Reminder that the player agreed to join us it was virtually a done deal and saints swooped in at the last minute. I think at the time we couldnt gaurantee him as a starter (which might be a sticking point again)

One to keep an eye on for us according to Naylor https://theathletic.com/4592472/2023/06/12/brighton-summer-transfer-window-premier-league?source=user-shared-article

That's a fair comment.... But judging by what I saw he looks very similar to lamptey. Maybe better suited as a winger. At 18, some talent. Really p1sses me off that we lost out to a team heavily on the way down like Saints. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

Wow this guy looked depresingly good on Saturday, saints fans already comparing him to Bale. There was a highlights reel that was insane but has been taken down now. Sooooo frustrating. https://twitter.com/ZaleCFC/status/1426554214860394498?s=19

I won't go on and this is my final word. if we were given the opportunity to put Messi in our team for one season before he was a superstar and we were offered 20m to do this. Do you really think we would be looking back in anger later on when he gets transferred for 200 million !! I very...

We don't know the ins and outs of the deal that's the problem. I think the player turned us down because we couldnt gaurantee him minutes. Back to the lamptey discussion again. If we went back in time and chelsea had put in the 25m buy back clause .... In hindsight I would 100% have taken the...

You need to readjust your thinking then. For arguments sake it's an imaginary 20m + 5m real money deal if he's playing well which is probably market value. If he's crap you lose 5m (no worries there) .....a very risk free sensible transfer policy with little risk. Sent from my SM-G986B using...

Never heard of a loan where you get 20m for putting a player in your team. Lots of teams loan players and get nothing in return. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

No because you got value out of him when he played.so in effect you're paying money for the player for playing well after a measly initial outlay ....good deal. Ali j , locadia , propper , iquerdo you pay a lot for and get nothing in return. These are bad deals. Sent from my SM-G986B using...

Someones still going to have to explain the downside of this to me ?!?! If Chelsea were to buy back it means the guy has performed amazingly for us and we would get a massive profit back as well. Win/win. It just seems an ego move not to accept a deal like that and as previously stated would...

Really hope this one doesn't come back to haunt us. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

Whatever !! Regardless of nationality the thinking is the same. Are you really going to tell me that if the deal for lamptey included a 25m buy back clause for Chelsea you wouldn't have taken him ? Of course you would and so would every other fan. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

Hmmm it doesnt quite work like that... If he's gonna be a 50m player. Which is highly unlikely anyway. I suspect he will be worth that in a few years whether he signs for us or not. Again if he is worth that much as a non English RB he would be one of the best in the world so I suspect we...

20m of benefits !!! Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

If the player is amazing you get at least one good season out of him and 20m profit. To me this seems like a no brainer. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

The buyback clause is 25m. We wouldn't turn that down !! More than likely we can't guarantee him game time. Too risky. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

He won't sign unless hes part of the first team squad Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
