Think I'm rating him adequately.
Brighton had a peak season, he had a peak season.
If he's amazing in 2 competitions next season then we can see.

The new Joe Rodon.
Completely agree. There’s better, doable upgrades out there than Dunk.
I've deliberately stated Winks and Tanganga there because that's their level now.There’s a reason swap deals don’t happen in Eng. I dunno what that reason is thoughI assume the swapper has to be willing to take a step down which limits these deals? Tangana may be open to Leicester but I doubt the others would, poss Sess
I'd be surprised if Japh wouldn't be interested in a move there if he got more game time and he would.
Are you saying Dunk in doughnuts out?
I wouldn't want him at Spurs but he's more than good enough. Peak season or no peak season he was easily one of the best performing centre backs in the league last year.
Issues with that:
Deadwood doesn't see themselves as deadwood, most joined a team chasing champions league so won't see themselves as a championship player.
Levy also has unrealistic ideas of the value he can ask.
The fact that it's been so slow on outgoings isn't a great sign.
These clubs generally want £, they'll trust their scouting to bring in younger players, with higher potential and on lower wages. As opposed to trading in the likes of Winks, Sanchez, Sessegnon, Dier who are over 26yo (excepting Sessegnon), have little resale value and make 50-100k. Why accept our unwanted players when Wolfsburg can sign some lad from the Belgian league who could be worth 30m to them in a year or two, and will be paid 8-12k per week? I do think Tanganga will have interested suitors, but he's another one we've not acted decisively on, poor lad hasn't played regular games for years now.
I expect Winks probably sees himself as having a chance of breaking back into the Eng side with regular PL games. Don’t see him dropping down unless it’s a six month loan tbh. Agree though, let’s get creative to move players on
It doesn't even seem to be a good deal that occurreed with Gil, one that we did a part exchange plus £30 mil IIRC.
You are writing Gil off already?
Not ready to write Gil or Sarr off yet.
No, I'm just thinkiing that we haven't got much out of Gil so far for the money, and I'm not sure he's suited to English football, isn't that why he went back on loan? A bit like Lo Celso.
We def haven't much out of him I agree there.
The constant managerial chaos and flip-flopping from play style to play style is what we can thank for that.
He def wasn't suited to Conte ball. Ange? maybe... he's really good 1v1 and at his best out wide. Also great engine and tenacity to press.
And you sound like a wind up merchant
Exactly what an entitled person would say.
It's slow on outgoings because of two things ;
1) Everyone knows that we're desperate to offload.
2) The players we want to offload are shite.
People keep saying Levy is asking too much, but the fact is that we haven't had an offer for anyone of these players.
If we get an offer, they'll go. If they have one year left and we have no offers they'll be released.
The same way Doc and Aurier were.
Yes he might be better with Ange's style of play but that's not why we bought him, both of Paratici's manager appointments didn't suit Gil, so the question is answered there, he wasn't a good purchase.
And as if with every new manager, he might want to see and judge everyone himself. I reckon there maybe one or two we thought were done here that may end up surprising us as squad options
Under Poch, we had alot of deadwood that ended up staying in his first season. Barring Livermore who was sold early on in the summer window, we pretty much sold anyone else in the last week of the window once Pochettino could determine whether or not the players were good enough for his system.
