Lot of risk that you do a cruciate and miss a year and then get a shittier deal and you have been able to get guaranteed money and a move for a long time. Kane basically behaved like that - presuming he could get a movw if he wanted one.After two years of piling up COVID losses, I imagine that there is going to be a very robust market for free agents this summer.
A couple of the top Serie A clubs, notably Juve and, I think, Inter have already adopted the pursuit of free agents as part of their business model. I always wondered why more of the top players didn’t let their contracts wind down.
Yeah, always some risk but higher reward too.Lot of risk that you do a cruciate and miss a year and then get a shittier deal and you have been able to get guaranteed money and a move for a long time. Kane basically behaved like that - presuming he could get a movw if he wanted one.
Be very wary of that binary metric win when he plays lose when he don't. Its a deeply unreliable way to work out a players quality. I've seen some frankly crazy people playing that game with Son and Kane. Lamptey as an attacking option for Conte even with his lack of height would be a fantastic option. Obviously Hakimi would be better but that's not happening. If either Emerson or Doherty we're better in the final third we would be deadly. Some how we need to find a peak Rose and Walker from somewhere. My personal choice is Liveramento, and Ridley Baku Right side left wing backs I just can't decide.That's it right there.
Jones is 5'11".
Lamptey is 5'5".
You really need to be a special player to overcome this disadvantage.
Brighton are 7-12-10 in the PL this season. Lamptey has made 22 appearances (13 starts) this season, going the full 90 in only 6 of his 13 starts.
Brighton are 3-10-9 when Lamptey plays this season, and 4-2-1 when he doesn't.
Agree, Livramento probably my #1 at this moment (excepting Hakimi which would be a dream). Baku and Singo are two I don't really watch enough of but would be interesting, hopefully the club keeps a good eye on both.Be very wary of that binary metric win when he plays lose when he don't.

Guys, what do you see as an option in buying RWB this summer? I doubt that Djed Spence, guy from championship, would upgrade our squad. Maybe a good signing for the future, but we must win now.
Maehle doesn't convince me this season, anyhow he would be a good player for Conte to work with. Lamptey has a lot of potencial, injury woes and height concerns me, but a good option for 30 milion. I think Brighton would be silly to turn down 30 milion, to be honest. I know that 50 milion has been mentioned, but right now Lamptey is far from a world beater.
Cash is another interesting option + home-grown. Atal and Mazraoui should be looked at too.
All upgrades on Emerson, but I don't see anything more in the transfer market that we can afford and is available.
Livramento is a talented guy, but probably KWP would give more impact to this team, if we are talking about the present. Sorry, but Doherty right now is a better player than Timo.
Wilfried Singo is an interesting choice. Played all season in RWB position, which is good. Only 21 years old. Still don't know if he would make a big impact all of a sudden, coming here.
That "player" would cost £60M+ and end up at Man City or Real M.Who are the top 10 attacking RWBs in the world right now? And which one is most available/best/gettable? I have no idea who to suggest unfortunately, but I know we absolutely need to be looking at the best possible target that we can afford- significantly upgrading this position would provide the most improvement to the team right now. I'm not sure Livramento or Mahle is thinking big enough in terms of right-now talent/impact. Imagine a marauding beast of an RWB like young right-footed Bale consistently tearing up the right flank and letting Kulusevski cut across the top of the box? Its a hell of a tasty dream!
He’sa very good player who I raced before Palace bought him, but he’s100% not a wing back and would be wasted away from the final third.

Agree with you on this one- I really rate him- I know many think hes a c***, but he could be our c***. And he could fill in capably anywhere along the front 3, and for sure would be an upgrade on Bergwijn, Moura or Gil.
