kingxlnc Posted Wednesday at 07:56 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:56 Do many players leave Brighton and go on to better things? Serious question. They seem hyped in their moneyball strategy but other than Caicedo and even he was a slow burn, who’s gone on to great heights after being sold for a huge fee? Mac Allister was sold under market value. Bissouma and Gilmour and Ferguson are a few examples of those that have flopped or declined Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted Wednesday at 08:08 Share Posted Wednesday at 08:08 Btw why would Pedro be so expensive given his days are obviously numbered at Brighton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen a more obvious non-starter yet. It's just a really lazy story, as someone already said, only chance of this happening would be if Isak was sold, which isn't happening for another season earliest.

They’re going to push for the most they can get, but if it is a case that they genuinely want shot, it’s probably a position they can be negotiated down from.

I think lots of players get described with this dual ability but in reality they are usually just good at one or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many but prioritising a 10/9 when we have isak doesn't make sense for us in this PSR world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emery used Rashford as a 9 and it seemed to work well. But I think that was to mitigate his poor work rate on the flanks. I can’t think of manny attacking players that are genuinely great across the front line. Raphinha was great at RW for Leeds but found his groove at LW for Barca. But that’s a Lamine Yamal thing.

The College Dropout Posted Wednesday at 09:17 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:17 I know they ended up worth crazy depth. But Villa’s 4231 reduced the running on a lot of their players. Maybe we move to a style more like that. That requires at least 1 genuine 10 if not 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was them I would still want double what they paid though. Or close. Sell JP - Rutter main 10. Gruda as backup. March and Minteh on the right. The lad at Leicester still doesn’t have a squad number with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the 4231, particular switching to it in obvious passy situations like goal kicks where we're not going to be able to catch teams on the counter.

St1pe Posted Wednesday at 09:46 Share Posted Wednesday at 09:46 I really like Pedro and he strengthens the squad but for that sort of money he isn’t playing ahead of Isak. First signings should be RW and CB if they’re doing the transformative signings they were talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
