KaKa Posted Saturday at 20:22 Share Posted Saturday at 20:22 2 minutes ago, Wolfcastle said: The sad brutal reality is - Brighton are buying him with a mind to selling him for a profit themselves (they'll be lauded for doing the exact same thing in that event) They also have the luxury of sitting in mid table and playing all these guys to raise their value. We are trying to push and challenge at the top. We do not have this luxury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upthemags Posted Saturday at 20:22 Share Posted Saturday at 20:22 Just now, STM said: You are pretty much on the negative side of every argument. I'm not saying you are wrong but surely you must notice of yourself constantly battling on the dark side? You aren't the only one and certainly not the worst. It's just interesting the way some choose to view the (footballing) world. I recognize Im probably in this category as well. But I just dont see the evil in saying yea, this was the right move in our current predicament, but that doesn't mean it was prudent management from the get-go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted Saturday at 20:23 Share Posted Saturday at 20:23 Just now, SUPERTOON said: I have no real issue with the deal, more we left it this late to get it done and hopefully comply with PSR. (Reports suggesting we may still be short). Don't disagree. It's a frustration and I'd like to know how we got here, in order to cast blame in the right direction. The only thing I will say is that we clearly aren't the only ones. Half the league have been "close" to breaching PSR if we are to believe reports.

black_n_white Posted Saturday at 20:24 Share Posted Saturday at 20:24 It’s the deal that had to happen, not to say I’m happy about it. At least it’s not as though we made a mistake selling him if he turns out to be decent, we were forced into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonsays Posted Saturday at 20:27 Share Posted Saturday at 20:27 I'm sure he's decent, but the fact that only Everton and Brighton in the Premier.League seem to be interested in him isn't really a ringing endorsement. It suggests he is very raw and perhaps even something of a gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just interesting the way some choose to view the (footballing) world. I’m not negative. This clearly isn’t the worst case scenario. Taking points deductions or selling Isak or someone would’ve been far worse. I’ve said this repeatedly. One or two have said this is ‘gross mismanagent’ or similar and I’ve disagreed. But at the same token. We’ve made a few bad calls and miscalculations. And ultimately we’ve been a bit lucky. If not Minteh, it would’ve had to be Gordon or someone. That’s both a relief and scary.

Jonas Posted Saturday at 20:30 Share Posted Saturday at 20:30 (edited) Without Barnes' contributions this season in his limited appearances we finish nearer midtable and the same people would be hopping mad we didn't sign somebody of his ilk. Brighton can afford this because they sell players. Its the same soulless shit for them. Edited Saturday at 20:31 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
