I would imagine the poster who mentioned it had read something rather than made it up. I can’t remember any swap deals for other players being proposed on here but maybe just poor memory.
That’s easily explained. It’s because Tony knows how to run a football club. Unlike Chelsea we don’t go out looking for shiny glittery baubles to appease the egos of fans who take some kind of tacky reflected glory in the price of players. If we can buy Levi at a decent price because Chelsea...
You’ve completely misunderstood my post and you are now just handing out random insults. I agree with you that he should stay at Brighton. I hope he does. The only thing I disagreed with you about was when you said he would suffer if he didn’t sign for us. I thought that was a bit OTT. Still do...
And I was pointing out to you that to suggest that he would suffer by rejoining his parent club is a little silly. Especially when you consider the fact he has been there since he was 9 years old, their financial clout and their recent managerial appointment ! If you are going to post an opinion...
I’m not sure how there is any suffering. He either signs a huge contract with Brighton or a huge contract with Chelsea. Are you looking to ‘free’ him ?
Alexis and Moises are leaving. In Alexis’ case the deal is all but done. We don’t stand in players’ way as long as everything is done on our terms. Been explained multiple times. We are not trying to compete in the transfer arms race. We seek to benefit from it. If players aren’t sold then Tony...
