KingArthur

He is nowhere near 100 million player. But Liverpool most likely dont pay what we would ask.

Nikko Boxall who starts at their CB was playing in the Finnish league couple years ago. Nothing special. Now playing against Bayern.

Ayari has looked decent the few times I have seen him

I dont think ManU are after Gyökores. And I dont think he would move there either.

Still all the PSR aside, we are not spending 200 million. If a major sale happens then maybe.

That would cost something like 200 million. There is more of chance that Mackems win the league next year than we spend anything like that.

If it is less than the amortisation value that is left, it doesnt. Same reason we cannot sell Vlach anywhere.

For PSR profit I meant.

Most of these are leaving on loan. You are not selling Höjlund or Onana for profit. No one touches Rashford or Sancho. So you save some of their wages.

Yea I agree with Ikon that it is much more than just breaking the low block, cause it is about controlling the game against teams like Everton and Fulham who want to frustrate and try to nick a goal. When you control the ball and push them back there is a long way to counter. Similar what Pep has done to Howe many times. And doesnt mean we try to play 5000 passes a game, cause that is not Howe’s style. But crossing more often than not leads to losing the ball and we chase it again. We need quality footballers on the wings, not runners.

We have to everytime we go behind at home. And we have struggled to do that under Howe quite a few times. We need attacking players that win their duels 1v1. Murphy and Almiron for example dont do that. That is why our attacking play too often is about crosses. That is not a very good way to break low block.

The thing is these Elangas and DCLs and Pedros have been playing in EPL for long. We have seen them and I at least think they are nothing special. Is it wise to spend 60 million or something on Elanga? Is he kind of player that takes the next step here? Does Pedro break into Brazil team here and got 10-20 goals a season? Greek lad is a lottery ticket, but Brighton are pretty good with these picks

Yea, that is what I am wondering. I would think he starts at RW and drifts inside. Hopefully he is not seen as a Isak replacement.

He has changed to some games or because of injuries. His go to plan is 4-3-3. If he buys players that suit totally different formation, that changes all the pressing and defending and everything. I don't see the point in buying Pedro unless it is that we are trying to take advantage of his situation in Brighton and him wanting out.

I dont think there is a team that pays 70-80 million for Gordon at the moment.
