During which they've achieved mid-table 😅

Said it million times perhaps, success was Leicester getting the championship, not lower-end team becoming mid for a season. 

6th place is not really a mid table tho.

Why?

If anything it's the dumb Brighton manager that deserves flak.

Not Caicedo.

I'm sure he means about manager.

WOAH! An Ornstein bomb out of the blue like I hoped for a week ago.

Kudus is an outstanding young talent who I would assume is an either/or option with Cherki. If you play with 3 in midfield he’s perfect for that #10 sort of area. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

 Nkunku + Kudus at CAM then.

He plays centrally and on the right. Would compete with Madueke and add cover to the midfield positions

Double digits goals in Holland. 4 CL goals, 2 WC goals... Constant goal threat, I'm sure he would take RW starting spot easily. Sterling is shit and Madueke is nowhere near that level either. 

[Pizy 18,368]

I’d personally prefer Cherki because I think his potential/ceiling is higher but Kudus is the sort machine-like athlete that should suit the PL instantly.

The question is: what would he cost?

Think the rumor when he was linked with Arse/United/Liverpool earlier in this window was like £40m. I could be wrong.

So kinda market value and not crazy like Anthony, would be refreshing.

Same league and weak foot as Ziyech I'd rather we get Cherki.

We’re correct to be weary about Ajax players from recent years but unlike Ziyech, Kudus is actually a phenomenal athlete and can run all day. He’s not a lazy bastard. And he’s also got excellent pace to beat players with the ball at his feet.

[Gundalf 804]

I think that is what Poch wants. Hungry, fighting athletes that run for their team - and I support that. Stop with that pseudo fancy "ballers" a la Ziyech, Havertz and co. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

Lol sometimes I will click and n the messages on tweets because the story continues there. Brighton fans are getting riled up by all this bs their manager is talking. I never respond but I will post this, it gets them all warm and fuzzy.

 

[TheHulk 1,855]

Tell him to leave Poch.

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

I watched a lot of Kudus in the Danish league, and a little when he played for Ajax, both those leagues are obviously not nearly the same level as Premier League. But I would not have the same fears as with Ziyech, at all. 

Is he good enough? That i am truly not sure of. Got a good technique and works hard for the team. I could see him work out, and would not be against the transfer if the fee isn't crazy.

Ofc he is happy here he earns like 5x as much a footballer of his quality deserves. Him being here is a an absolute glitch in the matrix. Any other combination of circumstances last summer and he would ride the bench for Brighton.

Or he would have gone to City and won the CL like Ake and Akanji.

Still, the inflation of this as some groundbreaking success last year was absurd. Overperformed? Yes, but the headline story and something to copy, especially by us for some reason? Hell no, it's not some kind of miraculous stuff. The most respect I have for people responsible for their transfers as they seem to have build up some decent and cohesive pack on budget.

Who do they think they are.

Shame we don't have Jose nor anyone of his character around anymore. He'd mop the floor with this fella and rub it in 5 seconds after it was published.

Wonder what happened with Veiga wasn't Ornstein who reported we were in for him.
