Roman assembled the likes of Terry, Cech, Lampard, Drogba, Essien, Ballack, Cole yet you think Sanchez and Fofana are monsters.

I noticed many in our fanbase have started to shit on Roman more and more with each passing year, making it sound like these guys are building something out of this world.

Terry and Lamps were already there and yes we were lucky to have such a strong core of players. But there were also like a hundred flops... Want me to list them? This is actually normal for every club... I wouldn't swap our attack and midfield for any other in the league. Ffs we just became World Champions and u want to change the owners, board, manager...

We’re literally going to either completely fund United’s move for Donnarumma which massively improves their team or pay for a massive chunk of Baleba who also dramatically improves their team by giving them £40-50m for Garnacho.

All I’ll say is that whoever is pushing this signing within our club better hope this move is Cole Palmer like and Garnacho blossoms into a monster. Because this could go down as a ridiculously stupid transfer in so many ways otherwise.

I am ok with that, to a fairly significant degree. 

I am NOT ok with this:

This is the problem I have, since it's obvious he is coming why not wait until very late in the window to get Garnacho and block United from reinvesting that money. Also in what world we need to make sales for Simons but have no problem getting Garnacho done immediately, unless that deal will be 25-30m which I highly doubt makes no sense.

Nkunku is in Sterling territory for me. 
 

Just an asshat who wants things all his way. 
 

Brother - you don’t even try when you’re on the field here. You haven’t made a good showing of yourself for a CL team to take you.

Carney also doesn't want to listen to any offers from any club outside Dortmund, like dude you played less than 400 minutes in total, get a grip and be open to all options.

Good player. I'm surprised she got so few minutes but we had seven or eight centre backs on the books and a very promising teenager who already starts for the Dutch national team has arrived this summer after being signed and loaned back to PSV last year.

I think this is a good signing for Brighton and I hope we have a buyback. Bright has reached the veteran stage, although Buchanan extended last season I can't see her staying beyond her current deal, Nouwen has left, and youngster Akpom isn't showing any signs of earning first team minutes. I can see a situation where we will be shopping for CBs in a couple of seasons so a buy back in Mpome's deal would make sense.

This Garnacho stuff is crazy to me.. it really is quite bonkers. Good player but why not focus on a CB. We could literally be on the verge of competing on all fronts with a top class CB and GK. How strange do you want to be?

I resigned myself to the fact he is coming and I will back him fully until and if he proves he is not good enough.

I hope he DOES become a monster (monster in a good way, lolol)

I'm okay as long as he doesn't influence the rest of the squad in a negative way. What we have building right now with Palmer, Pedro, Caicedo & co. is special.

The sooner Garnacho realizes that his shenanigans won't work here, the better.

[Blue Armour 4,710]

If UEFA FFP rules are going to be a stumbling block, I hope the club at least takes a good look at the loan market or free agent list to add a quality CB to the ranks. Problem is that we really need a starting quality CB. Tosin and Chalobah can do a job, but I wouldn't yet back them week and week out against tougher opposition.

The only one that comes close to that when fit (besides Colwill, if he keeps his form up), is Fofana and even he's a big question mark.

Curious case of Garnacho !!! 
The club is taking a risk going after someone like Garnacho but I feel the risk is justified.

The way we're doing business, he fits the bill. 

• Get in a player u23. ✔️ 
• Talented and Hyped as the next best thing.  ✔️ 
• Lower wages. Mostly  ✔️ 
• Bonus: Premier League proven. 👌

Garnacho surely has talent minus his antics, if we is able to perform on the same level at United... he can be sold for a decent amount which would be pure profit. He might not work for our current system but hey not all players we take are picked on that marker. I feel it is a win win for the club.

It's exactly the same as the keeper situation, why we aren't in for Donnarumma is mental, same as Garnacho situation.

Sounds like Garnacho will be done in the hours/day

If the Maignan deal fell apart over 4 million, what makes you think Donnarumma was going to happen? 

Hate to say it but Sanchez's cwc performances seem to have earnt him another season as #1

Thats why the Guehi deal would have made sense, Palace are pretty much confirmed to lose him before the window closes and he's a former youth product. 

Just watch Liverpool wrap it up for 35 million in the next week or so.

Two completely separate entities and also quality of keeper. In a world where we have Gittens, potentially Garnacho, George, Neto etc that can all play there and still looking to add Simons we can't talk about sense when trying to add up between a bid for Maignan and going for possibly the best keeper in the world.

Why aren't we interested in Konate? Who had one year left on his contract.
