I've thought Welbeck would be perfect since the beginning of the window so it would be nice to see us get him
Yeah I'd love Welbeck to come in, ticks so many boxes;
Knows the league
Knows the club
Wouldn't be a huge transfer fee
Scored 10 last season
Great team player
Great in the dressing room
Would aid the development of our young strikers
Fits our system really well
Hates Newcastle
 
O'Riley is a top player and i'd be surprised if he's the one we're supposedly in for.

Think the only way that one would work is if both Neil and Browne are leaving. Then we could run our midfield options something like

10: O'Riley, Rigg
8: Diarra, Le Fee
6: Xhaka, Sadiki

I'd much rather prioritise wing depth and another CB though, even if O'Riley is excellent.
 
Understand he's highly rated but it feels like we have much more pressing needs than a fifth central midfielder this window.

When centre mid was arguably our strongest position last year!
I don't think we will sign him but just know he's been linked previously

He is different to our other CMs and would give us a goal threat our others don't have

Agree there's other pressing needs but he improves the squad and should bring goals to the team so def not against it as he's a quality player

If it is someone from Brighton then the 3 likely ones would be

Welbeck
Buonanotte
O'Reilly

In that order

I really like all 3, O'reilly I loved at Celtic and I do feel we are lacking a no10 (takes pens as well) but reckon if he signed then one of our CM will be away (Neil)

Buonanotte is class, can play wide right and as a 10 - has good experience and so much upside

Welbeck, well he's a mackem don't you know

Would come down to our budget, I'd hate to buy o'reilly then we don't have money to strengthen in the wode areas - suppose the club would know best in this aspect

Absolutely obscene that six. Now I see that I am fully fully behind this hypothetical and not likely move.
