[Albion] Ze Luis - offer rejected

[Icy Gull]

Is it OK to get a bit excited about this rumour?

 

[OzMike]

Has decent pace which is a what NSC has been crying out for.


Don't forget we need a striker and an Izzy Brown replacement.

Shop dummy could do that job.

 

[Hyperion]

Based on nearly everything I get my hopes up on usually turning out to be bullsh*t, I’m calling bullsh*t on this rumour and claim there is no truth whatsoever in this transfer rumour. There, that should do it.

 

[Machiavelli]

Described as a "wall player" - lots of assists but not a natural or indeed an out-and-out goalscorer.
He looks a real asset for what he could bring to the team.
But we need pace and we NEED someone to score goals

He's more than a wall player, he's got pace and can run behind. His goalscoring record isn't amazing, but it's by no means poor at top-flight level, running at 1 in every 3.5 games -- there aren't (m)any strikers in the bottom half of the PL with a record that good.
If he costs £20m as reported, I think you'll have to accept that there won't be another.

II MUST be true - he’s a brighton player on Wikipedia

It says he plays for English club Spartak Moscow.

Yeah get with it Grandad, the cost del crime is so last year, now the English Gangstas like to show off their wealth by buying Russian Football clubs....

He'd add some style to our front line

No, not in the slightest. This is us were talking about here. Even if true there are so many ways we could **** it up.

Might get on well with Jose by the look of things.........

 

[GreersElbow]

Hope he leaves and leaves a nice newspaper advert saying сука ебать, иди нахуй to the fans as he leaves.

 

[Bob!]

There's an Aeroflot flight from Moscow due into Heathrow at 21.05.
Who's on airport duty?

 

[djentist]

Has he played more than 32 minutes, this season?

The fact that your only defence mechanism for him is about Baldock's fitness, rather than anything he might actually offer to our team differently than Baldock says it all. 20 million for someone marginally better than him, if at all, and seemingly the exact same sort of player, with the tagline being that he's fitter. I'd rather us just go for a loan or some dull hard brexit signing like McGoldrick if that's all our ambition is, and work with what we've got with Baldock, save some money for if we go back down and have to work within FFP due to our losses.

Given that he’s never played in the Prem and Baldock’s never played in Russia,how do you come to the conclusion that he’s marginally better?
Wouldn’t you prefer two quick forwards to relying on one who spends roughly half of every season injured?

What else is there to go on?
I'm not an expert on Russian or Portuguese football, I'll hazard a guess neither are you.

Personally I'd much rather SB was an option this season, but he hasn't been and only the most shortsighted optimist would have any faith in him going forward.

Clearly the ambition isn't to get relegated as you would prefer, but as it's always been, ambition and reality seem to be poles apart.

If this fella has been targeted to come in, there's nothing from the Summer business to make me think he's 'marginally better' than what we have already, esp as he is already proven to be considerably fitter.

 

[supaseagull]

Why?
Price tag seems to be £20m. 15 in 55 for Spartak.

From 5m Euro to 22m. That's quite a jump.

Limo waiting to drive him to Selhurst. They sign expensive players in both windows.
