I take most of your points :thumbsup: BUT I suggest Dunk is very important to our survival in this division the way things stand, one of these kids is not going to slip in and be as good. The other centre backs we have are all old and likely to get injured or knackered so losing Dunk will be a...
Hasn't gone at all well so far though has it? We invested in the team and missed out by a whisker and a strop. Since then we've done GREAT selling business and gone backwards on the field because of it. Is it really so odd that I'd like us to hang on to few of our better players for longer than...
Yeah well there you have it, a player at the end of his contract not wanting to drop a division, not really any real comparison. Last one that I can remember was John Byrne not wanting to leave to go to Sunderland. Looking forward to Dunk saying he doesn't want to go anywhere and wants to reach...
There you go a player insisting he wants to stay at Watford. Can anyone remember the last Brighton player who was being touted for a move saying he wanted to stay here?
Can you see a team of young players getting promotion? There needs to be a balance imo and in the Albion's case we have lots of good old timers at the end of their career and players like Dunk and March getting game time and experience. If we keep selling the young players and replacing them...
Nice problem, I probably would sell them, if they aren't willing to wait their turn, but only if we have ambitions to get out of this division, Loan them out for a season otherwise. You cannot keep selling your best and more experienced players. If we are happy to float around mid to lower table...
Well apart from Dunk, who is left? I can't imagine any of the others except maybe March and Walton would be of interest to a Premier Club. We have already had a rumour about March to Southampton too. EVERY very good player is moved on very quickly at this club, especially since Gus left.
It is...
Improved contracts just mean we will get a bigger fee surely? I imagine Derby and Watford players could have moved to the Premier League if they chose, but they don't seem to do it quite as readily as every Albion player worth a transfer fee.
I don't expect you to agree with me because you are...
Shame this club doesn't show the ambition that would result in players wanting to stay here and get promoted with us rather than piss off at the first opportunity. Whilst I accept that we are a selling club, I'm pretty certain that we have no hope of promotion if we sell ALL our best players at...
