If he doesn’t work out, not the end of the world! Good signing - low risk, high upside and low wages so easy to flip.
Now let’s pay up for Eze, Mbeumo, Wharton, or whichever first teamer Frank wants
So we just saved £60m on a Guehi transfer so all we need now is Simons, Eze, Tyler Dibling, Wissa and that chap from Rennes. 250m should do it !!
Guess we’re going to Japan for a preseason in 2026 then. We’ve got to milk at least one Asian country and prepare for life after Son. When I mean life I mean Levy’s commercial and replica kit sales. We sign a Korean and a Japanese youngster to try and replicate what we did with Son all those years ago.
Virtually all of replica kit sales goes to Nike. That's what they pay the big bucks for.
Playing Devli's advocate, how much have we spent on non-first choice CBs in the last couple of years?
Vuskovic £12m
Danso £21m
Dragusin £23m
Phillips £2m
Takai £5m
Imagine the CB we could have got for £63m?
Not sure it works like that besides Gvardiol and Baston immediately spting to mind, two players who would have most probably been a similar fee if not more who both turned us down.
If Brighton signed this kid half of you would be whinging why can't we do deals like that.
Ohhh hang on ..they did already and look how good he's turned out to be ?

Post moved to Clutter.Blimey and I thought I didn’t like them
I know it doesn't work like that, and in general I am on board with the club's approach, but it is frustrating. Especially if we come up £5-10m short of what it'll take to get a first team upgrade player like Eze or Mbuemo.
It will be interesting to see who gets in the squad alongside Romero, VdV and Danso out of Davies (past his best), Dragusin (injured), Vuskovic (unproven) and Takai (also unproven). And that is not counting Gray as a CB (which coudl turn out to be his bets position). I would imagine it is only a matter of time until we sell Phillips and Dorrington as we've now blocked their route to the first team.
Could this be an indicator that Frank intends to play with either 3 CBs in a 3-5-2, or 4 CBs across a back 4 (which he has mentioned Guardiola has done in a progressive way).

Interested to know if you objected as vociferously to the Dele Alli and Lucas Bergvall signings?
This the kind of signing people need to STFU moaning or taking the piss about.
Aren’t we continually saying we wish we had scouting departments like Brighton? Get in talented players before they become £60+million pound ones?
Maybe this happens with this guy. Maybe it doesn’t.
But it’s £5m. It ain’t breaking the bank nor is it (or should it) stop us spending elsewhere.
Hopefully he is or becomes the real deal.
End of story, goodbye, the end.
Notice it’s the usual suspects coming out with the whinging or comments they think are ‘funny’.
Waaaa statement signing Waaaa

I actually don’t mind the strategy at all- just wish we had a coach that could actually develop them, and would actually play them.
...and interested to know how you can possibly wake up and stat the day so angry?
One of the greatest myths in football that’s commonly believed. Imagine if that was really the deal; Nike/Adidas/Puma etc paying some of these clubs tens of millions a year, for years at a time, to make their kits, only for the clubs to keep the bulk of the money from those sales? Real did a blinder spreading that narrative after the Beckham deal tbh.
