He looks to me like a 15-18 goals + 10 assists type of forward. Someone who could link up spectacularly with the likes of Nkunku/Mudryk/Sterling and our midfield. Not a striker who will bag us 25-35 like Kane or Haaland. I just want ANY striker we sign to be a proper footballer and not just a big lump who will be annoying as hell to watch with the ball at his feet. bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caicedo alone wont do it for us.. we need 1-2 more. Or are we going to play Hall and Gallagher in midfield? 🤦♂️ Soon we are past the day, if we havent past it already, where all selling clubs will look at us and see a lonely Enzo and quote us £100m for every midfielder we might be interested in. There's plenty of options. Gabriel Veiga. Rumours that PSG were close to signing him turned out to be false. Race is still open. And there's Thuram, Kone, Lavia, Amrabat, Barella (tough pull). Only Rice has gone off the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,790 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 If one of the Real Madrid boys are available - Tchouameni or Valverde, they're targets too. There'll be competition but we're in the fight I think. We have French, Spanish speakers and they'd walk into our starting XI Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lluubbeenn 188 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 If Real Madrid get Mbappe and we somehow get Tchou I generally get Makelele vibes. He could be transformative for the whole squad even though he is a lot younger and lacking the XP. Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s played in Italy since he was like 19 and is obviously comfortable there, why else would he of joined Roma and not a European/English side when he had chance to go anywhere he wanted on a free transfer? Plus honestly, I think this sums up where we are just now with the uncertainty as to how things could go this year. A 12th place finish last season may not appeal to some established European based players like Dybala, who has played at Juventus and Roma winning plenty of trophies. The Mourinho pull is always going to be there too, was a huge reason why he signed for Roma. He would of been a good signing though but sums up where our recruitment may be at when it comes to more experienced pros. Hence the continued links to u21s maybe? But regardless we need to start ramping up and getting in and about some midfield signings and fast. Edited July 10, 2023 by OneMoSalah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the continued links to u21s maybe? But regardless we need to start ramping up and getting in and about some midfield signings and fast. Even before the ownership takeover was completed last year it was reported that Clearlake's focus would be on building a young squad capable of being competitive. Last summer they went against their youth ideology with the signings of Sterling, Koulibaly and Aubameyang to please Tuchel but once they saw where that got us they haven't looked back. Since the sporting directors were hired the plan has been quite clear. It's a numbers game to try and save the club some money. Look to buy many youngsters on speculative deals before they make their final breakthrough and then just bet on enough of them making it big and end up having gotten them much cheaper than already ready-made players would have cost. Even the ones who aren't quite good enough for us can still potentially be sold for decent money a few years in to recoup some of the money spent on signing them. It's a bit risky and only time will tell how it goes. I personally haven't rated Poch that highly as a manager but for a project like this he can be a good choice. Even if he doesn't bring in the trophies, just having him develop this young squad for a couple of years could be beneficial for the club in the long run.

Mhsc 1,146 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Shame Dybala chose to stay, would have added goals and experience. He has been persistently injury prone and he / Mou have figured out an arrangement to work around it, I guess the lower intensity league plus the fact it is beautiful Italy is a strong draw to stay there and just enjoy football while he can. I am really hoping we see something concrete about Caicedo pop up today that implies it is done very soon... I like him but honestly if it will take up our whole team for 3 weeks at a crucial time like this I'd rather just grab someone else and work on this slowly in the background with no pressure as a potential added bonus but the pressure on Brighton to sell a player that wants to leave more than on us as a team in a desperate situation.
