He's a fantastic player to watch but dosen't strike me the type who'll flourish outside Italy, indeed turned down a few of the top 6 down the years in Serie A?
What happens if he joined and De Zebri left a few weeks later?

Vs Liverpool 3-3 / 1.6-1.6 xG
Spurs 0-1 / 0.6-0.7 xG
Brentford 0-2 / 1.3-1.3 xG
Forest 0-0 / 1.7-0.2 xG
And people questioned how De Zerbi would adapt to the PL

If the underlaying stats are still good doubt anyone at the club is too worried. Was very pleasing to get a good win over them in the Bloom/Benham grudge match though
Never heard of this lad before today, but after a couple of YouTube highlight vids I am sold! I am guessing this is our Mwepu replacement.
Quite glad that Chelsea and Potter are being booed. The asset strippping of our club by Chelsea is unbelievable.
Heard a Brighton fan on the radio saying ot was like Boelhy looked around for a well run club and then decided to rip off the whole lot by taking pretty much every member of staff he could.
Hope we beat them today - we deserve it, before they take our goalposts and tea lady.

Silva just made the best two saves of the season with his head.
1-0 this will do so far!
Hope we shut this silly crowd up proper.

Poor, poor, poor from Potter starting a game yet again. He cant get starting lineups and tactics correctly at start of matches.
Making tactical changes during a game doesnt make you a tactical genius, just means you cant get your tactics correctly at first, id say thats a lack of tactical nous.

No different to any other big club going after managers and players from smaller clubs. Ex-manager is always going to take staff and players with him.
That's not working out to well for you so far! I hope this post doesn't age to badly over the next 90 mins
Potter is actually being booed? Yikes.
I would've thought Brighton fans would be grateful he had them overperforming as much as he did while he was there, as they were obviously lucky to have him at their club. And him naturally moving on to a much bigger club when they came calling is hardly cause for antipathy. Given they also bizarrely booed the team around this time last year after a draw with Leeds, I'm now wondering if they just have notions about themselves.

Not booing him so much, but Chelsea as a whole for stripping all our staff, Paul Winstanley is just the latest.
The boos when we played Leeds last year were by a small minority at half time and have had far too much read into them.
I loved Potter when he was with us and fully understood him going to Chelsea, but Chelsea taking both backroom staff and club management staff as well gutted us a bit and left a bad taste, especially Bruno who was a club legend for us.
You’ve done the opposite!
I can’t work out what Potter is even trying to do with this lineup and formation.
Booing Cucurella and Gallagher is a bit silly you have to admit. I understand booing Potter and Chelsea.
Well clearly. I wrote that post when we were 1-0 down.
Pffft. Your lot booed Champions League Varane when he was injured!
Cucurella makes the most sense, didn’t he effectively go on strike for pre season to try to force the City move through?
For someone who doesn’t like tit for tat stuff and bringing up unrelated players and situations, you do it an awful lot. I’ve never said booing Varane wasn’t silly.
I don’t remember that to be honest. I know he handed in a transfer request to move to City.
Don’t be so touchy! I think your lot were always going to get a tough reception today given you took their manager and decimated their staff after the season began in the manner you did. Cucerella was also a bit of an arse when he wanted to leave from memory.
That’s on top of what a big side gets anyway when they go to these places. You could have really done with an early goal to silence them.
Chelsea getting pumped 
Brighton need to cool down now. We don’t want Potter getting sacked.

Caicedo needs signing up
I didn’t mind Cucu going we got a lot of money for him. Gallagher played for palace so of course he’ll be booed.
Anyway when you’re 3-0 up who cares who’s booed it’s obviously working!
This has aged...relatively badly I say.
We've got casemiro now so maybe when we wanted to replace him, is an United fan as well so that's a plus.
Happy for you and the club for the reasons you mentioned earlier. Enjoy.
I’m not being touchy. I’m just answering your post. But yeah, I was talking booing specific players, but it’s all immaterial now innit. We’re getting battered.
You mean backroom staff ? This is usually normal when some managers leave. Who else has has Chelsea taken from Brighton ?
Cheers - I am loving this, just hope we can keep up this intensity for the second half.
Tbh the only disappointment for Brighton is how are they not 6-0 up already.
Yeah score line makes it all immaterial. Brighton fans will feel a bit vindication with the way this game is going. Hope we at least make it a respectable score line.
You’re not wrong. In my defence, I didn’t anticipate us scoring 2 goals for them.
Our recruitment analyst and this week they’re taking Paul Winstanley our head of recruitment. There was also a lot of bitterness over Bruno going, ex club captain and club legend.
Yeah a disaster class to say the least.
I really like Potter but he seems a bit lost about what his preferred line up is, seems to just throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.
Not up to date on this, but why the anger from Brighton fans towards Chelsea? It it just because of Potter or something else too?
Read up on the posts before, seems to be about them gutting brighton's backroom staff or something to that effect.
How good is Trossard?
