Brighton have been unusually free spending in this summer's transfer window, cashing in some of their credit from Chelsea deals (Potter, Caicedo, Cucurella etc) .
They now look to have a bloated squad are are likely to offload two or three players before the window shuts.
Is Kauru Mitoma a possibility to be the Salah successor.
Also with Yves Bissouma blotting his copybook at Spurs are they looking to offload him. I'm not sure he's the type of player Slot wants as a number 6 but he was of interest to LFC prior to his Tottenham move?

In fairness Chelsea gave them a huge transfer warchest. They can spend as much as they like.
22 Aug 2024 17:08:48
Along as we don’t get mitoma as a salah replacement haha, may as well get minamino back.
22 Aug 2024 17:48:51
How is Mitoma (a LW) a potential Salah replacement? (RW)
22 Aug 2024 17:51:00
Magico, a load of rubbish that. Mitoma is a lot stronger, more direct, can beat a man and importantly score. Not saying he’s a Salah level replacement but he’s better than Minamino.
22 Aug 2024 19:03:49
In your opinion frode, in mine he’s crap.
22 Aug 2024 19:24:49
Opinions can be wrong Magico.
22 Aug 2024 19:43:18
Crap, Magico. Sure, next you’ll be saying Hughes is great for us.
22 Aug 2024 19:43:42
'He's crap' is the type of intelligent well thought out argument I am here for.
22 Aug 2024 19:47:56
As can others.
22 Aug 2024 19:49:57
Frode too early to talk about Hughes. Not a good start but let's see what happens.
22 Aug 2024 20:02:06
How is Mitoma crap?
22 Aug 2024 20:03:11
Hughes has had a complete shocker so far. Paris buys incoming.
22 Aug 2024 20:25:04
Who are we buying from Paris Mark?
22 Aug 2024 20:27:29
I'm confused here. so who's crap?
Minamino, Mitoma, Hughes, Frode, Magico
I'm really amazed how some people get attacked for having their own opinions.
Whatever happened to each to their own? Or having respect and tolerance for someone else's views?
We won't all agree with each other, and that's OK, that's what makes this place so awesome, but the constant berating if someone else's views is getting out of hand.
22 Aug 2024 20:31:14
I agree, no players bought in January window and none in this window.
Supposedly they knew slot was coming six months in advance, not developing the team for a whole year is shameful.
I don't see any teams selling quality players to us with 9 days of the window left.
22 Aug 2024 20:47:07
Oh ye of little faith. let's wait until the end of the window and see what happens.
Having lost Matip and SVDB, with Ibou's injury record and how much football Virgil has played, it would be madness to not sign someone else, and I am confident that we will.
As for any other position beyond the new keeper, i guess it depends on who is available and willing to join.
22 Aug 2024 21:27:35
The keeper won't count as a signing to improve the team now for me Vango.
Maradashvilli coming to us after a year loan and with no sign of Keleher moving with have enough keepers with the youth guy I forgot his name now.
That isn't strengthening the team for this season.
22 Aug 2024 22:56:11
Bissouma is absolute **** of the earth.
22 Aug 2024 23:12:56
Ha Panic.
22 Aug 2024 23:13:43
@JLC, let it go mate, everyone’s crap, life is short and we’re all going to die.
Hughes has managed to negotiate £45m plus potentially another £12.5m in add-ons, plus sell-ons for two players who have played a minimal number of games for Liverpool and who were never going to feature in the first team. That would all but have covered the cost of Zubimendi, had he not changed his mind (which, again, for those of us with both paddles in the water can’t actually be blamed on Hughes) .
23 Aug 2024 06:14:26
Hughes, Slot, etc. are still finding their feet. Suggestions that we should have had a plan 6 months ago is ludicrous at best. I'll take a top 4 finish in what might be a transition year and give Slot and the recruitment team time to make their mark. We have a good enough squad to achieve that. The flip side of the coin is Chelsea and I'm happy that's not how we conduct ourselves.
23 Aug 2024 09:37:54
Stick another £10m on for Clark. Again, not in the plans for match day squad, let alone a starter. Good business.
23 Aug 2024 11:07:24
@OneKiss I guess your **** stands for 'Salt'. Well at least Bissouma can laugh at that one.
No. I'll get my coat.
23 Aug 2024 16:11:17
NMB there are plenty of censorable words you could use to describe him. I know first hand the type of ‘man’ he is.
