Greg Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It'll take more than Locadia and Mitrovic to keep Brighton up, like. Why? they have been pretty comfortable all season and are 16th atm, think they'll be fine regardless personally. Been on a downward trajectory for some time now and only two points above the relegation zone. One win in last 13, including defeats to Huddersfield and West Brom. They're in big trouble.

Bad form which, if they don't arrest for the next 3 or 4 decent fixtures, will turn nasty because their games get bad. Not a particularly high standard of striker either, as much as I like Mitrovic.

SEMTEX Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Mitro @ NUFC or Mitro @ Brighton That is the only relevant part to this transfer. The money is meaningless. If you think he's so shit that he'd actively cause issues at Brighton, then I can see why you'd want to sell. Otherwise, I see absolutely zero reason to part with him. Or anyone else.

Dave Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 This can't be right. If they were prepared to go to £15m why not just ask us the selling price in the first place instead of f***ing about with a bid half of what we want? But aye, this would just fund the new striker. Sky will be sucking Ashley off and ignore the fact all the TV money and previous income has miraculously disappeared once again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won once in the league since the start of November That's fair, although without looking i wouldn't be surprised if others have had similar bad runs because tbh most of the bottom half teams are crap tbh.

Won once in the league since the start of November We've won twice since the same weekend, and have 1 more point than them in that time.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Given his contribution is zero, it's basically a £15m windfall without any damage to the first XI. I know it's strengthening a rival but if they don't buy him they'll buy someone else so they're going to strengthen regardless. Just f***ing sick we won't put another 15m with it and get a proper striker for 30m. Perfectly capable of doing it but they absolutely refuse to do do. I honestly think it’s more about wages more than the actual fee to buy a player that holds us back these days. Oh and if true, 15m, it’s a no brainier.

Tsunami Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 If we’ve been offered £15M he’ll be off. Rafa won’t play him so we’ve got to take the best price going. He’s so far down the pecking order losing him will make no difference to the squad as it is. Hopefully we can get shod of Colback as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bit I agree with like I said. Goals is what they're missing, no need for us to aid them in getting them. We know Mitro will score in this league even though he's not a Rafa "type" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's not even just about the money. We have a full 25 man squad so somebody needs to go. It might as well be a player who can't even make the matchday squad and Rafa clearly doesn't fancy. Right now other than Colback he's the most expendable of the whole 25.

54 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yeah we need to sell at that tbh, I like him, and hoped he'd come good but Rafa clearly doesn't favour him and that too much money to say no too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 So we take the £15m from Mitro and add it to the £20m we were going to spend on Jorgensen and go right out and get a £35m striker yeah? That's how these things work surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I mean any normal club would just unregister knackers like Colback etc, but it's clearly being used as one of the many excuses to stop Rafa signing people. He spent the whole summer saying we needed to shift players out the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
