Dr_Pangloss Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Ampadu is an absolutely fantastic talent, has a head on his shoulders that is much older than 18 based on how he reads and understands the game. But I'd have absolutely no interest in a loan, has to be a straight transfer or a loan with an option buy, we shouldn't be in the business of giving experience to other team's talented players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to do this just for the potential song! The Seagulls don't like it, Gazumpin the Trossard, Gazump the Trossard, The Seagulls don't like it, Gazumpin the Trossard, Gazump the Trossard I like the Allez, Allez, Allez song as much as the next guy, but this is going to be a classic! hahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 It only says that we could make a move for him if he becomes available, so it's very speculative at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thats2 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Maybe Ampadu can be our version of Dortmund signing Jadon Sancho away from Man City: highly-rated young talent who doesn’t see a path into the first team. I’m sure last year was frustrating for him, if he’s ambitious he might just ask for a move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I’ve watched Amapdu a fair bit for wales, he’s a defensive midfielder not a centre back. Class act but still raw and makes mistakes you’d expect a young player to make but which can be crucial given his position in front a defence.

Linked to him by The Sun, so I'm not reading into it too much. If he does leave Brighton, I'd imagine Leicester would be the more likely destination, especially if they end up selling Maguire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm against developing 'top' side's talented players. Ampadu probably isn't ready to start regularly at this level anyway. Wouldn't have anything against a loan signing who can go straight into the first team (e.g. like Snodgrass two seasons ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are you helping your competition out by developing their players you usually have to pay 2-3 million as a loan fee. This could be used for permanent transfers.

Most of the press seem to be clueless when it comes to our targets, hence why Wesley came out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re finally back in the premier league and we’re building a team to take on the beat teams in the country. This is great isn’t it!? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Dunk is being linked with a £40m move to Leicester, presumably as a replacement for Maguire, so he wouldn't come cheap. Personally I think it would be fine to loan back Tuanzebe even without an option to buy, it will mean we will have had him for three seasons in a row, would have been like a signing for us anyway over the course of that time.

Tuanzebe or tammy would be the only players I'd want in on loan now, only for the reason of continuity; Pointless otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
