Don't care. We are not that cub yet - We are at this moment a defensive club still looking to survive and Shane Duffy suits that need. Don't run before you can walk. Yves Bissouma..........I am gonna post elsewhere on him...........WHAT A TALENT !

Brilliant
To be fair, I do. It shows honesty. The player foregoes some financial benefits, and the selling team get to replace the individual with a player who is not sulking, if they want to. They could always refuse to sell him.

I agree seems like an honest move to me and it's not last second either so they have plenty of time to spend the money
Well, these are fair points if you have good foresight. However, given he doesn’t have that release clause, and unlike you, I don’t believe he deserves criticism for trying to force through a move back to the Prem and away from a relegation-threatened Champ club.

Which just shows how much he wants to move away from Tinpot FC. Again, I cannot see why you are criticising him for trying to further his career, also taking a short-term financial hit.

Short term being the operative word there. I imagine he'll get a wage rise sufficiently negating any financial loss he may suffer initially.

Hughton confirmed yesterday , again , they are looking for a 4th centre back.
"For where we are at the moment, probably the only position - and this is because of numbers - is at centre-half.
"We've got the two that played last season (Lewis Dunk and Shane Duffy), we've brought in (Leon) Balogun and we want four centre-halves, which is normal.
"We're working as hard as we can.
"Unless the unexpected happens, which we don't expect it to, it will only be that position we're looking at.
"But this is football, that doesn't mean something won't happen in the last week. But we don't expect it to and, at this moment, we're not planning for it."

A slightly worrying reminder that the ‘unexpected’ could still occur in this window.
I think we can summarise what he means by the word ‘unexpected’ with aggressive bids for either/all of Izquierdo, Ryan, Dunk or Groß or long term injuries to key squad members.
I’d be happy with the window slamming shut now. Lot’s of envious eyes on us!
“No one would have believed in the last years of the twentieth century that our club was being watched keenly and closely by other teams greater than ours and yet as mortal as our own; that as Tony and his team busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water........No one gave a thought to bigger teams as sources of footballing danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of an atmosphere in their stadia as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days.......Yet across the gulf of Europe, clubs that are to our minds as ours is to Lewes FC, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regard our club with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they are drawing their plans against us.”

Not necessarily. But would be close.

Could it be the domino affect that he is referring to in that a top 6 club like Chelsea buy Pickford and Everton by another keeper and that club then come in for Ryan or more simply Man U buy Maguire, Leicester buy Lascelles and Newcastle come on for Dunk or Duffy.
Not sure Newcastle could afford either regardless of what they get for Lascelles. Look like a club in turmoil to me.

More like a serious long term injury I think BG which would force a loan or another emergency purchase outside of CB.
The club haven’t sold a player now for four years who was a first team , first choice regular.
Our players are under contract and everyone knows what happened the last time that nobbers tried to tap up one of our players.
I'm not remotely concerned.
Anyway, we are under the radar, our players are shite, and we are favourite for relegation. Luckily.

I undsersand your point but I am sure that you get my griff as to what could happen, perhaps I gave bad examples.
If Everton poach from a club below them, I think that club will be well within the realms of those Uncle Tony would happily tell to **** off - if Maty was even interested.
CH has to be prepared for a daft bid for the likes of Dunk from a top 6 club. I really can’t see any of our players leaving for a club outside the top 6.
