[PhilM]

Would like us to sign Gyokores.

And if we can offload Keane, Holgate, Davies, Maupay

Then bring in
Another left back
A centre half
A ball-playing midfielder
And a wide player who can create/go past players.

And adopt Brighton's way of working and bring in unheard of players and make them world beaters.

We can all live in hope.

Twenty-one goals and twelve assists isn't a shabby return, so you'd hope he could do a job here. In terms of what we need, I think we need to be realistic.

This will likely not be a summer where we bring an abundance of players in, therefore I'd hope the club are prioritising where we really need to strengthen.

We need a striker first and foremost. With Mina leaving and Coady likely not to sign, the centre back position is going to need strengthening, substantially.

You could talk about cover at left back and right back too as we can't go into a season with only one recognised player in each position - it's negligent.

However, in terms of the first XI, I think we need to add more creativity and width. So, in this order: striker, CB, versatile defender, midfielder/winger.

Looking at the best players from the championship from this season (excluding ones that got promoted)

Joao Pedro - Watford
Manning - Swansea
Akpom- Boro
Hamer-Coventry
Gyokeres- Coventry
Fleming - Millwall
Clarke - Sunderland
Atkinson- Bristol C
Cresswell - Millwall

Pedro signed for Brighton already mate.

Alex Scott is the one we should be looking at. Gyokeres if not already at West Ham.

We will have a transfer ban any minute !

 

[Loz]

I’d sign Coady on a two or three year deal. Better than Keane or Holgate and puts himself on the line. Works well with Tarky too and they look comfortable together.
I’d also have the Coventry striker Gyokeres as we can’t rely on DCL to score even if he gets fit again. Need goals from a forward line, not just from midfielders and defenders at set pieces.

Would she leave her presenting role Dont think we'd get the Bristol City one either..

[Timhowardsswearbox]

Free agent

​

Houssem Aouar​

should be in a farmers’ league.

 

[Paulie]

You know the way James Garner is a good football player, can we sign a few more of them please?

 

[hktoffee]

Run on limited budget.

Ins:

Coady £4m
Gyökeres £17m
Richy (loan with option to buy)
Tierney loan with option to buy)

The Kean money is in. We should get fees from Holgate, Nkounkou, Maupay and Gomes.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Will we even be allowed to spend money.

I just said on another thread that we might see him as a long term replacemnent for Coleman at RB/RWB.

He was superb there yesterday.

The lad seems suited to that side.
