I'm fine with this keeper signing as i was with Postecoglou. We appear to be trying something different which was much needed. But to be fair trust has to be earnt by the powers that be after the last 7 years of appalling decisions and signings. Suspicions will remain that we're just cheaping out on deals because we've done a lot of that over the years. Are we serious about this data approach and really buying into it or just cospalying Brighton and Brentford as its trendy. Only time will tell on that but i quite like not doing the obvious. It used to serve us pretty well 10/15 years ago.Data deffo has its place - but so much of it can be scrutinised. Brighton and Brentford are in the fortunate place that they trust what the board do and fans don’t throw a hissy at signing someone they haven’t heard of
Raya conceded more long shots than any other keeper in the Prem.If we've both spotted this weakness, then PL teams won't take too long either. They'll target him with long range shots and have strikers ready for the rebound.
A shame as I was quite excited by this potential transfer, but now back to hoping Raya gets done.
Yep. 2 major red lines this summer were giving Dier a new contract and signing Lenglet. Do either of those and they havent changed and arent serious about improving.
All of them come from Barca…
Well then that would be brilliant.What if Vicario is the second coming of Alison?
Funny how some people always phrase it in the negative.
Empoli looking for Vicario replacements, if he is the chosen one, hope this is done fast

I reckon £50,000,000 gets Tapsoba.
I don't think we recoup that by getting rid of Dier and Sanchez. However, if we've saved potential £20,000,000 from not paying that ridiculous fee for Raya then it may be possible.

We haven't saved 20 mill if we were only prepared to pay 20 mill for Raya in the first place. We've saved 3.5 mill if we get Vicario for the reported 16.5 mill pounds
I read somewhere that Leverkusen will be looking for offers above 60 mill. Gvardiol seems to be the measure as Leipzig will only sell for offers over 75 mill. Leverkusen never sell their best players cheaply.

Looks like it will be done tomorrow.
Really comes off as a Fabio plate spin
Then we need to pay over 60m if he’s the CB we really need.
As much as it’s great using data to find good players and options like Vicario,
If the data also shows you Tapsoba is the one, have the fucking commitment to get it done.
Show some ambition
