I am waiting for the oracle to speak.

I’d go for Abraham loan to buy and get Toney outright clearing out the deadwood midfield to pay for them

 

[albionalex]

Ivan Toney if Brentford miss out on promotion. Only 25. Change from £20M? Wages might be the usual problem tho. Oh well

Brentford would want at least the same fee that they got for Watkins, which was £28 million, which could rise to £33 million.

Boulaye Dia

Shame we could have had him for £12m last summer.

I think he'll still be available for a similar price, given the financial troubles in French football at the moment.

It just depends if other clubs go in for him too.

The more you spend the better you improve your chances

Like Sheffield United did with Brewster?

You lot saw them coming

No thanks!!

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Stephy Mavididi please, move Welbeck into the middle. Boom.

Was joint top scorer with Mbappe on 12 goals when people spoke about him in January. Has since only added 2 more & fallen down the top scorer leader board, so interest from others may have cooled. Had a 10 game run without a goal. 1 assist all season. I think he might have dropped from a high target to one of many.

If we can find a way to just have Maupay as an out and out poacher, I think he will score more. He can't pass and is too selfish to drop deep, so play to his strengths and just have him in the box. Problem is it will weaken other parts of the pitch.

Maupay's radar was a bit off last night (68% pass accuracy), but that was way lower than normal. The stats don't really bear out your theory that he can't pass and his chances created and crosses made also suggest that he is not too selfish to drop deep.

I'm sure there are forwards whose passing stats are better, but there's not much point comparing him with the likes of Kane & Salah because he's not a £100m+ player

Always tough to know until you see the accounts (and even then its difficult) but
Sky reported these two deals as £6m and £3m
https://www.skysports.com/football/...n-polish-duo-jakub-moder-and-michal-karbownik

and The Argus scoffed at the reported £10m figure when he was signed.
"The Argus have been told the fee would be well below the 11 million euros being quoted in Poland."

The difference may be between "up front" and "add on". We had a knowledgeable Polish contributor on here recently that suggested the higher
figures were realistic in that context ( at least for Moder).

To be honest, I cannot remember a single transfer we've made where the Argus hasn't come out a few weeks later and said the fee was actually a lot lower than initially reported

 

[Questions]

Get real folks, we'll sign a youngster from a random European club for £8 mil before loaning him back for 6 months. Or we might sign a female.

So why are you so anti transgender ?

 

[rogersix]

I'm sure the scouts are out and about. current rumours are about
Ivan Kalashnikov , 27, 6'3" ex army commando and former U15's medal winning ballerina . £2m from Athletico Monkeytennis in Moldova, scored 25 goals last season including a header which broke the keepers arm and tore the net.

him

What like Palace ?

 

[dwayne]

Batshuayi on loan. Low risk option , knows where the back of the net is. Last chance saloon for him and potter could get the best out of him.

Hasn't happened for him this season but palace are rubbish and don't serve up chances for him.

I think the current climate will see prices remain high, but less transfers taking place. So it'll be hard to shift those we don't want and still face a big bill for incomers. Strangely I think we will be appealing to strikers in our supposed price range, as footballers watch premier football and our shot creation and style are perfect for anyone who thinks they can make a name for themselves. (plus Brighton's a nicer place to live than most premier options). It was hard to hear Bobby claiming if he was playing for us now he'd stay be scoring for fun. Look at the scraps we used to feed Murray.
