The College Dropout Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 1 minute ago, Andy84 said: Brighton will decline imo. You can’t keep losing players time and time again, eventually it will all catch up with them. Some of the players sold aren't that good, and they've been able to upgrade. The key is keeping the managers who get these performances out of them. I like Mitoma a lot. But March has been just as productive. how much is down to the ability of the individual player?

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Not downplaying how decisive Brighton have been so far, but they’re going to lose Mac Alister very early on in the window and probably Caicedo later on. Not surprising they’d secure some targets now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Doesn't seem that long ago we were saying similar things about Southampton. Or Leicester. I remember multiple articles writing about how well Swansea were set up with their "culture" able to see them through changes in playing staff, managers etc. Brighton have done fantastically and deserve to be where they are, but it's not easy to maintain a constant top four/six push and plenty of clubs have failed trying it.

Just saw he was linked and when looking at the two, I noticed how poor Diaby's defensive numbers were in comparison, so just wondered if that might be something taken into consideration.

SUPERTOON Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Feel like these latest Brighton signings seem very much unbrighton like. Maybe a shift away from the norm under de Zebri? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I'm still not 100% convinced on Diaby. He obviously has bags of potential, but his game is largely based on pace and finishing. I'm not sure that's what we need, especially in a league where he won't get oceans of space in behind. That's not to say he won't be a good player, it just it feels like we need someone with a bit more creativity against the low block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier League tends to be quite open and high tempo so he would fit well I think. However, having seen a fair bit of him now, I know what you mean. I think someone that plays with a bit more subtlety and 'cuteness' would be nice. Wouldn't be upset about Diaby at all though. The news that Spurs might pass on Kulusevski has me all in on that move now. Especially for around £30 million?! That would be an unreal deal. The thought of him joining us instead and going on to be brilliant, and so making a fool of Spurs would be incredible. Would make up for the whole Modric fiasco.

pecsab Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Hello, I'm Hungarian, I've been watching Szoboszlai's every move for five years. I'm biased, that's the only reason I watch RB Leipzig's matches. Szoboszlai shows the beauty of classic football, combined with today's speed and power. Watch it on the video sharing! Newcastle is a fantastic team, I would be proud if he signed for this great team. Buy him, you won't be disappointed! We wish you the best of luck and a successful appearance in the Champions League!

LionOfGosforth Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Whoever we do end up signing, the most exciting thing is you know they're being signed with a plan in mind, for EH to work with them and develop them and to augment the quality we have. It won't be haphazard and without any forethought or planning like the entirety of the Ashley era. That's what excites me the most, not so much the specific names we're linked with. It's so nice to have real trust in the club these days on a sporting level. Edited May 12, 2023 by LionOfGosforth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Hungarian press, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, SSC Napoli and now Newcastle were the strongest. One thing is for sure. Szoboszlai is not moving because of the money, he is not interested in that. The challenge is what attracts him. He wants to win the Champions League, that's why he only goes to such a team which one is participating. If RB Leipzig fails to win the right to start, it will certainly change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Wasn't sure where to put this but thought folks would enjoy the story of the ridiculous rise of Gift Orban over the past year, as he is gaining a lot of hype in Belgium at the moment. It's an incredible story really, and one that almost didn't happen. I know there are so many guys like this that didn't quite get the right break at the right time and fell by the way side.
