Feel like we'd have more luck with Fofana to be honest. Brighton have already sold Bissouma and Cucurella this summer they have no need to sell more players this summer that they want to keep.

The club's mouthpieces and PR department need to be better at selling the nonsense that they are perpetuating. Rather just say that the manager screwed the pooch. His massive ego thought that all he needed was change of personnel in attack rather a complete makeover of his tactics and our mid.

This isn't Brighton, players have to produce from the get go.. they don't have time to fall around all over the pitch and miss endless sitters. I get you have an agenda against all decisions made and don't get me wrong, I question many of them but let's not criticise decisions that were necessarily taken for the greater good of the club.

Tbf, the only person Auba has ever had an issue is Arteta. He has been producing for Barca. I will wait and see what he brings. If I am understanding the price 18m pounds for three years is 6M a year? That is a pretty safe punt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its as safe a punt as Ross barkley was. Hell he was just bought in for 15m right? Now we cant off load him, have to give him his wages etc etc. I see pretty much a similar scenario playing out here. Just because the money is 18m, does not make it a safe punt. It can end up costing us a very bright player in Broja and then chasing our tails with 50-100m punts on the moratas and lukakus of the world. Even the 18m is like 3 or 4 times of his actual worth. Its an absolute worthless deal. manpe, Boycie and Blue Armour 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even De Jong himself isn't really a DM. The genuine DM like Tchouameni and Kamara got snapped fast by other clubs before we can even act. comprehensive DMF list, including youth prospects Blue bold are the doable nows, Kouadio Koné is the way to go for me, he can play anywhere in MF, super athlete Declan Rice Jude Bellingham (not really a DMF, but can play a pivot, we MUST move hard for him next summer) Nicolò Barella closest thing to Kante Frenkie de Jong Mikel Merino Marcos Llorente Wilfred Ndidi Sandro Tonali Rúben Neves Kouadio Koné Teun Koopmeiners Guido Rodríguez Douglas Luiz Ismaël Bennacer Weston McKennie Martín Zubimendi André Zambo Anguissa Leander Dendoncker Danilo (Palmeiras) Julian Weigl youth Khéphren Thuram Manuel Ugarte Samuele Ricci Lucas Gourna-Douath Ivan Ilić Aster Vranckx Raphael Onyedika Noah Mbamba 17yo on Club Brugge Marco Kana Edited August 22, 2022 by Vesper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone we have will be a worldie. Deals like Lukaku are what will hurt us. If the manager wants to take a punt for 6M a year in the way prices are now, give him that. This is Tuchel's request, if enough of them do not work, he will answer for the deadwood. Boycie and bigbluewillie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already have a deadwood named Lukaku on our books. He is not OFF the books. Thats 20m per year + 6m per year. How many more of such duds can we keep in our squad? You think we will be able to afford ANOTHER striker if (and when) Auba does not work. Also, I think TT first needs to answer for Lukaku. RL was bought with his go ahead. I think its high time we stop collecting deadwood strikers. Boycie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we can get another striker without a 6m per year player blocking that. Lukaku is a different deal altogether. It sounds like you have an issue with Tuchel. Seeing how he is about to sign for another three years, that could get awkward supporting the team. bigbluewillie and mkh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
