12 goals, 8 assists in 2600 minutes? XG90 0.34 XA90 0.21
Guy can play across the front three. High percentile for various metrics (v Forwards - not quite so god, but not bad v AM/Wingers)
Not top of my list, but miles more interesting/versatile than Kalimuendo IMO.
Because Vicario is not great. Makes some good saves (most keepers do), but does plenty of stupid shit and isn't great with his feet either.
Hopefully a loan for Alfie as well. We have not seen him in a spurs shirt really. Other expensive youngster have had far much more game time but not our academy. Looks a very good technical player reminds me of schokes the way he strokes the ball. We really need to see our academy given a chance. You know in 5 years time we will be buying them back to meet HG quota.
Name the last time we bought back one of our academy players.....?
Peter Crouch?
Maignan isn't all that anymore, would rather we keep Vicario for the season, if he actively wants to give then go for Diouf of Stade de reim
Restes will be top top tier and good with his feet too
Edit - Going to put Sancho and Malik Fofana on the list. Sancho is the much younger, better output, less wankhorny version of Grealish. Malik Fofana (20yo WLF) mentioned him previously on little looks, but didn't think he was ready for the big movie and to put into that pressure, but if Chelsea are sniffing round him, then we probably should be, as he'd be value, mainly because he's still raw. We are offing Werner, Son, Richarlison - I think we need decent dribbling bodies on the RWF position, which is why I'm adding Sancho and this kid to Mitoma.

If we can get him for the money quoted, then he would be a bargain.
Talented player, and under Frank he would thrive.
Stiller or Baleba are just the ones we should be going for. Top priority is a number 6.
Don’t get why no one’s after Minteh or Mitoma. Both good players. Though I’d prefer Eze, I like the Brighton pair better than any other 10s we’ve been mentioned with.
We should be buying them back, but we are more likely not to be, and being forced to throw comps as a result- as was supposedly the case this past season.
If we could get one of Stiller/Baleba and Minteh/Mitoma would be amazing.
Minteh has four years left on his deal and Brighton would want a king's ransom. They think he's about to have the season that sends his value to the sky and they may be right.
Mitoma is 28 and has a worrying injury history. He's class though.
True and Minteh would be my choice of the two. Brighton are a selling club, trouble is we’re not a buying club (well not of any significance)
KWP on a free gives us an extra CL player. 4th choice FB, can play either side. No brainer.
I see we are being linked with Richard Rios. Is he a 6 or an 8?
Watching some of his highlight vids on YouTube I can see why he is being compared to Dembele.
