A Bundesliga title would probably mean as much as zilch for an Englishman i would think, but what do i know?!

Maybe it´s the CL trophy he´s after, not at all a certainty playing for Bayern is it?

Would be really dissapointed if Harry has fallen for the trophy obsession that is Twatter and journos these days! NO SINGLE PLAYER has the god given right to win trophies, it was a team sport last time i checked

I think years of the media obsession to sell Kane with the winning trophies line has got to him. I do think if we can get 100m for him it’s a good deal for us and we are not selling to a rival and I said at the end of the last season we had to start a fresh with a manager and players who desperately want to play for our club and Kane clearly want out either now or at the end of the season and I don’t want this media circus going on another year. Goodbye good luck and thanks Kane but sign a new contract or go

Me using the word "massive" is a tongue in cheek, direct reference to you using it fella.....

All I'm saying is that they are attempting to sign a player that was expected that join Chelsea, a very highly rated player. They are Brighton, who have had one good season, a club that usually works in a transfer market looking at players noone has heard of. Well now they are about to sign a player that most fans know about and rate.

It's got nothing to do with their sales or how much money they have, it's about the profile of player they have convinced to join them ahead of one or two of the traditional PL big boys.

It's got everything to do with that... They're rolling in cash.

They've done well to generate that cash and done well to convince him to come rather than go to a bigger club, granted...... But how do you then attribute that purchase as being an act of "ambition"? (Or maybe alternatively; how exactly are you defining "ambition" here?)

Is West Ham selling Rice for 100m and buying a player for a fraction of that amount "ambitious" too?

Was it an act of "ambition" that saw Southampton sell countless players for massive profit and replace them for a fraction of the amount?

It’s not necessarily a lack of ambition. They’re going to lose their players to teams higher up the hierarchy if they’re good enough — and attract players at their level (with potential to move further up). The same as us except we attract a higher level than they do.
Only apex predators don’t have to worry about losing players to better teams. There might be four of them.

No one accused them of a lack of ambition, mate.

Ambition that they have attracted a player of Kudus's calibre and reputation ahead of serious competition for his signature from other clubs. It's a step up from the profile of player they normally go for and sign. The club is going against its usual model of recruiting and it will be a interesting to see if it works out for them.

As you say West Ham are rolling in cash but they have no idea or plan on how to spend it. They are caught in the trap of wondering whether to spend the Rice money on improving multiple positions in the squad or going for one of two top quality players to go straight into the first team and up to now they have done neither.

Brighton are just a very smart and well run football club.

I think most of us knew that Richarlison was always an insurance policy.
Of course, one goal in the league suggests it was a bad policy.

Are you suggesting £60mil for a 1-goal-a-season striker is a bad policy???

:andros:

On a more serious note, i´m not gonna write off Richarlison as a bad signing just yet! I think he had a shit season with bad luck troughout with injuries galore and other shit happening!

Will be interesting to see what he can do with some front foot football being played, and if Harry leaves(god forbid) he will probably be the main man!

What i have snapped up thus far from Ange´s filosophy, i don´t think his system is as dependent on one or two players like we have been these last seasons
