Clubs that we can’t compete with will be crawling all over him. It sounds Atletico is the most likely club for him.

I’ve always liked Pedro but the story seems to be “Brighton will sell if they’re offered silly money”. It doesn’t look like a great opportunity to me.

Every signing they make I just wonder what happened to the 115 charges.

Surely we’d be better off pursuing someone attainable. Maignan would pick Chelsea over us.

I feel like Madueke has a higher ceiling than Elanga, but needs a lot more work to reach his potential. Overall I’d probably lean towards Madueke. I’m not really interested in Dibling, for the money mentioned you could take a punt on 2/3 prospects from abroad.

Amad will be playing RWB with Mbeumo in front of him. Frankly I don’t think Amorim’s system is going to work regardless of who they sign.

I appreciate him making the call early and hope he enjoys the money.

I’m not confident of us getting anyone in early. It’s no coincidence that the richest clubs are able to make their moves as soon as the season ends. Take Mbeumo, would he sign for us before he knows whether Man U will offer him one of their £300k per week deals? I doubt it.

He went to a wealthier club that is also the most successful English club this century, and can offer him first team football. We were never likely to get him.

I doubt I would be picking Quansah ahead of Schar next season. Are we looking for someone that goes straight into the first team or someone that needs a season of development?

Ederson has been looking poor and is getting linked to Saudi.

I don’t think Dibling showed anywhere near enough to justify the prices mentioned.

If it’s due to footballing reasons then I hope this has been planned for months. If they just found out that the differences aren’t reconcilable then that would be shit.

Fuck me

He can get a bigger contract there, he gets an easier path to the first team, and he’ll walk into the England squad as soon as he signs for them. He was never coming here.
