Donny van de Beek is leaving Man Utd and has been linked with us in the Sun, who say we tried for him in Jan. We also looked at him in the first transfer window after the takeover. Also says that he is open to the move.

He’s done nothing in 3 years - no thanks

He can fuck off. After Alan Smith and Nicky Butt, plus Duff and Geremi, I’m over Sinister 6 cast offs.

Surely even you couldn’t find the positives in this one ?

If someone who managed him for 2-3 years before Man Utd can't get a tune out of him then I'd assume he's a lost cause at the top level.

The likes of Guler, Scott and O'Riley,(who we've all being linked with) don't play in major European leagues, so fall into the bracket below Kone, Thuram and Ugarte in terms of pricing. You could probably pick up the three of them for the price of Thuram if rumours about his price tag are correct.

 

These are the types of deal Brighton are being lauded for.

As lauded as Brighton are they dont have Champions League football and to be honest i don't think they ever will. Yes they have a few quailty players but not enough to take them to the next step. We are in the UCL. We need players to be competitive in it NOW and players to get it again next season. We dont have time to use the transfer kitty on 4 or 5 promising players with potential. We need top quality establised players and maybe 1 or 2 high ceiling players.

You’re going to be bitterly disappointed come 1st September.

 

The club won’t be aiming to win the European Cup.  We won’t be buying players on that premise.  We’ll be taking advantage of the income boost to strengthen the squad.  We might sign one marquee player - but I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t.

We also need promising players. We don't have a squad, we have zero assets with any sale-on value and we cannot pay as big wages as top 6 teams.

Brighton have a few players that will almost certainly make the move to clubs who regularly play in the Champions League. Mac Allister won't be the last.

 

Of course a mix is the best way to go, but I've already seen comments (even on here) that we need to drop £200 million on players, players listed are often ones who have had minimal exposure to the Champions League (Thuram, Kone, Veiga, Maddison, etc).

 

The combination of data and good characters seems to be serving us well so I don't expect us to deviate from that anytime soon.

The one player who failed that I was gutted it didn't work out for here. Came across a good bloke, shame about the injuries.

Let’s face it lads and lasses, he’s either Modric 2.0 or a Thauvin regen. Do we roll the dice?

 

 

 

 

Thauvin had obvious talent.  Would have been better being managed by Eddie rather than an absolute roaster like McClaren.

I actually thought Donny looked like a really good footballer a couple of seasons back. Couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t given more opportunities at Man U but I wouldn’t go anywhere near him right now. Eddie is a master of bringing out the best in people and developing them but we shouldn’t be looking to go with work-in-progress / failed potential players unless there’s a strong case for it and with Donny there’s no case whatsoever

It also helps when the player actually wants to be here.

What was it about his banter Tuxedos with The Chancellor told you he didn't want to be here?

 

Most of that boils down to man management. Can't imagine McClaren being as personable as Howe.
