[Albion] Datro Fofana

[Hugo Rune]

Is he better than a player with a good scoring record, who is already 'a unit' at just 18?

According to his showreels, his touch appears to be very good indeed. He reminds me of Bissouma in that he can create a lot of space with his first touch when he receives the ball. He can also knock the ball into space past a player beating him very quickly and easily with his pace and power. This kid has something special.

I like this article on a Liverpool website.

Brighton 'open talks' for Liverpool target David Datro Fofana, says Romano

Brighton are in talks for David Datro Fofana, according to Fabrizio Romano. Liverpool supposedly like the striker.

“Brighton are in talks for David Datro Fofana, according to Fabrizio Romano. Liverpool supposedly like the striker…..The fact that Brighton are in for him suggests he’s got the talent to do so, in fact. Their scouting with these young players is exceptional and their use of data analysis to find bargains takes them far. Moises Caicedo and Alexis McAllister have been brilliant signings in recent years and Fofana could be something similar.”

From Cote d’Ivoire to Molde! I hope he packed his thermals. Fair play to the lad taking that step as a teen though.

 

[nwgull]

Probably stays on loan at Molde for the rest of the season, or possibly a loan to USG or similar level.

I see our fav media bod has chelsea signing him now. That should cheer up chelsea fans when they are going for same blokes that we are.

 

[macbeth]

well they're cutting out the middleman it would appear

 

[Quinney]

So he can sit on the bench at Chelsea instead of having a realistic chance of first team football. He needs to check out Mitoma, Caicedo, Trossard, Lamptey, Estupinian, Mac Allister etc to see how to progress his career in a structured way.

We should line up some decoy duds for Chelsea to gazump us to. Afterwards, we'll chuckle knowingly amongst ourselves when they realise they've signed the second coming of Ali Dia on a 5 year deal

 

[macbeth]

but i thought naylor said they would be fishing in different ponds to us??

His exact words left wiggle room “Losing Winstanley isn’t expected to hurt Brighton too much, as Chelsea are mainly dealing in a higher-level market.”

 

[ManOnTheRun]

To be fair to Naylor, Paul Barber said the same when he was on the Albion Roar pod a few weeks back, so I'm assuming Naylor is just towing the club line.

 

[dazzer6666]

We never were in for him, Bloom has played a bluff and Boehly immediately goes all-in.

What if this kid is the decoy?

 

[saafend_seagull]

Well the only decent striker we have signed in 10 years is Glenn Murray and ulloa. So not really bothered about this one, their fans will get very pissed off if they continue with signings like this since they want instant success.

Zaha is out of contract in the summer.
Oh the irony if we signed him and he became our 20 goal a season striker.

Wouldn’t make it through training in the first week

Ahem.... Wages.

As has been said many times, if there is no £30 -£40 million transfer fee, there is a way round that. Where there's a will etc.

P.S. I was never serious about it !

Meetings at Chelsea these days must be so simple……

Item 1 - transfer targets

‘Who are Brighton after ?’

……etc

Going to be tough when the answer is:-

"I don't know".
