I don’t know what the clubs fascination with players from Brighton. If we get Caicedo still we should never look to do business with these cunts ever again, same as if we don’t get him

As long as they keep buying players better than the players we have, we'll be back. We have to beat them at their own game. On the flip side, if you are signing a contract with Brighton, based on their current behaviour you just know you got to force a release clause in there - otherwise they can and will fuck over your career.

They are in a difficult and very dangerous spot now because they are trying to transition from being the stepping stone club that know what they are about to being a club that throws its weight around at the big boys table and keeps their good players, but for that to work they have to actually hold it down, and push into top 4. Spurs managed it for a long time by forcing the like of Kane into staying and they could set themselves up for a similar run, or it could just all implode and they destroy everything they've built. Unlike Spurs they don't have a generational goal scorer carrying them so I am betting on the latter.

We’ll know how they operate and how to approach them. Whether it’s Boehly or Egbhali, having that relationship could give us a leg up on any future players we may be interested in.

But we are constantly interested in everything they own and will soon proceed to buy training equipment from them, yet we are getting shafted and price gouged on everything, so it doesn't go very well I guess. We built the mutual knowledge and the effect is that they know they can squeeze anything they want from us.

Noises are that we are trying to put a package together to get Mbappe- The independent are reporting this 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Potter and Cucu obv were absolute brainfarts. Caicedo might well be the real deal so could be worth it biting the bullet here but Sanchez is just an average goalie you have dozens of in Europe. No need to allow ourselves being bend over here again. How much are they even quoting?

Bar midfield reinforcement (Caicedo) I’m very happy with the squad we have. A Proper no.1 goal keeper would be ideal but it seems the club have other ideas. I just don’t want us to get into a situation where Kepa gets injured and we are struggling to find a replacement. Someone like Bono or Mamardashvilli make too much sense

@TheHulk is that something Spanish or is he really saying Mbappe? 🤣

I seen this banding about on various platforms, no idea.

[Pizy 18,888]

Our fans really have to let go of this Mbappe dream. We ain’t gonna spend £150-200m on someone who would be here for a year. And that’s only if we could convince him to come here.

And the idea of a loan that I see fans of other clubs talking about is even more silly. A loan does absolutely nothing for PSG. The entire reason they want him gone is so they get a massive fee before he walks for free.

Yeah honestly think the club is doing an amazing job now, took them time to get the right people in place but the people doing transfers now really know what they're doing. It may take another year to get the squad at the level needed but IMO no way it will be more than that, but the direction of travel here is clear - we are going to be a team contending for the title every year again at some point soon.

Am I the only one who doesn't even want that spoiled brat anywhere near this club? Surely not!

We're building a strong French contingent. 

If he came, we'd be the darlings of the EPL and everyone would want to be here in terms of big players. It would change the landscape very favourably for us. 

[Mhsc 1,097]

Mbappe on a multi year deal would completely transform us back into a side that regularly wins all sorts of trophies, and that absolutely everyone is shit scared of playing - well worth it imo, but we living fantasies if we think it is doable. Money involved alone makes it impossible. And he already has a sweet deal lined up where he makes a fortune from PSG and goes to Real for insane money. Had to gamble on him before PSG did in the first place if we ever wanted him here.

I think a lot depends on how much of an effect it will have on our incomings going forward. However, having a WC player join us really can't be matched and would potentially put us in the title race conversation, IMO.

[Special Juan 28,139]

Imagine we got Mbappe before Caicedo after all this🤣
