Far more of a gamble to be forced into getting the wrong player, for the wrong price now and then be stuck with him for the rest of the season. Still 45 games to go.

Agreed and you should never say anything is certain with a few weeks of the transfer window still to go but i think Bloom and Hughton have made it pretty clear in public (and from leaked transfer activity) that their ideal outcome , which presumably Bloom agreed to fund as a strategy at their...

Its a risk (they lose form, they get injured) but obviously if you keep players then they still retain their value especially if young players on long contracts. If anything you are likely to either a) benefit from promotion £££ b) their value goes up given the TV fuelled hyper inflationary...

Its possible if you think This is only possible if : - Andy Naylor is lying - the club source or player source or agent source that gave Naylor and his equivalent Burnley Express reporter are lying - He missed training that morning and nobody noticed. - He managed to get to Burnley and back...

It really isn't possible.

Hughton wants four 4 first choice central MF in his squad given that arguably thats one of the reasons we didn't go up last year as we didn't have a lot of support for when Kayal was out during our poor run and he's looking to strengthen the squad. He clearly doesn't rate JFC, Ince, Holla and...

How wanted did the Albion fans make him feel ?

Norwood who according to one view on here "wasn't coming to sit on the bench" has said he wants Stephens to stay "100%" even thought he's er, Burnley fan. “I’ve been a Burnley fan but I 100 per cent want him to stay here. “It would be better for us if he does. “I can’t speak for Dale, I don’t...

nope. no inside info. not ITK :)

Just gut feeling. I do think the whole Twitter thing is a bit rum mind and we're always at risk to bids from the Premier League. If A.Naylor says no bid then no bid but that doesn't mean a bid isn't coming or a deal won't be done. Equally given Bloom's desire to keep players this summer and...

If he's going to leave and we've accepted an offer then the club aren't going to invent this sort of nonsense and fun and games. He's had a couple of knocks this season in pre-season but still played v Crawley, had a knock, and the was fit for Lazio all the time the club were turning down big...

i felt exactly the same last season and then out of the blue a tweet saying Dunk had signed a new contract. They'll still be working on it... Not over til its over.

Sadly I think this time its happening...

Here we go... "Brighton have already rejected three bids from Burnley for Stephens, while Crystal Palace are also keen on the midfielder, but sources have told HITC Sport that a deal is now close to being finally agreed. Burnley have made an improved offer for Stephens and Brighton are now...

Agreed. Although he did play v Crawley and Lazio.

He genuinely sounded surprised in his interview at the speed of it all,(all wrapped up in 48 hours) There was some discussion / rumour that this was in the works. See this tweet from over 2 weeks ago. (unless a well informed guess) 756079187111374848

He's OFF.

Argus has a Stephens story this morning. Palace interest ruled out. Latest (rejected) bid was "from Championship club" and Naylor says "the absence of concrete interest from an established Premier League outfit increases the chances of Albion clinging on to Stephens." there's also this quote...

No. -See code for how its been written. "He's been linked" - ie: we read it in the Argus/saw Naylor's tweet.
