[Albion] Selling club forever?

[Brianpowney61]

By and large the hierarchy at Brighton have been nothing less than sensational for the , club with not only its development but also the astute signings and shrewd work in the transfer market. However, the danger signs are there for all to see particularly for the supporters who will eventually become disenchanted with the now regularity of top players leaving after hissy fits in the middle of contracts . Needless to say the majority that have left have achieved very little but the question is what is the ambition of the club, are we supposed to be happy just to stay in Premier league and fight for survival or do we kick on and go for glory . If Caicedo goes so do any thoughts of Europe what’s wrong with him leaving at the end of the season Arsenal will still be there.

It took 4 years to come up with that?

I've already bookmarked 2027.

Which clubs don't sell players?

 

[A1X]

Didn’t we just buy someone?

 

[LennyTee]

Why respond? It's clearly a wind up on par with a Strictly Come Dancing thread.
If it's not, he is either Palace, Chelsea, Arsenal or for some reason Norwich.

Alex Pritchard?

Or Swansman?

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Yes all clubs sell players. We can stop selling players when we become an amateur club.

yeah terrible post, but the op joined in 2019 and it’s their first post. Explain that.

It took us a while to get rid of Big Jurg - that could have been the start of something beautiful

Not sure about the pissy responses, its a perfectly reasonable post. I'm getting increasingly angsty about getting cherry-picked by the usual "big six" dullards who can't do their own scouting.

My consolation is that we are, for the most part, absolutely pulling teams pants down on the fees and playing hardball. But I hate the fact we are now always getting pillaged and fighting to hold on to our outrageous talent. I know Moises is off, but if we lose Mitoma in the summer, and (probably) Mac, then I am going to lose my shit.

Exactly my point maybe I didn’t put it across as elequantly as all the doubters would have liked it, and just for the record been a seagulls supporter for 50+ years

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Every club in world football with the exception of PSG/City maybe a couple more are selling clubs

Its a weird term.

Odd time to post then, bearing in mind our point blank refusal to sell a player. (Moises).

City have just let Cancelo go.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

The day we don't sell will be the death of the club.....

Don’t get it where’s the wind up

In the first 4 years of our Premier league tenure we barely sold a bean. Now all of a sudden with our progress on the field invariably comes more interest in our players. It's how we stay SUSTAINABLE.

At least we now have players good enough to be sought after by bigger clubs, but as long as we continue to act prudently then long may this continue. I for one hope that IF Caicedo and Big Mac go in the summer then Tony can recoup some of the funds to pay himself back for the vast sums he's propped us up with over the years.

Just becuse we don't spend BIG doesn't mean we are purely a selling club. More often than not players that clubs spend a fortune on can often disappoint and spending £30m or £40m guarantees us nothing. Look at Nunez at Liverpool (hardly pulling up any trees) and our mistakes with Ali J and Locadia which were big fees for us at the time.

I personally like our approach to the transfer market, and if one day we do struggle and go down, then hopefully we won't go down with a barrow full of debt.
