Correct. Before making a signing we should ask ourselves ‘would Brighton do this transfer’ and if the answer is no. Move on
With Bournemouth, I wanted Truffert in at LB last January and he was linked under Thelwell. Think he cost them under £15mil.
He's now 24 but theyre an interesting one as they went with 3 young defenders last season in Zabarnyi (another i mentioned) Huijsen and Kerkez. PSG, Madrid & RS now.
Milosaveljavic is playing CB for them and hes only 18. Very interesting recruitment and polar opposite to ours.
Brentford have Kayode who I also wanted last January.
Today i'd expect Truffert and Kayode to cost the best part of £60mil.
Not saying im a wonderful scout as some think i believe, just that these were quite obvious signings we needed.
The Welsh youtuber who comes up with tactics (cant remember his name) picked out Givairo Read from Feyenoord. I'd consider him as one of 2 RB signings.
Kinnear best be at it the moment it opens
Moyes now has hand picked people to join the management.
He's the decision maker with Kinnear only signing off on deals once Hammond negotiates the terms.
Eyes are on
Moyes.
