Well there's a cut off point with age the scouting network work on before the recruitment side/director of football takeover.
Do you think the scouts at Brighton are responsible for bringing in the likes of Lallana, Milner, Welbeck, Dahoud, Veltman, Estupinan?
Course not, they bring in the likes of;
Caicedo Enciso Macallister Ferguson Lamptey Buononotte Sarmiento Kozlowski etc
Well not so much bring in as they don't have that power but they certainly play a big part in identifying them and referring.
David Lynch is a mess.
He actually started the tweet with an "if", come on what Journo that knows what he's talking about does that?
"got the slightest encouragement from Chelsea" Yeah, meaning if they saw 50 million pound signs on the table, we're not stupid David.
Sounds like we are laying the groundwork and that if we can't get him this summer we will go again next year.
It worked on Bellingham after all
Pedo
Can't help thinking, they have such a hard on for Caicedo, if they were in any way open to selling him he would be in Brighton by now.
Best job in the world
Can we Count Bassey in?
Its a quote FROM David Lynch, not his tweet.
Ok. Well I’m gonna use that to sound like pretty much the same thing to stick against him anyway 🙂

Lovren compares Lyon team-mate Lukeba to Gvardiol: ‘He has everything’
Lyon defender Castello Lukeba "has everything" like Josko Gvardiol, according to team-mate Dejan Lovren.
Ex-Liverpool man Lovren returned to Lyon in January after almost 10 years away and has already been impressed by some of his new colleagues.
Lukeba, who only turned 20 in December, was promoted to Lyon's first team in 2021 and has formed a strong partnership with Lovren so far in 2023, starting the last four Ligue 1 games together.
Lovren said: "It's good, we communicate well. He understands what I ask of him.
"Frankly, he's a very, very, very good player with the qualities to one day be one of the best defenders."
France Under-21 international Lukeba has made 56 appearances in all competitions for Lyon, including 23 in the league so far this season.
And Lovren, who has played alongside the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Samuel Umtiti and, at international level, Gvardiol, sees similarities with a former defensive partner.
"I can compare him with Gvardiol," Lovren said. "He has everything.
"He is very, very young, and he still needs to work a lot. I am there for him, to give him advice.
"He is a player that I really get a lot from playing with. He understands quickly."
RB Leipzig centre-back Gvardiol has been considered one of the most exciting young defenders around in recent years, attracting interest from many of Europe's biggest clubs.
Most strongly, the Croatia international has been repeatedly linked with a move to Chelsea following their big-money takeover by US businessman Todd Boehly.

Would they even talk to us after the Fekir saga ?
Even before then it seemed like it was such a fuss, agreed a fee with them for Lacazette and then he pulled the plug when Arsenal came in with a higher offer. Not worth the hassle tbh.
Shirley you can't be serious?
I could see us putting in a surprise move for Pascak Struijk
I’m posting Klopp a turd if that happens
Mentioned Lukeba already.. But not sure he is on Klopp's list. Lloyd Kelly is another option, he is at the very le
I bet you said that about Robertson too.
Lens are under no pressure to sell having brought in money from Openda and Fofana's sales but Facundo Medina would be a nice consideration.
nope because i couldn’t remember Robertson’s name for months after we signed him
