That was fucking nuts. Loved it just as much as when it happened live.

Best of the 3, and that is by no means an endorsement.

The backheel for Isak is fucking outrageous. Outrageous.

I forgot about that ridiculous chip attempt by Schar

Fuck I love us so much.

That was fun!

Brighton's new Kostoulas kid basically plays as both a forward and a shadow striker, he seems like a Joao Pedro replacement. That position also has Rutter back from injury, Gruda who looked class in the final weeks, O'Riley too, while loanees Enciso/Buonanotte are coming back. That club loves depth and versatility.... I feel like they're prepared to sell him. Maybe £55m does it.

Highly, highly doubt Frimpong, Cherki's wages match our highest earners, even Reijnders i'd be surprised if it started at much more than 160-180. Our scouting system does not appear to be good enough based on last summer, hoping to Christ we can find some value, because competing in the league paying premiums for Elanga's etc thats hard enough. Europe we are so far behind the quality its staggering. Executive level has been shocking for a while, what the hell was the point of Ashworth and Mitchell, our scouting seems to be the exact same or worse.

Showing interest eh. How?

Nusa is dynamite.

Xavi Simons would be pure filth, but wouldn’t he cost a billion quid?

I think Eddie Howe believes he does though. We came close to signing him before we bought Isak. IMO the drop off from Isak to Osula is far greater than the drop.off from our midfield to Miley, Longstaff or Willock

Agreed - any credible links?

Isak will start 90% of the games, it’ll be hard to get a forward with a good goalscoring record to be a bit part player. Pedro would be able to play with Isak, or fill in up front if required.

Xavi simons would be a Game changer! Real classy player and adds that "Magic" to the attacking play

Pedro does look miles ahead, totally agree. How many non-penalty goals did Pedro score last season? Will a forward with that kind of record be an effective stand in for Isak? Just saying I'm not sure he would be. And for the money it would probably take to prize him out of Brighton.....

Osula? The guy who has never scored goals anywhere up to this point? Pedro is miles ahead of Osula currently and probably always will be.

Think an additional 5 + another 5 in add ons on each of those three deals gets them done.

I think that's my point though, I'm not sure Pedro does offer cover for Isak. He's goal scoring record (non penalties) was what? 4 or 5? I reckon Osula could that many, at least.

Ever dawn on you that you hate this forum and most of the people on it?

And that painting on the wall in the Big Joe picture is quite canny.

Juventus well and truly shat on there

I don't think they have a limit they will spend on any one player. I think we refuse to go above what we value a player at, still trying to train clubs that we won't be held to ransom for a Saudi tax. I think that 50/55m figure is more down to us knowing we need a few players and still having a limited budget
