Baleba

brighton chairman said its a pleasure to help man u out yet

only matter of time

Found the Golden Goose Tony Bloom. Has a bespoke scouting algorithim that finds him gems for peanuts and he can flip a few a year to United and Chelsea. Then win Cheltenham Festival races with 100/1 shots in his spare time. The man has cracked life.
 
The hype around this lad is weird. Seen so many people talk about this guy like he's a Patrick Vieira regen. Someone please tell me what the fuck this guy has achieved to be worth double what a guy like Reijnders cost, who has proven himself in multiple Leagues, Europe and International level.

The Premier League prices are absolutely insane. Cunha and Mbuemo aswell. Absolute 10 a penny these lads there's loads playing in France, Portugal and South America, seems nobody can be arsed scouting anymore. United literally looked at the players with the most G+A in the league outside the top 6 and paid the daft asking price they were quoted.

Absolutely no way to run a football club and I'm going to love watching it crash and burn. Even this Sesko I'm convinced they bought him because he was crazy good on Football Manager and FIFA over the past few years.
I can try to explain the hype around Baleba to you, and why he would command such a high fee. There are very few players in each position that have the physical attributes to separate them from the average top level player.
Oftentimes the best players are just absolute physical specimens. Unicorns of sort. Longer legs for tackling, speed, and power. Think of some of the worlds best players - they actually have a lot in common in that they possess this trait. Haaland, Saliba, Ronaldo, Bellingham, Camavinga, Valverde, Rice and Rodri. Even Palmer and Musiala possess these traits. The long manipulative style to stride past people. You're buying the potential for this player to be the BEST in the world at his role. It's easier for him to impact a game than someone of average build.

But, in saying all that, I don't think he'll reach that ceiling. I'm not sure he's got the brains, and his passing is quite horrendous. I expected him to improve on these things last season but it seems to have stagnated. I would say he's worth a shot for 70m, but 100m is too much for what he's shown. Would be a good fit for United, but they have shown they cannot train players to take that next step, so I can see why they don't want to meet Brighton's asking price. Still some rawness to him.

We are killing the strikers market. Just 15 goals once and you are worth 70M thanks to the PL.
 
We clearly asked before and didnt happen for whatever reason, I imagine the price being a big reason.

Are we looking again? Doubt it. Id guess our name is being used to get the Rags to pay more.

I just cant see how this would work bearing in mind we are yet to shift players and have new players that haven't been getting lots of minutes already.

A no go for me.

Rodri not on tour maybe we are not certain if he will be the same anyway we cud play a double pivot if he comes.

Bloom is so confident with his 29% share in Hearts and scouting model that he thinks Hearts finish 2nd in the SPL this season and will win the league in the coming seasons.

Very achievable, Celtic and Rangers hardly throw mega money about and sign unobtainable stars anymore. Would be good to see the Old firm duopoly broken up.

It would be nice if somebody could break the Celtic stranglehold on that one horse league, apologies to Rangers.

Rodri will be nursed back, after all he was very open about his playing time and the injury etc. we are only playing Palermo we can afford to rest him for that!!

But even if true we still have Kovacic, Bernie, Gundo, Nico G, Nico O’Reilly (isn’t a LB), Reijnders.

We need to move players on if we are signing players! We have players we don’t have room for currently and still struggling to move them on.

Baleba is a fabulous prospect. Absolutely needs to stay with the Albion for at least another year, probably longer.

I'm not saying the lads a bad player, in fact I agree he shows potential but that's all it is at the moment. Fees are crazy, of course I realise its a 'not for sale' price tag but United actually pay these prices.
 
Not sure Rodri will be able to manage the game load going forward he was once put under, maybe worth looking at this now?

ACL's usually take 8-12 months to get back on the field.

It can take another year after the recovery for players to find their footing again. I have said it before but we should really be in the market for more energy in the midfield. Reijnders and Cherki are more attacking options, but we should get someone in with energy and some defensive prowess to cover.

On a side note, If we aren't going to give Nico G the chance here then we never will.

Maybe with Mcatee going to Forest we go back in for MGW?
