Yes, that is obvious. It isn't, statistically speaking, clear why Angelo Gabriel is, though, considered one for the future. They aren't especially impressive even considering his youth. Perhaps those stats just don't do him justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently we might be increasing our offer… Sometimes I do wonder why these “negotiations” take so long. It’s a football club buying a player, it’s not exactly complicated.

I guess it down to the Rice transfer setting a bar which Brighton getting Caicedo to sign a new contract in January and not overly worried if they sell him or not. There are probably other interested parties in the mix, who Brighton are aware of. Thinking of Chitty and how they tried to scupper the Arse deal for Rise and maybe Dippers if you believe the media. however you look at it, whoever buys his is getting fleeced IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 If the lump joins Juve, I wonder if the Inter fans will applaud him thanking him for his service when he goes back to the San Siro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that’s basically my opinion as well, although I can understand the concerns, stats at 17/18 years old certainly aren’t the be all and end all.

Nothing artificial about being able to count, nothing especially intelligent about counting the absolute basics. Like how often an attacking player scores or creates goals. I'm just curious about this particular player, precisely because I can't really watch and assess them myself and nothing about what I can easily see is jumping out at me. The scouts must see something. Edited July 17, 2023 by thevelourfog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east lower Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I see that Sky Sports are reporting interest in Ten Tonne Tessy (one for the OG’s!) from Juventus and Al Hilal (Saudi’s) with Inter switching interest to Balogun of Arsenal.

Isn't the point behind all this to pick up the players such as Enzo, Caicedo, Cucurella (well the promising version of him), MacAllister, Toney etc. before Brighton, Brentford, Benfica etc. do, so avoid getting fleeced since we have cut out the middle men and directly have these players with us, whether to use directly for ourselves or to sell on further for profit, or both. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east lower Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Sky Sports also now saying that Juventus are willing to pay £34.2m for lardy - Take their hands-off, IF TRUE.
