We've played away from home before without Welbeck, with Trossard as a false 9 and played well such as at Spurs in April. The poor performance on the night may well have happened with or without Welbeck tbh.
It's almost like you're suggesting Undav, Enciso, Estupinan may get better with a bit of time like others have recently. A seemingly novel way of thinking.
Even with those big money sales, over the last 8 seasons our transfer loss is still about £130m. As well as operating losses. I'm not quite getting where people think TB just has endless money to put into the club? :shrug:
Who all would be happy to personally finance our losses over 12 years...probably screaming blue murder that they have to spend an extra £20 to share a ticket...
Brighton transfer net (according to Transfermarket):
15/16 £-12m
16/17 £-8m
17/18 £-60m
18/19 £-66m
19/20 £-48m
20/21 £-7m
21/22 £+3m
22/23 £+69m
The operating losses of course run alongside this. Despite some big transfer income, it's still dwarfed by previous fees paid and operating losses...
Blindly accepting a record successful season in the top flight.
A record 6th season in the top flight.
A record start to a top flight season.
Record transfer fees received for players.
It's all just blindly following isn't. The club is being considered as one of the best run throughout...
What you need is a front man who worries the defence. I remember last season in particular at home to Villa where they appeared completely relaxed with Maupay's presence and happy to go 1 on 1 with him, meaning they had men over to double on Trossard or other threats.
What I note with Welbeck...
