I'm sure our Dan does a thorough job of bird carcass disposal as he goes about his appointed rounds keeping the property in good order. All part of being the Hub of the Wheel.

We are really missing those attributes, and he's a better footballer than people give him credit for, but it does show up the mediocre standard of the rest of our midfielders. Longstaff and Miley are hardly waifs, both are six foot plus, but both lack athleticism and physicality. Miley makes up for it with other qualities, and he's just learning the game, but we need proper midfielders who can cope with the top teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Brighton's wage budget is like 13th or 14th highest in the league. Excellently managed. I'm not against his approach. 4 minutes ago, TRon said: We are really missing those attributes, and he's a better footballer than people give him credit for, but it does show up the mediocre standard of the rest of our midfielders.

Aggressive, first to the tackle etc. Both of them force the team up the pitch when out of possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 He is a key piece to retaining Bruno too. Bruno is going eventually but I think there is a much higher probability of him staying while Joelinton is here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Can’t wait until he’s back playing, hopefully in the black and white. I’ve missed his interchange with Willock on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Whilst I will be delighted if he stays, does having to have the owners come in to sort out Bruno and now Joelinton’s contract maybe show some issues with Ashworth ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Where’s he got that £180k a week from? I didn’t even think Bruno’s new deal was rumoured to be that much. Didn’t realise he might be back playing this season. That would be a boost if he was available for the last few games and we had something to play for.

That would make him the top earner above Bruno so that's not going to happen. I think he'll be offered the 2nd best tier of £120k a week to put him alongside the likes of Isak, Tonali and Trippier. If he does not accept that he can fk off and we'll get back more or less what we paid for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jow Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Imagine if employment contracts were like this. Just casually telling your employer how much you should earn and them having to stump it up or sell you/release you on a free to a rival firm. Transfer Deadline Day at the end of the financial year, with Jasmine eyeing up a switch from Aldi to Lidl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard indirectly from managers where I’ve worked that they’ll only offer pay rises if staff hand their notices in and then they will counter offer. From speaking to recruiters and also mates that work in that kind of field. They reckon more than half their candidates will get an offer, say it’s not about the money. Then stay when they get countered. It’s a bit shit that so many businesses operate this way and also employees, as well. But seems to be pretty common place.

Dokko Posted March 5, 2024 Share Posted March 5, 2024 Apparently it's been agreed, will be announced today or tomorrow. Makes me think was Ashworth delaying it on purpose so manure could get him on the cheap or free the year after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
