Yep l agree, stellar he most certainly was. I just hope beyond hope, that there won't be a parting of the ways.
That said £70m, if it was offered, may be a little too tempting to refuse.
I think it will be very difficult to attract a club prepared to shell out that sort of fee. He hasn't exactly shown the best form, or attitude, in recent months.
That said, l do rate him, and if he is prepared to knuckle down, toe the club line etc. he can be a fantastic player. That season...
Hard to disagree, l like him too. But . . . if we receive an offer for him that gives us a substantial profit, then we will move him on.
It is the Brighton way of doing things after all.
Plus the way he was trying to incite the home faithful to make even more noise, after he banged in his pen in the Forest shootout.
For me he does still care, and we shouldn't all jump on the bandwagon and presume he is off, just because he was missing from the squad last night. Let's wait and see.
Agreed, we may not be able to officially announce it until the window opens for all l know. For that reason l am going to wait until then before l celebrate anything.
