Why would any Evertonians ever think the opinions of Brighton fans are anything but irrelevant.
Skirting with relegation since they got in the Prem and best ever finish is a lofty 9th on 51 points.
They are a nothing club.
Deluded Southern Scruffs.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
They're also a better ran and football side.

Player Valuation: £10m
Because they are a far better run club than Everton that okay better football than we have for decades on a fraction of our budget.
You're acting like a scab six fan. Everton are not entitled to anything. Cups 25 years ago aren't worth much today.
Really ?
They've had 1 half decent season .
They are doing ok atm yet that can end just as soon as it started.
Nothing club on a bit of a run.

What a absolutely horrible way of describing a potential signing...
To be fair it's not a bad description - he's hardly Thierry Henry is he?
If someone said to me "they're a well ran club" I'd think Bayern Munich not Brighton in all honesty. They were playing out of athletics stadium not so long ago and have touched lucky with Potter.
Can see why Lampard might want him, for pressing up top, and link up play but we will need someone else up there with him.
Reasons why I think at £15m he'd be a good, pragmatic signing.
- Brighton wanted to keep him. He wouldn't renew. He's been an important player for them and still would be if he wanted to stay.
- He's only available, and for a good price because he's in the last year of his deal. From January, he can open talks with any foreign club about a free transfer.
- League goals - 10 in 37, 8 in 33, 8 in 35. Their top goal scorer in those 3 seasons. Over those 3 years, he's contributed a third of their goals.
- Compare how he'd rank at 10, 8 and 8 in an Everton team the past 3 years.
- He's 25, he hit double figures (ok, 10 league goals) in his debut season as a 21/22 year old for Brighton.
- It sounds daft, but he tends to score goals that matter. It's not like he slots 3 in a 4-0 win to bump up his numbers - 'Take away the nine he netted in 2021-22 and Brighton’s record-breaking ninth place finish becomes 14th spot in the table. Maupay was single-handedly worth seven points last season.'
- He has a very good fitness record.
- People like to say 'Brighton create loads of chances, Maupay misses loads' - he has a better conversion rate than most, including Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.
- He's low risk in that he's 'proven' in the Prem, young enough to do a few years and sell for profit.
- Playing style. He's a bit street footballer - he brings energy, tenacity and some snide. He's a bit of an angry ant - he can't play upfront on his tod, but he creates space for those around him. Evertonians tend to like that type of player.
- Long term target so it's not a knee jerk panic - we were linked last summer but had no chance because Brighton wouldn't sell;
He'd be a very useful player and for £15m, all day.
It would be double that, and I doubt Brighton would sell if he had 4 years on his contract.

If he's not required by Brighton I don't think he's good enough for us. For heaven's sake, why did we get rid of Simms for the season? At least he could have been given a chance.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
They've sold all their best players, made £200mill, and still look a better footballing side than we do.
We're currently flapping and missing vital players
I'm not against this, but we would need another forward as well
