The fact that he’s homegrown should be neither here nor there, how many proven top level strikers do you see go for such a low amount as 50m in the last couple of seasons?

Then he should not be sold, simple. Brighton are proof that the selling club can be the one who dictates the fee.

50m? 40m? I honestly can’t believe what I’m reading, what universe am I in where a proven home grown twenty goal a season striker in his prime costs that amount of money? I am actually very nervous about this, because our ability to get fair market value for our players will give us a real...

In 2019 we needed our two proven forwards and star winger not to act like complete pr**ks and spend large portions of the season not giving a s**t. We also needed certain players to be available more often and we needed to be more ruthless in showing the door to loyal servants who were no longer...

Do you honestly think that if we kept Mousett then we would have survived? I could get on board with your argument if we were relying on Solanke as first choice but we weren’t, for example if we sell Solanke in the summer and then replace him with an unproven youngster and then get relegated...

Rewriting history? I literally just gave a factual account of how many goals each player had scored. All the players above also missed many chances for us, even Defoe.

Our third choice strikers in various seasons- Glenn Murray- 4 goals Jermaine Defoe- 4 goals Mousette- 3 goals Solanke- 3 goals So your argument is that because Solanke’s goals came late in the season that they were less valuable? I don’t know if you’re talking about a different season, but...

I don’t understand, so if we’d have kept Mousett and never signed Solanke then we wouldn’t have been relegated? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone anywhere ever try to argue that their club got relegated because their third choice striker didn’t score enough goals, we don’t even have a third...

Oh right. The same Jermaine Defoe who scored er, four goals in his one season with us… (same amount as Dom in the season we got relegated) It’s getting hard to keep up with the logic of your argument, so would four goals have kept us up if they were scored by Defoe instead?

Solanke was clearly signed as a player to develop, which he has done. We had more than enough fire power in the forward areas in Wilson and King, I’m not sure what reality this is where a team with two proven goal scorers already goes out and recruits another proven scorer. What player with...

I don’t agree that he’s really stepped up this season, if anything I think he’s been poorer this season than last. Quite possibly impacted by the rumours surrounding his future. He’s made quite a few individual errors that have led to goals this season: -Spurs at home, making no attempt to...

Have you? If contact continues inside the box then a penalty must be awarded. It clearly did. You’re in the minority here.

This is such a good point. In fact, our decline pretty much coincided with his signing. I feel sorry for Lewis Cook. He’s a better player than Lerma but because he doesn’t charge around like a mad man and look to s*it house the opposition at every opportunity he rarely receives any praise...

Don’t really understand where you’re coming from. Have only seen one poster compare the two so far, you’re right that we have no way of knowing how good Adams is yet as we have yet to properly see him in action. My question was specifically related to Lerma, and Neil’s comments about him being...

Genuine question Neil, if Lerma is such an outstanding player then why did he end up at Palace? Surely on a free transfer the top clubs would have been queuing up, as they seemingly are for Kelly. Or could they not compete with the financial might of Pace? Our fan base seem to rate him a lot...
