Nice goal really. Very calm and composed. With his pace he will cause all sorts of trouble. Even quick and good defenders will find it hard against him I reckon. 

 

 

 

Aye he’s got confidence and composure front of goal. 
 

I really like this kid man.

You just have to wish him luck other than when he plays against us.

 

Ideally miggy/wilson/targett/longstaff all left first and he was given a chance. But no one desperate to break the bank on any of them. 

 

If he does go on to start most games and get into double figures of goals and assists you just have to take it on the chin. Similar to how I am sure man.city feel about palmer. 

 

We got good money and if he is a super star I don't see him sticking around Brighton long term either. 

 

It's more painful because he plays in a position we needed and cost us relatively speaking buttons. 

 

I am sure if given him, Bruno, isak, Gordon to lose instead of it is an easy choice.

This thread will be bumped by the same dullards every time he does anything isnt it? Owt to have some ammo against the club, let it go man

Why does it have to be ammo against the club?

IMO Minteh is the only player other clubs genuinely wanted for a good price bar the Golden 3. So we had to sell him. I don't like it but we didn't have a better route at that time so I understand.

 

I'm still keeping an eye out for him and hope he does well. It will burn if he goes on to do well. Doesn't mean I'm using it as ammo against the club... we can be mature about things.

Stupid, twatting PSR bollocks - he's going to tear it up but needs must due to the stupid rules.

 

Hopefully we have a buy-back clause or big sell on clause?

 

 

For the fee we got, I doubt either was included.

Definitely wish him all the best and hope he tears it up.

 

It's not his fault players are having to be traded around like objects, a system I dislike.

 

Yes, yes, it needs to happen, that's why we need an improved academy as well etc etc. So, I should just grow up.

 

Well, no I won't. At least the point of an academy was originally to bring players through and see who makes it, with the rest (including those who just don't fit what your team needs) finding their way elsewhere with your best wishes. Likewise, bringing in promising players to go on loan and see if they'd make it, is fine too.

 

Just maybe, in this case, we already decided he wouldn't make it here, in which case fair enough. Doesn't quite feel like that, but I may be wrong.

 

But in general, turning youth players into commodities doesn't sit right.

Same amount of goals as Jacob Murphy so far in pre season

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with similar numbers at the end of the season either. A handful of goals and assists amounting to a decent contribution sounds about right for both.

Yep, I liked him too, mainly because I saw finishes like that in his other videos.

 

I think it would be a good idea just to lock this thread and throw away the key for everyone's sanity.

I fear it could turn out to be a massive mistake to sell him, but howay it's one goal in a friendly against Kashima Antlers. :lol: At least wait until he's scored a few in the league before we start jumping the gun about him being the next Salah.
