Id love us to sign him, but I doubt its doable, unfortunately. I’m a bit more optimistic. They have a business model where they spend on young players with potential. And sell on the good ones for huge profits. But those are guys who have excelled in the Prem for them. The guys that go on loan and who can’t break into the first team there won’t be moved on for huge sums and often for less than they signed. Karbownik, Zeqiri, Clarke etc Wouldn’t be surprised if they let him go for 5-6 million. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negri's lovechild 15,417 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 He had a fairly up qnd down start this season, but over the last few weeks you can see there's a player in there. He isn't the flashiest player, but he can finish, has a burst of pace, works hard and is willing to run in behind the fullbacks, and that's something i love to see rather than standing off and letting players get back into position. If continues to grow like he has in the last few games he'll have an excellent season. I don't know if he'll make it at Brighton, but i would definitely have him here long term if that ever became a possibility. bluenoz, OrangeRab, theredhandofNewcastle and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton are a team that will sell good players every summer so if someone comes in for Mitoma etc. they’ll fall back on their current squad, like Sima. Especially if he has a good season and continues to score in Europe. £5M to sign him? Get real I like Sima. But you can’t watch him and think he’s going to walk into that Brighton team. A few average loan spells and potentially a good season in the spl isn’t going to make him a 10 million pound player or convince them that he’s good enough for them. I think Brighton would be pretty happy to recoup most of the fee. If every team could get close to what they paid for players who don’t quite work out they’d be delighted. I’d bite your hand off for 4 million for Dessers sausagetrunks and plymouthranger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post graeme_4 37,691 Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 I’ve not really taken to him as a footballer, but can’t argue with his goals return. Moaned all the time about Kent’s lack of numbers, so can’t complain too much when he keeps sticking chances away.

stuart1994 4,539 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 One thing I loved yesterday was in the first half he chased all the way back to nearly the bye line to put in a challenge. With the comparison to Sakala, always thought Sakala was guilty of being a bit lazy off the ball and I think Sima is a better finisher than him. don logan and Bobby Hume 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inflated EPL prices for a player that couldn’t get a game for Brighton won’t mean we can’t get him. We’ll offer an SPFL price and they will take it. They will want to recoup some of their £undisclosed fee from Slavia Prague. They will take £4m or can fuck off. OrangeRab 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers_no1 34,664 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Not a chance he will cost anywhere near £10m. He will have a year left on his contract next summer. £5m max Brighton will get for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate, I think that most of our players have been guilty of being lazy off the ball mate ... yesterday's game and the team's performance was down to the way the manager wants to play now .... and the players seem to have taken his intentions onboard .... hopefully it is lasting as they have all been notified that they have been given a new lease of life by PC and don't revert back to past under achievements. I thought that Sima deserved the MOTM yesterday but wasn't surprised when they announced Raskin for the honour ..... how things change when the team get a good all round result. 🇬🇧 Leftpegcoopz11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen Sakala as more of a guy whose lack of concentration & awareness let him down more than laziness tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redemption80 173 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Likeable guy, not a fast as Matondo but imo more clinical. He obviously has flaws, but if he didn't he wouldn't be in Scotland. People saying he isn't good enough for us when the reality is we probably can't afford him is showing up the unrealistic expectations some fans have.

The Godfather 75,871 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 We had a better chance of Tillman and still couldn't get him. This will be the same, don't see him here beyond the summer sadly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookWorm 4,735 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hope we can afford him when the loan deal is up. He is growing in confidence and getting better all the time and even tracking back he has a lot of success winning balls back.

OrangeRab 3,411 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Where are fans plucking this 10 million+/he’ll never sign for us from? He’s been average in his loan spells since Brighton signed him. He’s been pretty good for us. But still well below the heights or performances that guys like Morelos, Kent etc hit for us. He looks exactly like a £5-6million player. Not good enough to make it in the Prem. But would be a good signing for us if he wanted to join and can sustain good form over the season.

There’s more chance of us signing Sima who has had a couple of failed loans than a player who had no intention of staying at the club. Agreement with Bayern or not.
