The thing is all the players we have bought in the last couple of years have been bought to sell on for profit, sell when the market is highest, Doucoure and one of the CDs for 140/150m is a lot of money, invested in the right 4/5 players for the same reason, and it is possible we can challenge for a top 8 finish, without a sugar daddy, you could call it the Brighton plan. I was very much under the impression that was the plan. From my relatively ignorant and anxious viewpoint however, that plan does not sit well alongside what already looks an incomplete squad to me and my lack of faith we will move for more 'gems' in the Transfer Window or general lack of trust in us getting any reasonable volume of transfers done at all. I still fear hypothetically that Lerma is a Doucoure replacement as we'll sell him with the board relying upon Richards being fit to fill a Guehi or Andersen size hole, Tomkins being wheeled out of the retirement home occasionally and the money made seemingly going elsewhere. Meanwhile we'll sign the 'Lithuanian Maradona' to replace Zaha who'll spend the season on loan to a third tier Latvian side. That's just me and my fears however!
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

most of the youtube clips show him playing wide, lots of Pace and skill, over 6 foot at 19, and right footed. A lot of the YouTube highlight compilations of him contain comments that there's highlights of two different Flamengo players Matheus and Mateuzinho (or something like that) included. So just be wary of what you watch! I hope our scouts have been watching the right player haha

True but ideally you don't want to have to sell all players in one window. As it leaves you with too much to do and not enough time plus you're likely to be held to ransom as clubs know you're desperate to find replacements and they know how much cash you've got. It is however as you say the strategy we've opted for and a sensible one for us but if (big IF) we did sell Guehi,Doucouré, Andersen in one window that'd leave a mighty hole in core positions. Despite Brighton being further along in the development in this plan I think they may struggle having their core ripped out with McAllister and Caicedo leaving even though they'll have a hefty transfer budget. Edited by samprior (20 Jul 2023 8.50am) I agree, only 1 player sold in this Window, see how we are doing in Jan, if we have sold one hopefully the new signings should be assesed and if all is good, one then, but never Eze.

I don't want to sell Geuhi as I think he is a future England Captain but I fear that Chelsea's need for a CD and the price they would potentially be prepared to pay may be the clincher. I wonder if we would take a swap deal with 2 of Colwill Hudson-Odoi, Hall or Broja coming other way plus a little Money? Geuhi could be part of a bidding war which i think will end up between 60-70 million. to me I think any of those players would be first team starters and mitigate to an extent Geuhi. My preference would be Colwill and Husdson Odoi

My preference would be Colwill and Husdson Odoi I agree and posted something similar on the Odoi thread. I didn't include Colwill as I think there's zero chance of them letting him go. Although I like Broja i think he's gonna be like Wickham and his body is not gonna cope with the rigours of top flight football. Therefore 40m plus odoi and hall is what I'd ask for. They have money to burn and a squad to shred so think it'd be possible.

Liverpool quite serious about Doucoure but want to pay more like 50mil. I think it's correct enough for us to ask for 70. I'm trying to think if they would give us a player as a make weight on the deal. I can imagine us selling for 60 odd, as being pragmatic, we'd have Lerma and Hughes. Also Francs can play there, apparently - if we do get him. Although if he'll go straight into the side seems questionable to me.

Nice one YT. That must've been an awkward call from his agent. Lol. Not a lot of people know that in the cinema trailer for The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Lee Van Cleef (as Angel Eyes) was referred to as 'The Ugly' and and Eli Wallach (as Tuco) was referred to as 'The Bad'. This was due to a translation error. The original Italian title translates to: 'The Good one, the Ugly one, the Bad one'.

According to click bait PSG are now after CD, I don't want him to go but if he must let's have all the big clubs with deep pockets fight over him. FYI

So with Franca deal completed & Zaha about to be confirmed we will now turn our attentions to a Striker. Gray is still in advanced talks also. Striker from Montpellier will be amazing if we can pull that off.
