The Fish 11523 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Tell you what, if we can get a Burn, Bakker, and a striker, this has been an excellent window. If it's just (just) Trippier, Wood and Guimaraes then it's still a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City being the only exception apparently. No other club wants Dele Alli and Spurs don’t want to deal with us because of this aforementioned pact. sadly makes sense. think of all the clubs that signed up to that failed hyperleague, that got called out for what it was, they'll be the people that don't want to deal with us. spurs, arsenal, man red, liverpoo, Juve, real and Barca, to name just a few of them.

Kid Dynamite 8069 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I wonder if we are planning on making a late move for Nunez at Benfica. Seems to be the top young striker in Europe along with Vlahovic and there's been rumours rumbling about our interest for weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 8969 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Really depends what other options we can move on. I'd have him here as he should settle quickly and we need someone who can be put straight into the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 12-15m for a just turned 29 year old premier league proven centre back is probably fair enough in today's prices. In fairness he is in one of the best defences in the league. He doesn't seem to make many mistakes, which is a vast improvement over some of our defenders who seem to be auditioning for a Chuckle Brothers revival. Although I suppose it has to be said that if Brighton didn't have players like Bissouma in midfield, Burn and the rest of the Brighton defence would be under a lot more pressure.
