Revisiting Caicedo and Lavia

It’s also a little silly to laud two players as flopped when they are 4 months into 8 year contracts and one of them hasn’t kicked a ball yet.

What has them having 8 year contracts got to do with anything? For all we know they could both be out the door in the summer.

Keita and Ox were flops because neither of them were around to kick a ball.

Is it too early to laud Enzo and Mudryk as flops as well?

Being shite had something to do with it too.
 
I'll wait until either year 2, or they're sold before I get too happy. They're young enough and talented enough to be incredible still.

But it does seem the Brighton curse is continuing

MacAllister doesn’t seem to be suffering from one… The whole “curse” thing I think is basically going from a well-coached team to a less well-coached one.

This is where I’m a little surprised with Caicedo BTW - I thought he was the type who could thrive in any system, plug the holes in a dysfunctional team. But so far it doesn’t look like that at all - at Brighton he was asked to do specific things and excelled at them, but left to his own devices he seems lost and diminished in stature. Contrast it to Szobo, for instance, who also didn’t come into a well-drilled established midfield unit, but immediately understood what needed to be done to plug the holes game to game.

We missed a real opportunity not selling them Naby Kieta last year.
 
They will probably sign someone like Pahlinha to replace him, so I wouldn’t be celebrating yet.
Not quite sure that’s how balancing the books works.

Although I seriously doubt they are anywhere near FFP balanced
 
Is Gallagher the last “fresh meat” Broehly can flog off? Pretty sure they’ve burnt through all their academy players now?

[edit] No he’s just the one with the biggest price tag with a short end contract

Reece James’ (4.5 years @ £250/week) wage liability means he won’t bring in enough to make it worth selling. Trevor Challobah, Levi Colwill and Broja probably don’t have sufficient market value

They do like paying a good wedge to fill their Physio room don't they.

Also Sarr, WTF happened there!

Well Fofana has another 5.5 years to get well. I'm sure he'll make a comeback...

Yepp, lots of £'s to burn yet. :D

So far they've paid him £15m to play a handful of games and keep their surgeon in cake. So, in comparison, paying £6.25M a year to Sarr so he can play on his Xbox seems a cracking deal

So they are paying over a £1m a week for their crocks! James (£250k), Fofana (£200k), Chilwell (£200k), Nkunku (£195k) & Cucerella (£175k)
