As far as the fans are concerned. I imagine the Board were ecstatic with how it panned out.

I can't think of a better signing as a backup for Pervis. But I can't imagine he'd be happy to do that. Fans definitely over-estimate the issues around someone like him coming back. I would have thought Bloom / Barber and most of the squad were very happy with the way he left and how it worked...

**** me. Brighton showing a lack of ambition. The club that went from playing in front of 1,000 people at home games 70 miles away from Brighton to finishing 9th in the Premier League and having some of the biggest teams on the planet scrapping over paying us £50 million for our players in less...

Surely there's not actually a genuine chance of him staying now, is there?

No doubt I'll be called a disgusting xenophobic ******* for this, but British players tend to have a better record than European or South American players do at knuckling down and carrying on without sulking when they don't get the move they wanted!

Don't see why that matters. They tried to get a bargain (let's not forget Cucu has had one good season in the Premier League, so £40 million still isn't exactly cheap!) and weren't prepared to pay over the odds, so they didn't. It sounds pretty similar to the way we operate really. Compare that...

For all the criticism of City's approach, this seems like a very sensible way to do business to me.

It's a dreadful strategy to try and run a club sustainably, isn't it?

I think he'll go too. If we can get £50 million then fine, that's a great deal for us, even with no replacement. It's also another great message for us to send out. That we buy young, promising players and play them in the first team and if they do well they will get their move to a top 6 club...

I think to call him a fraud might be stretching it a bit somehow.

Swansman you just get stranger and stranger. Andy Naylor Groupies!? The journalist who has come in for more criticism on NSC than every other journalist on the planet altogether, and is fairly roundly disliked by a lot of Brighton fans. Whatever next? It's still that same point again, that...

Do you think Andy Naylor doesn't have a 'hotline' to Paul Barber? You really struggle to understand how things work at this club, don't you? Understandable I guess, given your location. Are you ever going to come and watch us?
