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?

Todd is gagging to introduce slavery into the football association, think his favourite thing in life is owning people (owning in the traditional sense)

It would be nice if we could send our Greek lad to keep him company, we might get a tenner off the price of Pedro.

The Greek lad is having a medical at Brighton which you may speed this up one way or another

Guess we could finalise a deal where he joins the 1st of july or something

?

Pardew had so much much backing and some real quality players, look at what he was given to work with compared to say Hughton or Rafa. The second half of season we finished 5th he stumbled across a front three with Ben Arfa right, Cisse central and Ba left, with Cabaye and Tiote in the midfield. Then completely fucked it the next season by putting Cisse right side, dropping Ben Arfa and putting Ba through the middle. He was clueless as to what had worked and why it wasn't any longer. Was coming back from somewhere recently with a friend and they had that farce of a radio show on Talkshite on . He cracks on like he was never given any help from Ashley and was some kind of miracle worker. Hate the bloke.

Don’t think we want or even can pay £30million for him right now?

I'm guessing when they're both on the pitch it being a pretty fluid "front two" switching between Isak going left, Pedro going right.

Get him signed

Really pleased if this goes through. £10M more than we could've paid last summer but he's arguably more proven and experienced, plus he's seemingly improved since then so I suppose it's fair enough. Would be a great way to start off the summer signings. I'm happy to give a promoted club that money rather than any other Prem team.

Bailey so probably bullshit, but anyway.."Brighton & Hove Albion striker Joao Pedro is willing to play in a right sided role Newcastle United".

All fair enough - he was an obvious yes-man who only got the job due to drinking in the same casino as Ashley. But I still dislike Bruce, Allardyce and Souness a lot more. Difference between shit and shite, mind you
