You don’t know anything about our scouting network then yes it helps identify players but we have in the region of 300 scouts. You think they all sit and look at stats.

Don’t think he suits our style, winger (better named as wide forward) is one position we have lots of depth, don’t think he’ll have top half PL potential (still very good). The issue is Rangers probably can’t pay much more than 4M, we’d want teens plus small sell on so think we need to hope some Champ club comes in with a bid in between those sums.
Sadly can’t see it and think we’ll loose him for very little, then look back on it as with some past deals and see him sold to a crap PL side for 15M some day because he’ll have played a couple years regular football at a decent level (Rangers and Celtic might be lower-mid Champ standard but the sides they play against are L1 level, whilst he has better than that team-mates making it even less fair to say L1 level challenge each week). Just one of those things that’s going to happen.

You said you've never seen him play, yet presented with hard data you say you can't trust the source
This must be satire.

Take the blinkers off. Mitoma is not a £85m+ player. Nowhere near consistent enough. We will get 35 to 45m for him

Seems a similar skill set to Undav.... we know they can score, but of course, RDZ demands much more from players, control, speed of thought, flexibility...... I am not sure, .....well not convinced, that either of these two have enough to please the gaffer.Don't want to judge the fella as never really seen him play, but a fair few rangers fans seem to suggest he's a good finisher, but not so good in controlling ball and passing etc
Sure the recruitment/development team will have a good handle on what to do next
I wonder if there's the 1 year option?
I would be extremely disappointed if we sold Mitoma for only 45m

I heard we had enquires about Mitoma in the summer the figure quoted to make Tony even consider any type of deal was an eye watering amount.
He’s since signed a new deal.
£35m

He was playing like a £85 million player last season , I don’t think he has been 100% fit this season

How much did we pay for Sima? Was it £7m, or thereabouts?
I wonder if at the end of this season we’d manage to recoup this via rangers or another European club.
Rangers has been a good loan out for him. He struggled last season in a team who were very badly struggling so Weir and Greer have done a great job with this loan. Must have added millions to his value.

Athletic say figure was closer 6m?
Abdallah Sima: Brighton sign Senegal international forward
Brighton have completed the signing of 20-year-old Slavia Prague forward Abdallah Sima. The Athletic understands the fee is closer to £6 million than £7 million. He has signed a four-year contract, with the option of a further year. Sima has been sent straight out on loan to Championship side...

As he is Senagelese I wonder if he'll be in the AFCON?
Would be interesting to see how he might fare in that comp.

He made the Senegal squad in October but was only on the bench, that was his first involvement at senior level since July 2021. It looks like he wasn't called up for the senior squad in November. Seems very unlikely he'll go now despite his good Rangers form.

Don't think many (if any) Championship clubs can pay £10M these days either. Can't see us making much profit, if any, on this player.
He is a bit like Undav in one way: scores goals, but not much good at anything else.

Id prefer we didn't sell Mitoma and bought in Sima.
Injuries are a thing, as we've found out this season. And we almost certainly won't have Fati.
Every season squad strength is what gets us.

Fouled for Rangers pen and a bullet header so far this afternoon. Rangers fans have changed their tune from “Sima is pish”
