I mean if you live in sugar coated candy world where unicorns jump about, and him having ambition to join one of the biggest clubs in the world is 'couldn't wait to get out', then you probably have a point.

Yes, grammatically I messed that post up a bit.

Nothing has changed other than folks don't know contract details. Neither do most of the press or media.

Hilarious really. Too much sunshine I reckon.

Better to believe Twitter and some media headlines than trust our owner I suppose...

Some people are only happy if they have something to be unhappy about.

But Naylor also wrote in The Athletic that options can be held by the club, only by the player or on agreement by both parties. It may well be there was a 1 year option, but that could have needed agreement by both club and player, or just the player. There may well have been an option, but it...

Is there definitive evidence that the option existed or was in play? His original contract was Jan 2019 for 4.5 years ending now. I don't recall it being mentioned as a year and a half left on his present deal when he signed the new contract in October.

Suddenly TB doesn’t know what he’s doing. Come on people, there are complexities and details with contracts we don’t know about. Let’s not start suggesting he’s dropped a clanger.

Kind of softens the blow when one of your 19 year olds gets goal of the season against the champions. Feels like we have a lot more excitement breaking through than we potentially have departing.

My understanding was his January 2019 contract was 4.5 years. See post above why it might not have been madness if it had the right terms for him.

The huge risk a footballer takes in running down their contract is a Moder like injury for example or worse. It may seem like a great thing to do, become a free agent in June, but suffering a huge injury in April, and what then? So it is like playing a hand of cards. I'm sure the October...

You would have to make the assumption that we'd offered him an extension long before it got down to the last 7 months of his current one - unless you in turn make the assumption we chose to leave it that late which I can't imagine was the case. So if it got down to the last 7 months and you're...

Many transfers are undisclosed, bids are not announced and clubs keep the details between them. The figures we hear are often educated guesses; 'thought to be in the region of £Xm', 'way less than £Ym'. The player may only be interested in Liverpool. Both parties need to agree to break a...

His previous contract was due to expire now wasn't it, until he signed the extension in Oct. So what people need to remember is that Alexis could have refused to sign the extension and the club would be getting nothing now. So in order to secure value the contract extension Brighton offered...

He does pay PB a very handsome sum per year to do some of the work. I imagine he trusts him to negotiate on his behalf, even if the final decision is through TB, do you really imagine TB is doing all the back and forwards on these deals?

The thing is, he's not even the best player in our team.

Was going to say the same. The 'value' of the transfer has various connotations behind the headline fee figure, whether precedent it sets to the squad, showing developing players moves happen if everyone behaves in the right way.

Simon Jordan has praised Brighton all season. I'm starting to think he's paid for his Albion+ membership.

Who haven't said he's joining Liverpool.
