Osula? The guy who has never scored goals anywhere up to this point? Pedro is miles ahead of Osula currently and probably always will be. 

 

Pedro does look miles ahead, totally agree.

 

How many non-penalty goals did Pedro score last season? Will a forward with that kind of record be an effective stand in for Isak?

 

Just saying I'm not sure he would be. And for the money it would probably take to prize him out of Brighton.....

Xavi simons would be a Game changer! Real classy player and adds that "Magic" to the attacking play

Isak will start 90% of the games, it’ll be hard to get a forward with a good goalscoring record to be a bit part player. Pedro would be able to play with Isak, or fill in up front if required.

Agreed - any credible links?

I think that's my point though, I'm not sure Pedro does offer cover for Isak. He's goal scoring record (non penalties) was what? 4 or 5? 

I reckon Osula could that many, at least.

I think Eddie Howe believes he does though.  We came close to signing him before we bought Isak.  IMO the drop off from Isak to Osula is far greater than the drop.off from our midfield to Miley, Longstaff or Willock

Dat sauce.

Xavi Simons would be pure filth, but wouldn’t he cost a billion quid?

Nusa is dynamite.

They aren’t mentioned for getting lower fees, the fees are irrelevant because we could never pay the wages the players would want. 

Highly, highly doubt Frimpong, Cherki's wages match our highest earners, even Reijnders i'd be surprised if it started at much more than 160-180. Our scouting system does not appear to be good enough based on last summer, hoping to Christ we can find some value, because competing in the league paying premiums for Elanga's etc thats hard enough. Europe we are so far behind the quality its staggering. Executive level has been shocking for a while, what the hell was the point of Ashworth and Mitchell, our scouting seems to be the exact same or worse.

Brighton's new Kostoulas kid basically plays as both a forward and a shadow striker, he seems like a Joao Pedro replacement.

 

That position also has Rutter back from injury, Gruda who looked class in the final weeks, O'Riley too, while loanees Enciso/Buonanotte are coming back.

 

That club loves depth and versatility.... I feel like they're prepared to sell him. Maybe £55m does it.
