[Albion] Odsonne Édouard

Even though it has a massive blind spot in identifying striker targets?

Well, if you look at the facts (including the ones that don't appeal to you), they don't. It's hardly a failure of the recruitment team that players (for now at least) prefer Benfica tp Brighton.

And they, very astutely, didn't get sucked into the noise generated by agents and the OF loving Scottish press trying to get us buying strikers who aren't right for us, that we didn't want.

And if you look at the facts (including the ones that don't appeal to you), other teams don't seem to have the same problem with striker targets preferring other sides.

Budget budget budget. Simple really. Can you chip in or is it Bloom out and some foreign shyster in?

I'm talking about the likes of Cornet, Armstrong, Edouard. Are we really not able to afford them?

You would think any striker would want to come to us with the team that's being built.

Cornet and Armstrong, I have no idea but I think (from online rumours) that yes Edouard is beyond our budget

This club is not run by morons I hope. Sixth not good enough for you?

Did you support Charlton when Curbishley was manager, it’s sounding very similar

We were never interested FACT

He signed for Palace FACT

Get over it

 

[Swansman]

Adam Armstrong, Odsonne Edouard and Matt Derbyshire would have scored three goals each on that one of those slick Veltman passes to the advertisement boards behind the goal yesterday. Fact.

Didn't realise the season had ended but would obviously be extremely happy with 6th.

Just not happy with us winning 4 games out of 26 against the bottom three.

This in great big red font. In fact, I've made it great big red font.

Really? OK, whatever. We're crap. Should sack the recruiting team PDQ, but nobody running the club knows what they're doing.

Does this mean the end of this thread?

PLEASE?

PLEASE?

It is a little bit nauseating to think about this thread being bumped every time Brighton fail to win a game until his contract runs out in 2025...

 

[brighton_tom]

Dodged a bullet?

 

[maresfield seagull]

Is the phrase?
Mods please lock it up
And send it to the graveyard
Only to be resurrected if we sign him please

 

[Weststander]

His highlight was being part of a leftwing three with Schlupp and one other, taking on a lone Veltman in the first half. (Gross was out of his depth in defence, no pace).

Game seemed to pass him by once Lamptey came on, the £18.5m striker became a second left back shit scared of Lamptey’s brilliance.

 

[El Turi]

He’s been shit every time I’ve seen him play. I can’t believe they are paying him £75-85,000 a week.

 

[Amexarmadillo]

Looks awful. Let’s hope it stays that way. He is miles worse than what we already have from what I’ve seen.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I also watched Ivan Toney on Tues at Southampton, he was also totally ineffective.

When Toney and Edouard were available I was hoping we would sign one of them.
We dodged two bullets.

The one to get next summer IMHO is Broja. But no doubt Chelsea (if they are prepared to sell) will want top dollar and there will be better value buying from the French league or South America.

 

[schmunk]

He was completely ineffectual against us. He lost just about every aerial battle when they pumped the ball towards him.

OUT

No shame in that.
He was playing the Albion and it's rotating cast of wall like central defenders.

The shame lay in the fact we're the 'draw kings'.
