Bearing in mind he cost around £5 million...that’s nothing in today’s market especially in the striker department. If nothing else he’ll be a sound addition to our squad depth.

I wholeheartedly agree with you BG, I reckon Locadia will have at least one hit in the top fifty in the trance charts

I guess the club believe Andone will be Murrays long term replacement, but with Murray's age and certain off field issues likely to be a factor this season, I hope the Romanian finds his feet quickly.
Just because we got him cheap doesn’t mean he’s going to be up to it. I know we can’t easily afford to spend tens of millions but there’s been serious investment in every area except the strikers. Bit concerning , but hopefully andone wil hit the ground runn8ng and Murray is as good as last year

The club were prepared to spend £17m on him last summer so perhaps they feel he is the right player? For me that is more important.

He was also a player we were going to pay £20 million for in January but Deportivo wouldn't let him leave because they were in a relegation battle. We only got him for £5 mil because of his relegation release clause. That doesn't make him any worse.

I'm not sure anyone's ever said or implied that. It doesn't make sense.
Normally he would be a 'serious' investment. If I recall, last year Deportivo wouldn't let him go for less than 20 million euros. It's only because of the relegation clause that we were able to get him so cheap.
I think you're expecting too much and a very harsh critic if you think his goal scoring record is poor. It's not amazing, but for a team of our stature, it's good.

On his last warning
I was watching youtube clips of him last night. He looks absolute quality. A midfielder who runs through the middle in Messiesque fashion, can shoot from range, strong in the tackle and knows when to play a pass. How on earth have we managed to pull this off?
I'm aware the highlights reels can be misleading at times (Toko) but this lad looks something else. By the looks of things, he's going to be our maverick version of Hazard. The player who makes things happen. He'll shoot from range, start and finish counter attacks, unlock a defence with his dribbling, score from free kicks. Be the game changer.
I've never felt more excited and confident about a bunch of signings since the summer Zamora was signed at the Withdean. Amazing time to be an Albion fan this.

To your top paragraph what I mean is - going by his record, theres no doubt we are getting value for 5 mill. But getting good value doesn’t mean he will be up to what we need.
My overall point is , I thought there would be more investment in strikers. We seem to have an army of quality wingers but the forward line looks Potentially a weak link. Andone might well be brilliant and adapt to prem Immediately , Murray may roll back the years.
But it’s definitely the weakest area of the squad imho. There’s very little depth, even if andone is good. Behind him and Murray there isn’t much at all. the other parts of the squad look bang on.

The recruitment team will know if a player has a decent chance in cutting the mustard or not in the premier league. I trust their judgement. They haven't got a great deal wrong and have unearthed some real jems for very sensible prices in this crazy market!

Ive just had a good look at his highlights on YouTube and the major difference between him and Kaz is Bissouma plays with his head up and seems to have a picture of what he is trying to achieve. Kaz never did.
I'm really excited about his kid, he is only 21 but looks immense.

Let's not get carried away guys, we've only seen 20 minutes of him so far.
But you're right, he looks the dog's to me.
Another gem unearthed by the recruitment team (I hope!)

Looks to be very promising very nice free kick by him. Brighton has some top notch scouts.

But where to play him?
A replacement for Gross? Surly not...

Before you get carried away just remember Abdul Razak’s debut.
I’d love him to the new Pogba but let’s wait until he has played a few games in the Premier League, nah **** it he is going to be a superstar who’ll we’ll struggle to hold on to for more than a season.

Please let him score one like the second one against United in a 1-0. The analysis from the big six loving MOTD commentators as they have to praise it would be immense to watch

Absolutely! That second goal was CRAZY!
Gross, as good as he was at the Amex, away from home he was largely ineffective, mainly due to the lack of pace and support around him. I could see Propper playing slightly further forward and Bissouma rampaging through the middle.
