MaVilla Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 we really need a bit of the Brighton bug.... When you look at some of the quality, or potential quality they have bought..... Cucurella - 18m, Mitoma - 3m, Caicedo - 5m, Trossard - 16m, Bissouma - 17m, Mac Allister - 8m, Gross - 3m, Lamptey - 1m. Hopefully we are half as intelligent in the next couple of windows. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is most of our fans would have turned their noses up at most if not all of the players mentioned above before they established themselves at Brighton.

Brighton spent 71m on these 8 players, from 1m to 18m (Cucurella - 18m, Mitoma - 3m, Caicedo - 5m, Trossard - 16m, Bissouma - 17m, Mac Allister - 8m, Gross - 3m, Lamptey - 1m) we spent 83m on 7 players as follows: Traore - 18m, Wesley - 22m, Nakamba - 12m, Trezeguet - 10m, El Ghazi - 9m, Engels - 8m, Jota - 4m. i know which of those two lists i would prefer.....in hindsight, and its not like most of our signings listed above were "exciting signings". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in a way we are doing a Brighton as we’ve picked up a load of very talented and very promising academy players already. The one thing I wish we’d do more of is explore markets that Brighton recruit from, your Argentinas, your Brazils, Asia, etc, etc as we’ve really struggled with this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point but I don't recall many of our fans getting excited about most of the players on that list we purchased either. However comparing quality of both sets it's clear who comes out on top!

S-Platt Posted November 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2022 Brighton and Brentford buy players for a system and coach them accordingly that's why they look great at those clubs but struggle sometimes out of it. I think now we have a proper coach we will see thar difference in our players and signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about this list for 87m? (Locadia - 17m, Jahanbakhsh - 19m, Bernardo - 10, Montoya - 7m , Izquierdo - 14.5 ,Pröpper - 8m , Matthew Ryan - 6m, Karbownik - 5.5m) Like most clubs, Brighton have scouted and bought some good players, they have also bought a load of crap as well. Just to play fair, a list of players we've signed for a similar amount of 89m (Dendoncker - 15m, Kamara - Free, Martinez - 17m, Cash - 15m, Mings - 22m, Luiz - 17m, McGinn - 3m) Which list would you pick?

duke313 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 While we are on the topic of Brighton, I would test their resolve to see if Lamptey is available. Also, Ghana has some seriously good young talent in their WC squad: Mohammed Salisu (23) Mohammed Kudus (22) Kamaldeen Sulemana (20) If Southampton get relegated, Salisu will probably be sold. A left footed, tall, pacy CB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A left footed, tall, pacy CB Tariq Lamptey? Who has missed 36 games to various injuries in the last 18 months? Wouldn't be worth half of what he'd cost us.

burchy Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 If Southampton go down I’d look at Livramento as RB cover and send KKH out on loan again. Frimpong’s doing well in Germany as well. Vanderson at Monaco looks good too. For LB can we try for Alex Balde at Barca please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a superb player and I think he'd thrive up front in our system. Wages etc. would be an issue.
