If we have no player join for starting 11 and that first game goes a bit petevting the away fans will be giving it to levy big time. Although I still maintain surely Munn is also culpable as he is head football ops. He knows what Ange wanted and hasn’t delivered as far as we know for the club to sign off on.
But we got MADDs in well early. Johnson was last day job at inflated price. So someone at the club must have pushed for it. To me that must have been Ange otherwise he could have said let’s leave it for now.
Unfortunately the whole season hinged on Maddison, when he was good we were good and when he was bad we were pretty bad too. We definitely need another player that can pass like him as cover. Maybe Bergvall can be that player.
...and Eze on free kicks!
Honestly, I don't obsess about the fee like some.
Most of the best players we have seen play in the last 15/20 years have not been expensive and a lot of the expensive ones have been shite.
For me it is all about fit for the system and can they cut it in the prem.
Solanke ticks both of those boxes.... I don't particularly want to spend time for a striker to adjust to the pace and physicality of the league and whilst Dovbyk had a great season, who knows how long it will take him to get going here.
I’d prefer neither but if it had to be one it would be Solanke. Although he could be one of those players that does batter at a smaller club given he sunk under the enormity of going to Liverpool. Where it was another data bod in Michael Edwards etc who picked him up. Does he show well in the metrics over what’s on the pitch. I probably need to watch his goals again to see. I do remember one game where we beat Bournemouth where he was really good and should have scored against us. He looks dangerous in the box and of course has had a good upbringing in the chavs academy. He should be good.
Although all summer (and even last) I wanted Toney in to replace Kane. I just think he does all kinds of finishes when you watch his goals and he’s very clinical.
I just don’t trust buying goals from the Portuguese league. Midfielders fine, but not strikers. It’s a bit like how I am unsure of buying attackers from France, the defending looks so bad.
Finance it externally - or ask Joe for a loan
We seem to have the same problems we had at the end of the season. No back up to VDV unless you count Davies, no back up to Udogie, although Ange tried several options during preseason. Maybe we have sorted the back up to Maddison. I cannot see these problems will be dealt with as we need all our resources to sort the lack of fire power up front.
I have seen more hopeful reports that we will get someone in but with no pre season with Ange will it be after the International break in September that we start to see him functioning as Ange wants.
Sometimes when we play a bottom half PL team we come up against a good striker and I wonder how they got him, ( afforded him). VDV was unknown to me and has turned out a very good buy. Our Scouts should be able to find someone that fits the bill and he should be here now.

Abraham is a poacher, when I’ve watched him he’s nowhere near as well rounded for touch, hold up play, passing or link up with teammates
I get your point we still need Neto and probably another AM type. Ideally we should be able to fix mutiple positions not just one.

I like Ederson who can play across midfield. Any ideas, was thinking Ugarte but United seem to have him in their sights.
He’s a complete prick but a very talented prick. My guess is he’s the next big sale for Brighton. Him or Adingra.
Need convincing of him, been injured quite a bit and wasn’t always that impressive when I watched him but don’t know enough. Didn’t stand out like how Ugarte or Ederson did but again just the eye test.
I get Onana is divisive but he is hyper energy, if we are looking to hold a press, win a battle and cover ground he would have been decent. That was a good signing by Villa.
how are these cunts still buying
Ugarte to United seems off, they don't want to pay the asking price (around £51m apparently).
