[Albion] Serhou Guirassy

From BBC Sport:View attachment 167963

Yes. but when you read the article there is no mention of Brighton anywhere, but there is a mention of Brentford. Probably yet another example of predictive text - type in BR in it locks on to the first name that comes up and somebody is too lazy to check

 

[knekkebrød]

Serhou Guirassy is not just the leading goal scorer in bundesliga. He has scored 13 goals in 7 games. Most prolific start to the season ever (better than both Lewandowski and a certain Haaland). He has a release clause that activates in the summer believed to be just under €20M, but could possibly be sold for way above that figure in january if he keeps up the tempo.

At the moment he looks like he is capable of shooting Stuttgart to CL, so I guess they'll keep him as they'd probably value CL above the extra €.

I think Guirassy will get a hefty salary at his next club.

Other than that he sounds just like our kind of target. Great player, under valued and under the radar(well, not anymore)

Undav in a PX deal might help our cause.

Ridiculous stats even for Bundesliga where offensive numbers are usually inflated. Clearly not sustainable over longer period, not even prime CR or Messi could score in average almost 2 goals per game for a whole season so he'll cool down sooner or later.

Never seen him play, will try to catch one of upcoming Stuttgart games. Will probably stop scoring when I'll watch him though.

You have seen the other forward play though, the one with better goals per minute than Guirassy.

As Baldseagull says, both of these lads could do a job?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No-one is going to pay over £100m for an 18 year old with patchy form. He won’t go in January.

Especially an 18 year old in patchy form that carelessly jumps fenced Willy nilly in lower league association football grounds, no chance Nada

 

[kelvinnewman]

Apparently 17.5 euros release clause, throw Undav into the deal?

 

[Farehamseagull]

The low release clause does make it a lot more likely that we are interested. Didnmt know he had that and thought he’d be going for a lot more.

The low price, Welbeck’s injury and age, Ferguson’s form and need for game time to be managed and Fati only being on loan mean it is suddenly quite an attractive option. Would imagine there will be a LOT of competition at that price though.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Can he play LB?

(Or indeed RB?)

But presumably a low release clause doesn’t mean he would go for that figure - just the trigger for an potential bidding war.

We'd lose the salary war certainly

I thought that when it was first mentioned we were in for Fati

There’d be no point bidding more than the release clause - if the player chooses you, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve bid the actual release clause or £20m more. You’d be better served saving that money for a higher signing on fee and salary for the player to beat off your rivals.

Fair point but loan at current top end salary vs permanent on 4 year contract is very different.

Depends whether pull of de zerbi making him better and ultimately more valuable will outweigh bigger immediate salary.

 

[macbeth]

we need to buy defenders, not another forward! we already have a welbeck replacement and he’s doing very well for rangers (including in europe, before anyone mentions the quality of that league)

Agreed, but if a club bids the release clause, it doesn’t stop somebody else bidding higher.

 

[The Optimist]

Once a release clause is met the club can’t stop him leaving. So no bidding war on the transfer fee. There might be a bidding war on salary.

 

[The Optimist]

Agreed, but if a club bids the release clause, it doesn’t stop somebody else bidding higher.

But why would they? What advantage would they gain. The player can still choose to join the first club that met the release clause.
