You gave Ndombele the same wage as Kane. Perisic is on 180k a week to be a backup wing back.

 

English football is nuts, but our recruitment is definitely the worst. 

 

Perisic will be a starter soon.

Let's not get carried away. Sancho was one of the highest rated talents in Europe and was phenomenal for Dortmund. 

 

He's also just turned 22.

 

Sancho has had a rough start but I don't think anyone who had seen him at Dortmund thought it was too much money for him.

Apparently, Man United are looking to table a bid for Pervis Estupinan after the left back impressed during his medical at Brighton 

 

 

*I'll get my coat


Must be class being a Brighton fan when it comes to deals. This aside it’s nearly always a proper throw back to it being players you have little idea about from some exotic land and don’t even have a techno laced welcome to Brighton YouTube video to scout them on.

This summer it seems transfers have gotten completely out of control but dunno if anything can be done. £80m for Nunez, £65m for Cucerella, Martinez £50m?, Richarlison £50m? Gibbs-White £45m :lol:  Its Gone fucking bonkers

Not to go full Flip, but Richarlison for £50m seems like really good value to me, even more so when compared to the rest of them. Big thing with Richarlison is that he is just as good playing off the striker or on the wing as he is as being their best cover for Kane they could probably get. It's quite a similar position to where we are with Wilson actually.

Gakpo plays on the left. Are they expecting and going to accept a late bid for Rashford? A top European club? Arsenal? Us? Klopp even? 

 

Rashford walks next summer and will cost them 40? 50? million in lost transfer fees. A million quid a game on top of his large wages. Ten Haag has come out with "I want him" type comments, but they are no different to what any manager says about any player, e.g., Eddie Howe about Paul Dummett. Another major player walking away like Pogba, this time a non-scapegoat, prolongs the bad smell. Liverpool bit the bullet and sold Mane with a year left on his contract. That's what sensible clubs do.

City will pay fuck all for Haaland's first year at City. No payments will be made before next summer. 

 

Given this big spaff on Casemiro, did Man U not consider Kalvin Phillips? He offers pretty much the same thing for a fraction of the price, is much younger, is league tested, home rule player, ....

 

Phillips himself needs to play to cement an England place, but isn't number one DM at Man City.

Full Flip is a good thing. Go there as often as you want :lol:

No, they were convinced they were getting De Jong.

Not a chance Phillips would have joined Man Utd. The hatred Leeds have for Man Utd is up there and as a hometown Leeds lad who bigged up his credentials it’ll have been death threat central.

It's brilliant all-round being a Brighton fan right now. I still can't get my head around the fact we're a mid-table PL team. When I started taking my 2 sons to Withdean, we sat in temporary stands/ Crowds of 5,000 watching us lose regularly to Oldham, Swindon, Walsall. I've got a lot of good memories of that time - my two lads defiantly and proudly supporting their local club, a feeling that you knew either personally or by sight every other Brighton fan & cracking away days at Orient, Millwall, Southend, Plymouth, Darlington but it was v.dark days for the club. Even up to 2008, I was afraid we could go out of business.

 

And if you want a throw-back to signing obscure players - here's a photo of Jonny Dixon signing for us in 2008. God knows why we signed him or even how we found him. Played only a couple of times and was bloody awful even by our standards. He quit football shortly after and became a DJ. He's best remembered for two reasons: That jumper he's wearing in the photo and because he was dating Holly Vallance at the time.

Its a fine jumper tbf to the bloke. 
 

As an older fan it must make a huge difference seeing young kids kids the town supporting their local club and not Man Utd, Arsenal or whoever. Imagine it’s the same in Bournemouth to a lesser degree. When I lived there you’d be more likely to see one of our shirts than a local one.

Was doing my TOONdle the other day and reminiscing about Blyth Spartan's Alan Shoulder and North Shields' Peter Cartwright ????
