Cost 30M or less Why does it have to be a 20 a season guy? Stevie wonder could scout someone with better finishing then adams. like I’m saying if we blow 30m on another two unnecessary players that’s plenty enough to be signing a quality striker we need to get our priorities right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Behind Enemy Lines Posted 23 January, 2023 Share Posted 23 January, 2023 9 minutes ago, revolution saint said: Care to point out when Ralph said he had a long term injury? If he had said that then no one would have questioned the situation but he didn't. In the absence of any information on his injury, it was entirely reasonable to ask questions about him not being selected or playing much at all. NJ mentioned it over a week ago, that’s what I read on here. And even after that, people were still questioning why he wasn’t picked. Things get lost on these threads sometimes. I can’t point you to the thread or date though sorry. I just know I read about his injury here and the club didn’t want him playing through pain or injections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought Che Adams from Birmingham after they had finished 17th, and Adam Armstrong from Blackburn after they had finished 16th. They might be capable of scoring at that level, but would our defence be capable of restricting the opposition ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 23 January, 2023 Share Posted 23 January, 2023 After a days work, you find the only news is Jan Bednarek has been recalled. FFS. A leader, a voice, aggressive. We’ve got the wrong player. An overly passive, self-inflated egotistical knobhead full of mistakes and shirks the club paying his wages to sit on the Poland bench is the correct description. Villa couldn’t believe their luck getting him off the wage bill. If only Arsenal would recall Maitland-Niles. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All IMO and I know I'll be in the minority saying it but I get nervous watching Lyanco. He is better on the ball than Jan though and hasn't pissed off the fanbase yet.

Footballers live in big closed off mansions and spend their time on their PlayStations, Netflix, committing sexual assault or betting on horses. Whether their mansion is Hampshire or Sussex (or Cheshire or Staffordshire or Worcestershire) not that much of a difference. London clubs more attractive than playing for Middlesbrough or out of the way Norwich but between Hampshire and the county next door? No mate. I appreciate what you are saying but I do happen to believe that broader lifestyle has a role to play in decision, and these football robots also have families too. A location is not the only reason but it is bound to be a factor. I appreciate that money will be the biggest driver and they can go anywhere they want but I think it is more nuanced. And I know, I know, we don’t do nuance when judging player decisions. What location does impact is how many wealthier people live in the place, having better and richer companies based there who might help corporate sales, sponsorship revenue etc. This won’t be as much as a betting company but it will be a marginal gain that everyone gets so excited about. Then that club can pay a little extra to a player, or just have better coaches, other staff who support the players etc. Who knows if I’m right. Who knows if any of us is right. What we all know is that we don’t score enough goals and let in too many, and hope that a goal scorer couldn’t give a shit whether he’s in St. Tropez or St. Mary’s 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft Kerplunk Posted 23 January, 2023 Share Posted 23 January, 2023 Just now, CB Fry said: I agree with the general point but I think you are overplaying how much better Brighton is vs Hampshire if you are a millionaire. It’s not that much better. Marginal. Livramento for example chose us over them. True and I think perhaps it’s not as important for British players and there isn’t much difference between locations. I wonder if it different for international players, who have grown up with more importance on food, closer communities and the like. Having more social opportunities with likeminded people, or who speak the language will probably help make them feel more comfortable with a place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he’s useless on the ball and slow so not exactly suited to playing the high line Ralph wanted or passing out from the back as Ralph wanted. In short, the worst possible fit for Ralph’s system. He might do better in this system … but the one place we’re leaking goals is marking at set pieces and he’s not exactly a man mountain. Like your positive way of thinking. I'm now wondering if he might be better in the air than Lyanco and DCC? Knowing us, he'll come in, we stop conceding goals from set pieces, but goals will leak in every other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Matty 76 Posted 23 January, 2023 Share Posted 23 January, 2023 Incredibly uninspiring move, especially for that kind of money. 4 goals in 50 career first team appearances.
