Good job we won't be there then.

But we're not going out and spending £19m and £30m, it will be like the Van Dijk sale and will be over a number of years so maybe an initial outlay of £15-£20m tops for them both which is very doable.

I would take that! Be a bit dramatic though.

I think you have to be registered by midday the day before the game so I think he's fine. I expect to see him on the bench.

It originally comes from a British Source and looks a bit made up! No doubt people take it for gospel on here because it ridicules the club.

Got a Brighton supporter at work, says their new striker is injured till Feb.

Exactly. Score 7 or 8 goals for the rest of the season and we'll be a lot higher up the table.

Typical of this place though. I'm looking forward to seeing him play, hopefully can be similar to Lambert.

I must admit I'm pretty happy, glad we have someone in at last. Hopefully can score on his debut or the clowns on this forum will be baying for blood.

Has he been injured for last few weeks or rested? Hopefully the latter and we can see him on the bench.

Interesting that it wasn't mentioned that he was our record signing. They do when it is...

Yes.

Welcome Guido. Score goals, simple as that.

What is the point of that? Are we doubling the size of the academy/squad?

Where's Janssen come from? Are you still privy LeG?

Prem teams overpay because they have the money, 20m is the old 10m.

Granted, strength would be needed, I'm assuming if he can header well in the area he must possess some strength. Hopefully similar to Kane outmuscling Stephens.

There has to be some deadline or some offer of payment if player accepts within a week.

I suppose if he was amazing inside and outside the box he'd be worth 40m upwards. For a striker I want good movement in the box, finishing skills and excellent header, way more important than what he's useless at.

Thought you were desperate to get a player in? You should be happy, why should you care how much is paid? It's not your money.

Won't be long as people are writing him off already, mainly due to the fact that they haven't heard of him and just looking at stats.

I'm thankful we have someone who can add to the goal tally. Monaco are no mugs, they obviously saw something in him and when he starts it seems he plays pretty well. Can't make it up on this forum though, some crying we're not signing anyone then crying when we do because "stats" don't look good enough, glad we have the experts to sort the team out.

Good new, it means a team that is struggling for goals has purchased a striker. Hopefully this will somehow help other signings come through as well.

As long as we manage to score one more than them I'll be happy.
