barry'sboots Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Some reports that we would sell Ings with Brighton favourites. I would still look to do this - for the same reasons as I wouldn't have signed him i.e. he is injury prone. He hasn't looked great this last season and this is probably the last chance we have to get value for him. I would sell for the £20m mooted - if Brighton or a newly promoted club would pay that - and re-invest in someone like Broja or Brereton Diaz who have been quoted at £25m? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year at Rangers and some European football may be a good option for Archer Needs to play at a higher level than the SPL. 4 games against Celtic and 6 European games a season will probably be the only challenging games for him. Much rather him go to one of the Championship teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunez is not a valid response, he's off to Liverpool or a club of that ilk. Well ill admit it isn't easy to find but there are a fair few that will be out there… i hope he goes somewhere else in europe and not to improve one of the great clubs here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said Chelsea/Arsenal would kill to have Ollie/Ings in their teams. When someone pointed out that they may not want them due to already having high profile strikes (and the ability to sign them) you asked "And how is that working out for them?". In response myself and others have pointed out that Ollie/Ings haven't "worked out" well for us therefore calling into question why these teams would "kill" for them as you said. I am sorry that I had to do this. Oh no, not MULTIPLE PEOPLE disagreeing with me, won't somebody think of the children Chelsea and Arsenal would kill to have Ollie and Ings over what they have now. It isn't that deep that you need to invent an entire mythology around such a simple statement. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRic Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Memphis Depay barca are letting him leave apparently… would that be out of our scope or ?? .. and would you guys want him. I really want Lautaro Martinez (Inter) but that is definitely dreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 1 hour ago, Awol said: Agreed. Looking at transfer activity since SG arrived the aim is for new signings to improve the first XI - where that’s possible (there’s no improving on Martinez & Chambers provides capable cover for two positions, but generally). If we go into the market for a striker it would logically be for an upgrade on Ings & Watkins - a difficult and expensive business. SG stated many times last season that our finishing wasn’t good enough so it seems likely he wants another option. Point is, I don’t think he’ll be relying on Archer in any scenario, so no harm in letting him progress at PNE. Spot on and i agree the market is hard is that department in the forward area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 If we sell Davis (which is likely), how would people feel about starting the season with just Watkins, Ings and Archer (if he doesn’t go out again on loan) as our striker options? Personally, I think we need another one. Who that is I don’t know but plenty to choose from I imagine, ie Richarlison, Jesus, Isak, David, Depay, Kean, Barbosa, Jovic, Bellotti etc. Most have been discussed on here already but are there any others that may interest us? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd only want an upgrade on what we have and that entire list (except Jesus who would want CL I'd imagine) are worse than Watkins and Ings or at the very best similar. The problem that we have re: strikers is that to upgrade on what we have we need to move into the £50m + category, and I don't think the need is that great for our owners to sanction smashing our xfer record for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he'd be quite good for Brighton though! They make loooads of chances and usually just miss them. If he finds his shooting boots, 20 goals are there for him. Could say the same for us, but we've haven't shown the consistent chance creation they have yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
