On shite players though

 

Surely we aren't in any position to criticise other fans protesting against their owners

Think we’ve got every right to point out the double standards after the majority of the media and other club’s fans (Everton included) harp on about our unrealistic expectations when we were criticising Ashley.

Fuck them. Nobody showed us any sympathy, still have people telling us every day how wrong we were.

Out of the fire and into the frying pan  At least Pereira has had some success in his career, even if it was 10 years ago.

Fucking hell… now it’s Sevilla, Lille, Man Utd, Lyon & Brighton who are really awful negotiators and always raise the price.

We sign this lad for central midfield and Doon’s post count is gonna plummet.

Will bring a whole new meaning to Sticky Keys.

No one has accused you personally of misogyny. That’s quite the flounce.
 

Yet you’re happy, without any proof, to say that Staveley is constantly leaking to the press. 
 

Many of us have noted that she seems to get a lot of shit and I wondered what was behind it when I think she’s done nothing but good for this club. 

Does she? I’ve not seen any specific to Staveley. Beyond this conversation I mean.

With those 4 I'd say 6.5/10 so definitely not a failure and probably just enough to see us safe.

 

Add a CB of Carlos/Botman quality and it goes to an 8.

 

On top of the above, add in Lingard and it goes to a 9. 

 

Zapata or an equivalent on top of all the above and it's a 10.

Would agree with this.

Gonna be mint when it comes out that Haaland has a Shola poster above his bed.

I don’t think it’s a bad signing. He’s looked solid whenever I’ve watched Brighton.

But I do hope this is in addition to a really good CB (Carlos/Botman sort of levels).

Maybe I’m just being greedy.

Why are Brighton willing to sell one of their first team regulars for such a low fee?

Yes, I’ve done it, I’ve changed the thread title.

I’m excited.

Got a bath pouring.

A decent scouting set up would be able to negate this in time once it's set up, I hope.

 

Paying £15 million to sign - let's face it - a player on the decline for 6 months is fucking mental.

We’ve just paid £25m for Wood for six months.

No way he’ll be any use to use next season, if we’re planning on staying up.

Was wondering what was going on with this. Have to say, looking at his CV I am not impressed at all by him. Can see them being in big trouble, just hope we start his reign off by trouncing them. 

He’s Moshiri’s unofficial advisor on footballing matters apparently.

Could actually take them down.

Not the first nor the last time I thought I had new friends and they all suddenly just leave.

To be fair, it sounds like Man United are being the unreasonable party in this instance.

A bit thick from them too. We don’t play them again this season but play all of their top four rivals. A stronger NUFC would actually be of benefit to them*
 

*this season

There it is, the universe balancing itself out.

Always a good sign when both the club and player involved are not dismissing things out of hand or blabbing too much. Nice

No mate, it’s Lyon.

Can't wait for the tweet saying its been rejected. 

What time tomorrow, do you reckon?

Extra points for naming the journalist.

11.07am, Waugh for me.

Pete is just bitter.

Is he not just saying his info is that the bid has not yet been accepted?

Fanny absolutely desperate to be a mod

I just look up to you as a hero, tbh. Everyone has role models.

It’ll be an honour to see the thread title changed to: 

Bruno Guimarães: signs for Arsenal (Various)

Fuck it, I’m always one to have a positive outlook!

ge are obviously legit.

Welcome everyone, take a seat. (And learn to pronounce his name ->: https://voca.ro/19XpgEYGcpJf)

That’s all guesswork really. I’m sure tarkowski was linked here before howe was even appointed 

Absolutely, but I think his record on signings is questionable regardless.

Probably why I was so keen to have a DoF etc. in place.

Given our two primary CB targets were Botman and Carlos, I can't say its that concerning.

I was referring to the fact I think Howe is the major influence in terms of deals like Wood, which is a shocking signing at £25m.

Botman and Carlos were our primary targets but it is concerning if our backup targets are people like Tarkowski and Phillips. Again, I may be wrong but potentially Howe-led.

Given how much say Howe is having with recruiting our scouting team, I would be concerned if that’s the case.
