    The sheer potential in our squad is insane, potentially on the cusp of having a truly excellent squad.
    We're also bringing in a manager noted for his excellent work with young players and a strong desire to give them opportunities 
     
    This season has been a complete sh*tshow but it's clear to see there's an excellent foundation to build upon

    Under Potter, Brighton were strong defensively but poor offensively, they were one of the lowest scoring teams in the League in the 3 full seasons under Potter. 
    This season we are strong defensively but very poor offensively, we've literally turned into Brighton. We have no attacking threat and have scored 6 goals in our last 15 games
     
    To put this into context, Brighton's highest scoring season under Potter was 42 goals. This season without Potter Brighton have scored 39 goals and still have around 16 games left to play. Brighton are also doing better than they ever did under Potter.
    I'm all for giving managers time and we are in serious transition right now but I'm extremely doubtful Potter is the right man to take us forward

    Sparkz got a reaction from ashwin in Mason Mount   
    I'm really not sure what people expected from Mount. This idea that he's suddenly not good enough to be starting for us is ridiculous
    He's scored 7 goals for us in his debut season in the Premier League and 8 goals in total, his awareness and tactical positioning has been very good, he's flexible and has worked his socks off in every game. He's also only 21 and has already showed he can perform in the big games
    He's not a creative midfielder and never will be, which is precisely why we signed Ziyech and are looking to bring in Havertz
    He's massively important to the way Frank wants to set up

    I feel the issue with Kepa and the criticism he's facing isn't simply down to him having a bad season where he made a few mistakes, it's down to him having an absolutely terrible season. It would be hard to find a GK who has had worst stats than Kepa did last season
    He basically let in 50% of shots that were on target last season and I think I remember reading that he conceded about 14 goals which he should be expected to save. Those are awful stats for any GK, let alone a GK who cost over 70 million and is playing at the highest level

    Been seeing so much saltiness from Bayern fans online since this transfer happened.
    They seem to believe that Havertz only joined us to spite Bayern as they told him they didn't want him right now and that he will run his contract down with us and make his dream move to them on a free 
    I guess they are still bitter that we signed Ballack on a free from them and beat them on penalties in their own back yard to win the Champions League
    Now we've taken the best young German talent who was supposed to be destined to join them away from them
    Love to see it

    Sparkz got a reaction from ashwin in Edouard Mendy to Chelsea!   
    Where did you get 46% from? His save percentage last season was around 75% which is a huge upgrade on Kepa who had a save percentage of around 53%
    He's also 6ft 6 in which makes him 5 inches taller than Kepa. Due to that height he is very comfortable collecting crosses and dominating his box unlike Kepa who literally stays rooted to his goal line
    Also, it's a good thing Cech is leading the recruitment, he knows exactly what is required for a GK to be play at the highest level and what attributes are needed to play in the Premier League
     
    Mendy isn't world class but he appears to be a good keeper and a massive upgrade on Kepa

    We're signing a highly rated LB, who is only 23 and will improve, who improves our first 11, who fits into our style of play, who was also the managers first choice and we've managed to knock 20-30 million of the asking price
