Simon Adingra 🇨🇮 Signed!

[Wakoro]

Watson wanted to go.

But it does seem a bit short sighted by us, why didn't they come to some sort of swap agreement?

Feels like Brighton got the better deal, money for a player who underperformed last season and a young Englishman who is the best prospect I have seen play in our youths since Hendonson.

 

[Freddie the Greek]

I like Keef and his little grey beard and skin tight pants

It was awful when that tree fell on his car, I felt for him

 

[jaraarrow]

When do we have to release these players for afcon,will they be available for the derby ?

We tried to come to a swap agreement and he didn’t want to play in the championship

 

[Whitburnmakem]

Looking to replace most of the play off finals starters that's clear
I suspect only Le Fee, Ballard? & Hume are guarateed to start against West Ham

It’s not clear at all you need two players for every position at least

 

[AndrewP]

So let's gets this straight, Brighton pay Sunderland 10 million for Watson to improve their team, but we pay Brighton 20.5 million for Brighton's Adingra who must be surplus to requirements.
May as well of kept Watson and saved 10.5 million quid.

They've bought Watson to develop and (probably) sell on at a profit later. We needed a more experienced player for the upcoming battle for survival.

 

[Flavonoids]

I miss Hendonson

I agree on the face of it we’ve got the worse deal here

But if you factor in Watson wanted to leave and Adingra didn’t want to play championship it changes matters

Because adingra is at an age where he needs games and isn’t prepared to be second fiddle to Miltoma where Watson will be happy with minutes from the bench it’s not rocket science

 

[Antidotes]

Sounds like he was great under De Zerbi for them but it didn't work under their new gaffer which is fair enough

How have we got the worst deal he’s premier league ready Watson isn’t

 

[woodlebert]

I don’t hugely rate him. So we’ve basically spent £10m to swap borderline premier league players

Aye? Did we then get first refusal on him if we got promoted? Still don't know why the Watson deal was done before the end of the season.

Eh he was one of their best performers at one point and is an international footballer he’s well clear of Watson atm we need someone who’s ready to go right now

I personally would've kept Watson over this lad. I admit I've not seen him play but Watson is 4 years younger, an excellent prospect who's proven he can handle the big stage, British (which seems to carry an inflated transfer wage) and already integrated into the team. Be delighted to be proved wrong though.

Was mint in the last afcon near a G/A every 3 90s for Brighton in the premier league and got 6 G/A in just over 10 90s of Europa league football

We could have kept him manacled in the club shop, charged kids £1 a time to look at him.
