Out of interest, why don't Brighton, a competitor currently looking for attacking talent, want him?

They do want him, they’re not up for selling but they have a history of bringing players on slowly (see Ben White). He’s prob slightly outside their first team and the reality is they’re a lot better than we are.

Got you. So this "baller" isn't good enough yet to be a squad player for a mid level EPL team. If we are planning on staying up, we will occasionally need to win/draw matches against clubs like Brighton. Won't do that by taking their 'not ready yet' cast offs. As above, ask Leicester fans.

He can play as a 10 or a winger, spot on for us. You may not like it but Brighton are an established PL team, we’re not. Presumably you were happy with the Spurs cast off who was probably our best player last year. I’m not the lad’s agent though, if you want to annoyed about it, that’s up to you.

Hey, you commented on my post, so you should probably expect a reply. And I'm hardly annoyed, simply underwhelmed by yet another underwhelming addition to our forward line. I was very happy with Solomon's performances last season. Remind me what division we were in last season.

Who would you want then? Who wouldn’t be underwhelming? And remember as a newly promoted club, we can’t have first dibs on anyone.

Like you, I have zero knowledge what the budget is and who is available/interested in playing for #lufc in the EPL. That doesn't prevent me from expressing an opinion on players we have brought in or plan to. He's underwhelming at this stage of the window when we clearly need more oomph up top.

That’s pretty definitive about a guy you haven’t seen play for us yet. I’m not sure who you think we could get who would provide more oomph,

I don't have to see him play for us before commenting. I've seen him play for other clubs. He has scored a few eye-catching goals since breaking through at Brighton (no doubt a lovely highlights reel) but struggled for game time last season at one of the EPL's worst ever clubs. Underwhelming.
