, if it wasn't for IFKs dire track record of developing players and keeping them fit. Their new manager is a bit more Brighton than the manager they just sold (!), so maybe there could be a discussion.
Of course, there's a small chance he could be part of the first team squad next season. His allround (DMC more than anything, but perfectly capable of playing at either wing) qualities could make him useful in any midfield role, and a versatile non-Milner player like that would be quite handy.
