Summer 24

CPM

Rice has a ton of other strengths that work nicely at 6 though. It all depends on combinations. A lot of the time Rice played 6 last year was with an unconfident Havertz at LCM (not to mention a weak left side and ineffective Jesus/Nketiah up front).

Rice-Merino-Ødegaard could be a great midfield, with Merino taking more responsibility for some of the simple buildup passing. Rice will also become a more complete player this season.

Kel Varnsen yeah and he’s also a bit of a scurrier. We need someone who can run big. Sane fits the bill

CPM

Sane is too old for us I think at 28 (and turning 29 in Jan), he would be that classic big fee / big wages / big ego player that Edu/Arteta have steered away from.

Gazza M

CPM he's a man united type of buy.

est

He's also shit, so that would be a bit of a downside.

lorddulaarsenal idk why but i believe this.

Decent talent, versatile, Brazilian and great age profile.

Coombs

lorddulaarsenal very, very interesting.

MistaT

lorddulaarsenal — not sold on Pedro, and I don’t think he offers anything more than Jesus.

Seems to only score penno’s

CPM

Yeah, he definitely fits the mold. Interesting link. Brighton bought him for around £30m though, don't see him coming cheap.

Doc

I like him

JazzG you should have seen my eyebrow rise in skepticism reading that first line.

On Isak

Transferee window ends in a month. Given that many top players are still literally on holiday, I think it goes long. But I’m watching for the following

does PSG sell midfielders (eg Ruiz)
Can Barca complete Williams
with all these young forwards, does someone have to leave Real Madrid
what’s happens with Napoli / PSG and how desperately do Napoli need money fir, e.g., Kvaradona
what is the ambition of Newcastle and its expensively acquired assets - Isak, Guimaraes
what is a phyrge?

Is it just me or does Saka's picture get used an awful lot around negative football headlines? getting a bit ridulous.

IBL "Content creators" (it'd be flattering them to call them news editors, no offence to any actual content creators here) who don't mind the prejudiced configuration if it bumps the "impressions" by miles ...

JazzG

Yup happens all the time.

Joao Pedro is an interesting shout. I need to watch more of his highlights/every touch clips from the last two years but I was impressed with him last year in the limited looks I got from watching Brighton. He reminded me a bit of a bigger Gabriel Jesus but I may be off base there. He also seems like a bit of a late developer as I remember him joining from Watford but then taking a decent amount of time to start making an impact at Brighton (initially I thought he was a flop but admittedly wasn’t watching him game in and game out). The game I remember from this year was against Palace where he scored a great goal combining with a midfielder outside of the box before scoring on a first time trivela finish. If that’s the type of player he is, there’s definitely a spot for him in our attack. But I worry that his production is stunted by him being a penalty merchant as I seem to remember him scoring quite a few this year.

Interested if anyone else has seen a lot of him and if he’d be a good option here. I’d imagine his price would be close to 50m.

Pedro feels like a lesser version of Zirkee. No eye for goal but great dribbler

HomeSteak

Clrnc so another Gabriel Jesus
