Potter is definitely gonna have a crack at him. Ofc it wont work. Potter is not even able to motivate the moderately sized egos of our current squad, how is he gonna handle one of the biggest dumb egos in football? But from a pure self-serving perspective Lukaku has to give it all if he is only remotely interested in retaining somewhat of a reputation and legacy in football. If he fails in English football for a third time and just sits out his wages, he will be the new Winston bogard and his respectable scoring record will go unnoticed forever. Probably he does not care tho. Didn't we just bring in some ego/mentality coach? There is no way he stays if we want to build a healthy dressing room.

Vesper 30,161 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) The £613million reason Brighton are surprising Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and more Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton sit sixth in the Premier League table, ahead of the likes of big-spenders such as Chelsea and Liverpool, and they do it on a fraction of the budget https://www.sussexlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/brighton-Chelsea-liverpool-manchester-united-8130666 Brighton are continuing to punch above their weight this season, despite spending a fraction of some of their Premier League rivals. The Albion sit sixth in the table, opening daylight between them and big-spenders Chelsea and Liverpool, who are ninth and 10th respectively. Now new figures have shown how the Seagulls are doing more with less. The CIES Football Observatory has broken down the net spending (including add-ons) for transfers over the past five seasons and while it makes for fairly positive reading for the Sussex side, the same cannot be said for the Blues, Manchester United, Arsenal, and more. READ MORE: Alexis Mac Allister issues clue on his Brighton future amid Chelsea and Arsenal transfer links The figures state that Chelsea has the most negative balance since the 2018/19 season with a deficit of €749million (£663million), the Red Devils are second at -€670million (£593million), and the Gunners are third at -€544million (£481million). Jurgen Klopp's team, who lost twice to Roberto De Zerbi's men in January are are five points behind them in the table, have a net spend of -€313million (-£277million). For Brighton, their net spend is at -€56million (£50million) - that's a whopping £613.5million less than the Stamford Bridge side. Incidentally, in 2022/23 the Seagulls have a positive net spend of €104million (£92million), which is the best in the Premier League. Contrast that with Chelsea, who have a very negative balance with a deficit of €620million (£549million) this season, and United (-€240million or -£212million), newly-promoted Nottingham Forest (-€229million or -£203million), and West Ham (-€207million or -£183million) have been the most lavish in this regard. In recent seasons, the Albion have signed Kaoru Mitoma, Alexis Mac Allister, Tariq Lamptey, and Moises Caicedo for under £15million and they have sold Marc Cucurella, Yves Bissouma, Dan Burn, Neal Maupay, and Ben White for more than £150million. This makes the club's success all the more remarkable. The top 20 spending clubs via net spend since 2018/19, according to CIES: Chelsea -€749m Manchester United -€670m Arsenal -€544m Tottenham Hotspur -€477m West Ham United -€435m Newcastle United -€422m Aston Villa -€370m Wolverhampton Wanderers -€355m Juventus -€337m Liverpool -€313m Fulham -€271m Barcelona -€257m Nottingham Forest -€246m Leeds United -€242m Southampton -€237m AC Milan -€227m Everton -€219m Paris Saint-Germain -€202m Olympique Marseille -€192m Bayern Munich -€170m Edited February 9, 2023 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't have it easy if he'd now go to other club I guess. Anyway, it's hard for me to believe he is "not good enough". There is clearly something very wrong going on with him. Maybe he doesn't like the team, the manager or England or can't deal with the tempo, but he is rather closer to top of the best defenders list, not bottom, even though he is having a shocking stint here.
