They're doing well but it's a model other clubs (like Southampton) have historically employed, ultimately done nothing with in terms of success and eventually the conveyor belt stopped as the new guys turned out to be duds. Teams like Atalanta, RB Salzburg ahow how it can be done. Brighton apparently have a great analytic set up which I dont think Southampton had at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I just saw something about Sterling being out of favour at Chelsea… would you take him at Villa? He’s certainly and upgrade over Bailey and Buendia imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats where he should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoFantastico Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 45 million for Gordon is insane. No way is he worth that. Good bit of business for Everton though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Is Sterling not just known as being a goal poacher these days, if so I doubt Emery would be interested as that's probably part of the reason why we got rid of Ings, Sterling might be a better version, but not sure if that's the kind of forward that Emery likes.

Thats where he should be Sterling has never played through the middle has he? He’s always been a wider forward player hence the comparison to Bailey in particular. I’d have him in LB’s place in a heartbeat. I’d have him over Watkins too but I don’t really see him playing that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's a wide forward but imo that's not his game, he's recently said something along the lines of Chelsea promised him time as a 9 and he's disappointed he's not had more chances there hence why he's being linked with a move, he's a tap in merchant and with his speed and movement he should be a damn good one, to me almost like a Haaland role where his role is when the ball goes near him just score, take 4 touches a game and score 3 goals job done, his problem is he say he wants that but he never plays like that Villas problem as useless says is we don't really play a brand of football that feeds a tap in merchant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I rate Rice, Caicedo at about 20m less is a much better deal. Huge potential still and he's looked brilliant for Brighton so can see them wating to lock down probably the next Kante but suspect it will happen in the summer. Good for us as Brighton will lose momentum without him in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Gordon is bang average, McNeil at Burnley-vibes. What a hilarious piece of business, Everton will be laughing to the bank though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton will probably sell on deadline day then. Pretty much admitted Mcallister will go in the summer so feels like too much quality to lose all in six months to be top half again next season. They've been linked with Oxlade Chamberlain haven't they? Seems an odd move but they've got Lallana fit and he's been a steady eddie in their midfield. That sort of player trade won't be keeping then 6th-7th though. This is where we need to be on it. Who knows how much better West Ham,Leicester and Wolves will be next season. Brighton shouldn't be as good so there's a chance to push for europa qualification if we get the summer window right. Edit: Brighton signed Caciedo in Jan 2021 and he was then loaned to a partner club in Belgium and didn't seriously feature for them until a year later. They were smart giving him european experience in less intense enviornment. Feels a bit like we're missing a trick with signings like Duran not having a partner club in europe and instead they're expecting to hit the ground running which is a coin toss.

Zero loyalty because it is all about the top 4 and the exposure of Champions League. Bissouma Trossard Cucarella and now maybe Caicedo in the space of 6 months all leaving or wanting to. Imagine that happening to us ! But thats 180 million of sales from an out lay of around 50 mill. They have a genius transfer policy. They also play football like most of the supposed top 6 do. So the teams will take them as they will blend in easily. So i hope Emery goes to 6 behind the ball from now on !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
