Veltman had a clause allowing us to sign him for £1m as he stayed an extra season with Ajax.
Haarland and other players in Germany also often have a clause built in...we agreed a contract extension before the world cup that insured we had a happy player and what looks like a guaranteed min fee...
After 120 minutes on Sunday and the emotional impact of that tonight's result surely wasn't unexpected....it doesn't mean we are not a great team - the best team we've had in my lifetime
The benefit to BHA would be a happier/richer player and recognition that his status in the team is far above his current contract, whilst not holding him back.
He is perfectly right to seek out more money in a short and elite career.
BHA are perfectly right to say wait until summer.
This would...
I'd offer him a new contract, same length but put him as top earner with others and a release clause for a champions league team of £100m from June...
Gives him a massive income boost for 4 months+ whilst making it clear we will sell.
German clubs often seem to take this approach.
It does look like an accidental post..as the name Moises at the top surely wouldn't usually be posted?
I was hoping we would keep him until the summer as a minimum, he has transformed results since coming in to the team a year ago. Massive shame if he goes now, pulled apart in January by untold...
Arguably he has completed the Brighton project. He has taken himself, players and the club to the point the only clubs we sell too are in the champions league and we are sitting in the group below them in the table.
I'm sad but pleased for him. What a success story his career has been so far...
Also...Kent police officer at entrance actually said to us that only 1 french custom booth was operating when all were open. Fakenews that very much suits the rhetoric
Travelled today and we live a mile from the tunnel and know people who work for boarder force and Eurotunnel. Left the house for a 6.20 crossing at 4.40. m20 j11 closed with no signage and no one in attendance. Joined a mega queue at 5am on the A20 in the hope that it would lead to the back...
It could be a once in a lifetime chance for him, if the offer is ridiculous then he will surely go. But we hold the cards and should be looking for £60m+!
Just moved to a new house and have a big 30 yr mortgage after reaching the point we could have cleared it in a few years on our old house...was reaching the point I had to go for it if I wanted the dream home.
managed to lock in for 5 years at 1.49% though
