I completely forgot all about him!!! How's he getting on?

 

Finds himself struggling at Esbjerg in the Danish 3rd tier.

I've said it before and others have said it plenty but I'll say it again because it's so obvious and he would suit our midfield perfectly and provide experience/depth/cover...Gundogan. 

 

The fact he's out of contract in the summer is even more of a reason to go for him, I know he's coming to the end of his career but he's definitely got another 2 seasons minimum left in him at the highest level.

PL in general is light on Scandinavians. Used to be packed when I was a kid. 

 

Sure Southampton had hundreds of them

Supposed to be off to Barca I think.

Remember when people wanted him in the first team because he scored a few in the PL2

Took me far too long to figure out who was the other one after Haaland

based on Roma qualifying for the CL - he doesn’t fit our style nor will we pay his inflated wages - no thanks

Benny was quality throughout 89/90, especially late in the season. Started the next well too but 90/91 was a rotten season overall

We’ve obviously got Kavarodona in the bag.

[gbandit]

Who wants to join Eddie’s devastating mags?

 

Pedro to Brighton is such a smart transfer for them 

[STM]

It's almost as if Dan Ashworth brought his Brighton list with him. 

 

Na, fair fucks, he's a good fit for them.

Isak looking very good at wide forward there. He was our best player at #10 in the league cup final. We normally don't play a #10 and have many who can play in a wide berth. With Isak and Wilson managing fewer minutes between them than Harry Kane, I think we need forward who is better than a stopgap at CF more than a big name wide forward. We could have 55 or more games to play next season.

 

Buying the kind of dream midfielder, for me DMish but capable of deputising for Bruno, will push Joelinton down the pecking order, which is another reason to not buy an automatic starter at wide forward. Bruno out for a long period is the easiest way to derail a season, so we need an understudy. Anyone good enough to do it will be good enough for lots of game time at the expense of others.

 

Add an attacking LB and a learner RCB and its job done with four players.

This must be a record signing for Brighton. If this being done is true, for Watford to agree this early, the fee must be more than we offered last summer.

 

This also suggests we have moved onto another target, so I wonder who it is.

I agree about the solid midfielder addition who can deputise for Bruno or at least have that presence when/if he’s out and also allow him to move further forwards if playing together. It’ll be interesting to see who we get. As you say I think we bring in a starting left back, a pacey right sided centre half and another striker who may be able to play on the wing too. I do think we’ll also bring in another game changing winger in the Diaby mould. We need another goal threat who can win the big games for us. Maddison is the one name which doesn’t go away too.
