Yeah, would be great if we could get someone in that can feature anywhere across the front line. Both Gordon and Barnes really didn't look convincing enough on the right and it limited us so much, as we couldn't really mix things up and play them together effectively. Would be amazing if Pedro can play on the right and be productive, and make that position his own, while being able to fill in elsewhere. Villa used Morgan Rogers behind the striker, left, right and even as an 8 in central midfield and he always caused problems and was a threat. We could really do with some more players with the versatility to be a threat in different positions. Starting with that pesky right side.

That’s right

Why wouldn’t we be able to pay £30M now? If you mean in PSR terms, that would only cost us around £0.5M this year, right?

Saudis need to step up and triple those "out" prices

Undisclosed, believed to be £20m

Now that's interesting.

Almost feel if we sign this lad we are probably going to have to generate some significant funds from somewhere aren’t we considering the other positions we need to cover?

This is the kind of content I live for

That wasn’t the fee we signed him for though - look at the records

Don’t worry, @Alan Pardew, I’ve grown to like you since you left us

That’s incorrect, if we sold him now for £10m we would show a £6m loss due to amortisation

fluid front 3 is the way to go, it's mad to think some of these footballers now are so one sided.

In real terms it isn’t as we have signed and sold around him anyway

Weren’t Espanyol rumoured to be coming over for a friendly?

Care to give your reasoning? His current book value is approx 16m.

We need to flip him as a PSR deal. Pay 15 mill more for someone and send him the other way for 15 mill.

This is untrue.

Lloyd Kelly derby? ⚫️⚪️

Same with his weird obsession about bringing a left back on as sub. It must have worked one time and he kept repeating the same "tactic" over and over despite it never working again. He had no idea what he was doing.

Do think it’s key that the RW can play multiple positions for that to happen. Gordon will be first choice LW and we know he has some positional fluidity but we’d probably need a more versatile RW to make that work

We won't sell Vlach for 10m because that would be regarded as a loss for PSR purposes which would make our situation even worse. He basically has to sit on the books or go out on loan until his book value depreciates more.

Doubt it speeds anything up tbh, Brighton will sell anyone regardless, as long as their demands are met.

Howe has said PSG were one of his favourite teams to watch last season. Wonder if we’ll see a lot more fluidity generally in the front three regardless of who signs?
