Not counting injured Madders, Drag, Takai and Kulu we are 13 NHG and 6HG in the EPL squad of 25.
UCL is 18 NHG and 5 Association in the max squad of 21.
(Both totals include Solomon).

In my heart, agree with you. But I'm increasingly wondering - especially when it comes to the highlighted part - whether we need to recalibrate our perception of what our real level is.
Some chairman just don't know when they have a good thing. Nuno is a great for for them.
Bale - Punt on a very highly rated teenager - not that expensive.
Modric - Who else was in for him? Newcastle? Shirts taken off the value of the fee.
Walker - Signed along with Kyle Naughton as a punt on youth.
Porro - Big fee, how long did it take to sort again?
Romero - FFP dodginess with Juve/Atalanta
Sarr - Punt on youth.
VDV - Last minute success from an unwanted (and with a poor injury history) player at RM.
Son - Was a gamble at the time on a young Asian player.
Dembele - Release clause.
Toby - Contract expiring.
Jan - Contract expiring (Ditto Eriksen)
Yeah, hard to spot a pattern if you're fucking thick.
Raheem fucking Sterling 
I’d rather have Geoff Sterling

So a nothing answer, and your call for an honest debate was a lie.
99% of people have no real understanding of climate change, but have enough common sense to that what we are doing isn't good.
I don't need to have extensive knowledge of football transfers to know that our approach is woeful and embarrassing.
Nice attempt at trying to deflect from some uncomfortable truths you don't want to face.
You can see why Levy sticks to his model. Produced some of the best players in the game.
Is NKudo still in a travel lodge near the M25? Might be worth a punt?
Well that can work any which way one chooses
Arguably hard to say there have been much better in the respective positions some played in.
Now he can list the utter fucking lemons they spent millions on instead of spending a bit extra on fees/wages to get actual quality.
Capitulation wrong word in my view
Played well for most of the game and deserved our two goal lead but conceded two late goals and lost in a penalty shootout to one of the best teams in Europe!
I was proud of our boys even if some ‘alleged’ fans on here weren’t!
Me lol.
I gave an answer about what I thought our transfer strategy was, and your response had nothing to do with what I said.
Your first point was this
Answer me this, what's the point in a strategy, when the guy involved has such an ego, that he needs to win every battle, that strategy becomes irrelevant? Twice this window Levy has embarrassed the club with has transfer negotiations.
Do not gaslight me, i am not an idiot - you did not enter this discussion with any desire to have a conversation - just to push your own anti-levy, agenda with 'facts' that you have concocted in your head so you can make sense of the feelings of disappointment and possibly to comfort yourself from the banter you feel from other football fans, as to why we don't get the players you want us to.
And your comparison to climate change is frankly ridiculous.
When we pushed the boat out a bit on a player it didn't usually end well either ... Ndombele, Sanchez, Lo Celso, Soldado ... even Gil and Sessegnon (though that last one might just have been unlucky, there was definitely a player in there).
Got berbatov as well.
Yeah doubling down and not signing anyone - perhaps an upbeat message from the chairman in the programme
Yours, Daniel
Nah, us fans don't need to recalibrate anything. Levy does. If you want to deliver Brighton-level signings, then charge Brighton-level ticket prices.
We play in a £1bn stadium and pay £1600 for our season tickets. We have every right to demand a squad with more established players. If Levy wants us to sit in the stands and watch youngsters learn the game, then he should be charging us 75% less.
Oh of course. Few better than him.
It works enough of the time. It needs to be backed with big fees for established talent at the right time. The flaw is that it hasn't.
