This one’s a bit gutting tbh - the kid looks class.

Yeah I think they will start to hit the Leicester problem soon. The more successful you are the greater your reputation becomes the more you’ll get charged and then your are only a few Patson Dakas away from having issues.

I genuinely don't think the model is sustainable over the very long term - say 10+ years (see Southampton and Leicester as you mentioned). At some point if you want to kick on you have to become adept at buying more established players in the 30-55m range and keeping hold of them (a bit like we're hopefully doing now).

It's not really a fair comparison. I think Brighton seem content to keep taking punts on lesser known players and flipping them for profit when the time is right. It only really becomes a problem for them when it consistently fails, or they overextend. It's much more of a club strategy, akin to the RB model, than using a transfer tactic to close a gap to clubs above. That club is built from the ground up to be a cohesive system. They're not reliant on any one player, manager, backroom staff, or DoF. They don't seem to be desperate to push on, break the top four, win trophies, etc. I'm not saying they don't want those things, but it definitely seems like their ethos comes first.

I'm not implying you need to progress from the buying wonderkids wholesale strategy to move into the upper echelons, more that you need to do it in order to insure against finding yourself in a relegation scrap after a string of deals don't work out - like Leicester. We've seen plenty of times over the years how precarious a place in the PL can be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
