Don’t think that’s an issue for us…. Just bring in Devine, Scarlett and others as squad players

Its a massive issue for us and already we won't be able to fill all our spots in CL because of it so some senior players won't be registered for that competition. PL rules are different so we aren't as bad for that but it's a real issue for us in Europe so the more players we can sign who are HG the better
Mbeumo isn't homegrown.

Brentford about to be my second favourite club
Depends on who we sell.
If Son, Richy and Bissouma all leave, we will be fine to register whoever we sign
I'd be really pleased if bissouma moved on. Thought he was excellent at Brighton and he is great when he's focused. Trouble is his focus doesn't even last a complete match nevermind a season.
Not sure he's the right player for youngsters to look upto either he seems too much of a wild one to help nuture them.
An unmistakable leader in cm is a must this summer otherwise come champions league against the big teams we will suffer.
I do love hjulmand and he would be perfect but I don't think I can get past the tattoo haha

If Son goes and we swap in Eze for him then on the pitch I think we have done well.
The fanbase has been brainwashed over two decades by Levy to think we are poor.
We could take out a £60 million loan to pay it if we really wanted to.
Eze and Mbeumo are very different players and don’t fix the same role. Eze is a number 10 and will be competing with Maddison, Mbeumo is a RW so will be competing with Johnson.
I would personally say we need both an elite attacker (we don’t currently have one with Son’s decline) and another AM but seems like it’s going to be which transfer is more doable.

Let's be honest, we aren't spending that type of money on someone who's 27 in a few weeks.
Club Trained players are the issue, not HG. With Solanke, Johnson, Spence and Maddison our quota of HG that are not CT players is already filled.
Hence for CL squad it doesn't matter whether we buy another HG (but not CT) player or someone from Europe. They will all count as overseas.
We need a cover left back, makes Kyle Walker-Peters a good options
I would honestly be happy if our window was
Eze
Mbeumo/Semenyo
DM (hope our scouts have been looking well)
Kyle Walker-Peters (cheap and club trained)
I assume we are selling the below anyway so that’s a good chunk covered and on top I think we could see another few out of the door.
Solomon (£20m)
Bissouma (£15m)
Son (£40m)
Eze
Mbeumo/Semenyo

Why do people keep mentioning Kyle Walker Peters? He’s so bang average at best! Why don’t we sign Sessegnon back too! Sign a player because he’s club trained even though he’s not good is bonkers. The same people who mention this moan about how our squad is shit when we have injuries and have to play these types.
You’d take that all day. Rather have 3-4 sure fire first teamers than 6-7 punts. The club will go for the latter though. We won’t sign Eze, Semenyo or Mbeumo imo.
I was thinking about him - but even with his CT status - i would pass.
As FB we have: Udogie, Spence, Porro and Gray as an option (plus in theory VdV). Think Spence as major cover for both LB and RB is enough. Especially since under Frank fullback role should be simplified.
Only addition i would consider here is either LB/LCB hybrid, or someone like pre-injury Rico Henry (dynamic left footed guy who can cross). KWP does not fit any of those profiles.
Fuck that kid
