Hes had one season in the Dutch league? How have you come to the conclusion he’d be better than both of them? 

It's obvious really he's rapid and scores goals. Plus brighton don't scout duds. 

Miggy is quick but doesn't have a brain

Murphy is decent player but a utility at best.

Can't believe we bought him for £250m and sold him for £1 to Brighton. What were we thinking

Crazy shit. I blame Sean longstaff and the tealady (rip)

Going off the first page skimming I did this seems fabricated. People realised he wasn't going to be ready for first team football at PL level, hence one for the future, but it certainly wasn't a case of people assuming he was bought with the specific intention to be flipped for a profit.

 

As with any young player you can never really be certain how they will develop, so chances are they will never see the first team and be sold or let go. I'm with TCD on that it can never have been a pre-set plan to flip such a young, unproven player for 4 times their initial fee inside a year. That's just not how football works or everybody would be doing it if it was that simple.

 

The reality of the situation, whether we like it or not, is we spotted an exceptional young player who developed really well on loan and who attracted interest from rival PL clubs as well as renowned clubs from abroad with an eye for talent, like Dortmund and Lyon. He could have been blooded into our team this pre-season and if continued to develop well, become a mainstay in our team in a position where we've not had an undisputed starter for over a decade. Sadly however, we had to let him go because we had got ourselves into a PSR mess. An understandable decision all things considered, but certainly not a pre-meditated one.

Would recommend going past the first page - some of those who liked your comment made this very point.

But Brighton didn't scout him, we did.

Good goal but it's in a pre-season friendly against a Japanese team who were in the second division last season. Not going to bother ruing his sale until he starts doing it consistently in the PL.
