Very sad when a local lad refuses to play for his club. I can only speculate that his agent told him not to play and get cup tied as it would slightly lower his value and earning potential and subsequent cut for the agent in question. It can only be about money with the proposed move to Fulham...
He won't play against Walsall as it will cup tie him. The telling time will actually be 6pm, Tuesday 1st Sept when he'll either be a Brighton player or he won't. At some point either Fulham will give up the chase or get their man, however, I can see a PL team matching any fee agreed with Fulham...
We all want to play? Me, you, Kellie & Hilda naked in a cage. American wrestling just like you love it old boy[emoji7]. Call it? I'll get it on for you!
This is the most salient point.
You can sort of understand De Gea going on strike because he wants to return to Spain and probably the biggest club in the world but a local lad going on strike because he wants to go to Fulham? Can't be true. No way.
I hate the way players go on strike rather than hand in a formal transfer request. I can't believe Dunk would refuse to play because he wants to go to Fulham. If true, I'll be very upset. Sad days.
