Based on what ? 2-1 against a poor Utd side that Brentford are 4-0 up against at half time and a 0-0 draw against a Newcastle side? We will see after a few more sides but I’m not convinced the revolution is as good as people are making out

I do hope Undav can score Maupays and - as we all hope - 5 more
E wise if he’s duff we are going to really struggle for goals.

Warren has grown on me over the seasons his inability to pronounce names just adds to the enjoyment
But John Byrne was far superior IMHO

I hope so to. Baffling that he basically got the same amount of pre season minutes as Maupay if he was going to be the ‘main man’

Not for me Clive, grumpy United fan
Warren seems to me to be Albion through and through. I may be wrong because he has played for a number of teams, some bigger than us and is not Brighton born and bred, but he seems to have a real affinity with the Albion.
Quite. As much as Inadmire Welbeck he has never been prolific.

No, you raise a good point. We shouldn’t base it on our opening two results or the fact we’ve got most decisions spot on as a club for almost a decade. We should base it on what might happen in the future because we’ve sold a striker who doesn’t score enough goals and has fallen to third choice.
Would I be happier with a couple of incomings? Yes of course. Am I going to shit my britches like some people are because we’re selling a striker who wouldn’t get double figures this season and would leave for a free in the summer? No. The club has built up another good credit with me that I’ll trust their judgement on this. If there’s someone we think we can get a good deal on then we’ll sign them. If we don’t then we won’t. Who really cares?

Likewise, I trust the club implicitly in transfer dealings.

I think TB’s maximising cash inflow, then will sign a LB and hopefully a scorer (striker or from midfield) by Sept 1st.
As usual with the Albion, it’s all below the radar.
Losing Welbeck to injury at any stage would be a huge blow, he leads the line brilliantly. No other player in the squad has that skillset.

I think WA is also a Man Utd supporter.

No way
Fairly sure I heard him say it in commentary highlights from last week.

we'll all care when a couple of injuries and fatigue takes out our strikers. weakest area getting weaker.
Yup, I posted weeks ago that we’d be better off waiting until January and taking less. Atm we’ve got no evidence at all that Undav can score goals in the Premier League, and only optimism that Welbeck’s injuries won’t reoccur. I hope that Welbeck has a fantastic season and Undav is Maupay+ but we seem to be making a high risk decision.
I have to trust the club and those on the inside, but we seem from here to be taking an unnecessary unforced risk.

While I would have liked for Neal to stay for depth purposes, let's be honest here: He is not half the player he used to be and I am not surprised that he is going. Just have to trust TB and Potter know what they are doing(I have the utmost faith they do).
When did he use to be twice the player he is now?

Well he used to display the talent that we bought him for(imo)and that slowly disappeared, really the main point I was making. Now watch him go light it up for them lol.

We’d have almost certainly got nothing for him in January. We might as well just let him run his contract down.
I think that is rubbish TBH.
He was exceptional last season doing what he has always done for us.
1. Missing plenty of sitters.
2. BUT scoring technically brilliant goals - but all at the right time!
He upset scores of Palace, West Ham and Stains fans. They hate him. But they don’t hate him as much as Arsenal and Leeds fans, he haunts their dreams.
