[Albion] The Relegation Pick N Mix: Players To Sign

[Badger Boy]

When you've finished 9th I'm not sure players who have finished 18-20th will really improve you.

Roy Keane was relegated with Nottingham Forest and joined Manchester United. I think he improved them.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I think you are right, no repeat doubles which was a shame.

To this day surely opposition coaches what us before a game and tell their players, this is what he will do so plan for it

I think that what opposition players do know is that Pascal is probably the best crosser of a ball at the Albion and consequently have to put every effort in to stop the cross, leaving them open to the Gross turn. The triple against Fred was one of my personal highlights of the season

 

[m@goo]

Pukki?

Always gets quite a few goals in a poor team. Would get more with the service he'd get from the way we play. 32 now but seems to remain fit.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

My guess is he'll stay at Burnley.

I'd be very surprised if he stayed at Burnley - it's World Cup year and he wants to go.

Can't see him coming to us - unless Sanchez were to leave.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

The breakout player id be looking to sign as an absolute priority is Bassey at Rangers. The guy has immense potential and is left footed.

IF Cucu were to leave, I'd love to see Bassey at Brighton.

 

[WATFORD zero]

IF Cucu were to leave, I'd love to see Bassey at Brighton.

Maybe we should go after him anyway. With two left wing backs in Solly and Cuc both playing yesterday and doing superbly, imagine what we could do with three.

Maybe BensGrandad had a point about never having too many left backs

 

[METALMICKY]

The only one I might consider would be Dennis at Watford.

Aside from that it's that old chestnut of needing another striker. A problem not easily solved unless we get lucky. We don't have the cash/wages for established players and we've blown out on gambles like Locadia and Ali J.

I think Dennis would be very good in our side. But West Ham are apparently sniffing around, so probably a no go.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No.9 Ashley Barnes*






* No, I’m not joking!

 

[Seagull58]

I’d take Weghorst

No way.

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lens]

IF Cucu were to leave, I'd love to see Bassey at Brighton.

Shirley not...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Cornet available for around 17 million.

 

[GT49er]

Cornet available for around 17 million.

Never mind, then.

 

[Stato]

McNeil obviously.

Seems incredible that he's still only 22. Over 100 appearances in the top division over 4 seasons. I've seen some criticism of his lack of goals and assists this year, but as far as match ratings go, there are only 6 U23 players, who played more than half the season and were marked higher on Whoscored.com: Foden, James, Gallagher, Saka, Chalboah & Ait Nouri. McNeil was also seventh on that list last year and topped it in 2018/19 & 2019/20. I suspect that he'll be a bit out of our price bracket. Figures over £40m were being bandied about in January.

Yeah he’s still so young. His goal/assist output has been poor but he’s been playing in an awful team. The kid has huge potential, is hugely experienced for his age and would offer us something in wide positions. Could imagine him playing in the Tross role very effectively. We also know that players improve exponentially under Potter.
30-40 million would be the kind of amount we are going to start spending, and his wage demands aren’t likely to be ‘young top 4 player’ levels. I don’t suppose he is on much money.

 

[The Fits]

Cornet available for around 17 million.

Bargain IMHO. Can play anywhere down the left. Has proven he can score goals in his first season in England in an appealing team. And we’ve supposedly scouted him extensively.

 

[Stato]

30-40 million would be the kind of amount we are going to start spending.

I don't think that we will. I don't think that Tony will change the financial model much at all.

 

[levs]

I'd take Cornet, Dennis or McNeil if available for the right price. I also think Brownhill is a good player, but given our depth in central midfield I'm not sure where he'd fit in. I certainly wouldn't put him ahead of Caicedo, Bissouma or Mwepu.

From Watford I think Cucho Hernandez and Joao Pedro have got good potential, I wouldn't be surprised if they were on our recruitment teams radar given their age

 

[Pavilionaire]

If Trossard leaves then Cornet would be the perfect replacement. We've seen Cornet more as a left-winger / striker with Burnley but at Lyon he was more of a left wing-back like a Ryan Sessegnon or Andy Robertson. The guy has incredible versatility, gets a high percentage of his shots on target and exceeds his xG.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

I feel that we will only be signing 'first team' players if more than Biss. leave (which is catered for). Otherwise we are very much as we were with the 'in house' squad additions.
