We were interested in AOC in January but couldn't get it done so that's one of the more plausible ex player links. Interesting that Besiktas are in for Aribo too.

Lots of people angry at stories they don’t know the truth of I see. Ultimately the lad went onto to better things and now is coming back when neither he or us are in a comparable situation. If he wants to contribute and people at the top think he can then let’s get over it and give it a shot. Btw, our best players will leave whether Lallana comes into the dressing room and tells them to or not.

I think you need to get over it. Sounds stressful being that annoyed by such a thing.

You’re acting like the club made the decision and not the player himself.

He’s 18 and scored as many goals in his first full season as any of our more experienced midfielders. He’s shown versatility, leadership and has played a nearly full season whilst doing it in an average team. Interesting that Armstrong leaving is a shame and needs replacing but definitely not with an 18 year old who has out scored and out played him this season. The lad has not only been more robust than him but has shown his versatility and leadership by spearheading Sunderland’s attack at times, even through weird form and managerial changes. He’s 18 ffs. There aren’t many 18 years old doing that for anyone let alone for a team in the Championship. But nope, his brother blah blah blah, done nothing notable blah, blah. I hate to break it to you but as a club our only chance of getting really top players is by taking a chance on them when they are young. And it feels like if you can’t take a chance on an 18 year old who is doing all he is in the championship then when would you? Unfortunately, or fortunately for you, if he’s available I suspect others above us will take that chance too. The audacity to claim he’s done nothing notable ffs 😂 You’d be wetting yourself with excitement if Dibling or Ballard had this kids record. In fact…I’ve just noticed you said O’Hare would be a nice signing recently…who Bellingham also out scored this season.

And I'm just pointing out the bloke who's personality you just made sweeping statements about has just scored. Whether we should sign him, whether he fits in, whether he's worth however much money to us are all reasonable debates to be had. But such sweeping statements about his personality are ridiculous for many reasons including but not limited to a) you don't know him at all and b) if said after 10 minutes of a game, he's got another 80 minutes (or 20 in this case) to shh you.

Rattled because he cant handle somebody pointing out the guy he wrote off after 10 minutes has scored

Impressive to score against anyone with such a stinky attitude I would say.

Narrator: It's 1-0 with Broja getting the opener after 30 minutes.

10 minutes after the game kicked off this was posted by the way.

Yeah it's also a shame that he, too, would have zero interest in joining us. This place is insane at times

He's an injury away from being first choice at Arsenal. It's plausible he gets a loan move at some stage but it isn't happening in the first week of June and nor before the Euros. It also isn't happening before Arsenal sign another keeper. All that has to be overcome before he even contemplates playing for 20th ranked team in the league.

Literally the player, the manager and the whatever Phil Parsons is have all said it but you're worried because there's no website post about it.

Delusion of the highest order.

Yes.

Exactly nothing isn't fair for someone who has been seriously injured and messed around by a club he clearly wanted a chance at. Like most youngsters he'll need a settled environment to prosper. It's definitely a gamble but there's zero evidence his attitude is a problem.

Which is a perfectly reasonable take, it's the suggestions of a bad attitude/application that baffle me. Opinion on him as a player is subjective, but I'd also remind you he's 22 and his best years are obviously ahead of him.

Young player has fluctuation in form and his attitude and application is questioned. Incredible. Very little difference between Broja and say Evan Ferguson but people would wet themselves over signing Ferguson.

It’s normally mid June as contracts generally come to an end on the 30th June.

Really don’t see Ings happening. Said this last year but he’s too similar to what we have. Imagine telling Armstrong, after his best season for us, ‘yeah that guy you replaced initially, he’s coming back’. If we’re signing a striker to replace Adams it’ll be someone with the same profile as him. Think his agent is once again just using the convenient link to get his name out there.

That’s for the club to explain, not me. Would be shocked if it wasn’t linked to a coaching role of sorts though because that’s a route Lallana clearly wants to go down. Stuart Armstrong only started 14 times last time we were in this league by the way, if we’re fixating on numbers.

How old are you out of interest? Because making swipes at people’s personal lives and then saying Wet Spam you’re coming across as 14 max. The full quote of this, which was conveniently cut by the original poster, is different. I suggest people read it before concluding he thinks he played too much fitness wise. He’s quite clearly talking about how injuries in the Brighton squad meant he played more than planned originally. He goes on to stress he has more to give fitness and enjoyment wise. Suspect he’ll be involved in the coaching side here too because that was his hopes last year but ended up ‘playing too much’.

Just cutting the quotes to suit your narrative is sublime btw 😂

I quite liked them but there’s maximum two that are realistic. And I’m not a football recruitment department so won’t be having a go myself.

All the classic cliche suggestions here. Couple of players they’ve heard of from links in the media. Random guy from Germany who is good on a computer game/YT video. Young keeper from a relegated club. Younger brother of really good player and then a random loan for a ex player they think is out of favour at their new club but in reality is injured and will have zero interest in coming back. Zero thought for any of the cash involved or practicalities of signing any of them if they were available. Might get one right so they can act like they know wheat they are on about a while later and will certainly get nowhere near the others but they will be good somewhere else so they can say ‘ I told ya we should have got him’.
