It was confirmed by West ham that he was returning

10m player now, not 100

Bet Brighton are kicking themselves when he was supposedly valued at £100m and there were plenty of enquiries.

What amazed me was how many on here got gooey eyed about a good prospect, but someone who clearly had loads to still work on. It was absolutely mad

Yup, he was basically seen as the Kane heir. Just goes to show there’s a fine balancing act on these young next big things. You either move too late and they’re out of your price range or too early based on early promise and they turn out not to be as good as hoped and money down the drain.

There's a reason you don't put all your eggs in the youth basket. You're lucky if 2/3 out of 10 actually meet, let alone exceed expectations.

I was one of those screaming for us to get him a year before Kane left as his replacement... goes to show my YouTube viewing does not equate to being a good scout lmfao

I REALLY want to laugh at these idiots but I was advocating going all out to get Tariq Lamptey in for 50m so I'll stay out of it.

 

[HildoSpur]

Still better than Hojlund

That's nothing. I wanted Nii Lamptey signed.

That ex-Chelsea scout (who has done a few podcasts) said that he saw Ferguson several times and wasn't impressed/didn't think he'd amount to much.

He used him as an example when a scout gets it wrong.

But perhaps he was right after all?

As a connoisseur of 90s football and Championship Manager I'm really disappointed in myself that this guy had somehow gone beneath my radar

Let's not turn this into a confessional (but that's probably a good idea for a thread).

I thought Saido Berahino was going to be the Burundian Pele

Lad is still only 20 years old, plenty of time to make it at this level.

West Ham couldn't send him back quick enough.
Most of my West Ham mates said not good enough.

 

[Albertbarich]

Oooh but Brighton are so clever, they’re so smart and ahead of the game…

Not so smart now are they? Mugs.

Or they were never offered anywhere near the amounts that were bandied around in the press

Spot on.

He may not be good enough, but it's way too early to tell.
