The Prophet

Brighton fans don't think we'll be far off with the Pedro bid, but they need to mitigate Watford's sell on clause.

Probably because he's a bit shit?

Aye, we're at the table for all three but still haven't agreed a fee. He's just stuck some numbers in there.

Same problem.

Dat sauce.

Been linked to Giovanni Leoni of Parma in the Italian press. Both Milan clubs are in the mix for him.

Do Burnley need to sell to comply with PSR?

Any updates on Elanga then?

A blast from the past.

Is this what we've come to Fab?

Tenuous link to Tapsoba.

The irony is they probably will across the board.

First broke by King Ryder.

Whoops * Maasten I meant our Anderson. Fair enough on Johnson.

It happens, but it's quite a rarity. For those games it'd be nice to have something different on the bench to change shape or dynamic.

Off the top of my head... Kilman Master Anderson Johnson Rutter All went for hefty fees.

Where we stagnant v Everton because we have too many "pace merchants" or because our front three looked absolutely gassed and we had nothing on the bench?

Completely agree. Our execution of Plan A will continue to improve with more quality depth and options off the bench. As you say, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't look to be flexible or ignore players who are comfortable on the ball, but a new GK, RCB and RW improve Plan A without reinventing the wheel.

They'll get him if they can raise the dough...
