All of you: GIVE. IT. A. REST. We all know the fee and the add-on amount - or at least the guesses as close to the real value as we will ever know. It doesn't matter how or why, it's happened. So just stop banging on about it. It's obnoxious and boring.

One difference there though is you can keep your young talent for quite a while on relatively decent wages until they got free agency. Like Soto and Judge (until this season). So Brighton would be under no pressure to sell or even offer Caicedo a new contract for a while. Plus he wouldn't want...

It is the American spelling of seagull 😜 But really it's an American eagle with an s to sound like....look it was an attempt at humor.

I would hazard a guess someone like the Royals have a closer budget to the Yankees than Luton do to man city.

I have my moments.

It is far from a perfect system either. But the way the pay is structured does make it more competitive than the premier league where the top 6 win regardless. The premier league seems to not be about being the best club with the best team but instead about being the richest club with the...

That is a deliberately obnoxious example. 1. Qatar did not qualify for the world cup on merit like Brighton and Liverpool did. 2. They are not of a similar ranking as Argentina. Brighton and Liverpool have a premier league ranking ONE place different. Are you saying the team ranked 5th in the...

That's just betting odds. All that says is Brighton are undervalued.

Why? Name a competition they are in next season that we are not.

How can you say they have a greater probability of winning something next year? They have similar chances to us. They only just finished above us this year. You are guessing at what they might achieve, it is a gamble.

Nobody has said 35. All the press indicate 45 to 55.

Exactly. It's a money thing not a footballing thing.

Why does winning a trophy a decade ago mean your current team is more likely to win one next season!? England won the world cup in 1966 but that hasn't helped them win another has it?

That's only true because people believe it. If Mac Alister stays and we add to the squad like we are going to anyway we will be pushing top 4. If people decide Liverpool are "bigger" then players leave then their belief that Liverpool will do better comes true. It's completely circular and needs...

Seems like a sideways move football-wise. Must be for the money and making a gamble that Liverpool will be in a better position to win things than Brighton over the contract length. Seems a gamble football wise really. Name a competition that they will be in next season that we won't be? He...

I disagree. I think we have to fight it or we are dooming ourselves to it getting even worse. We are doing it the right way and have to channel that anger to defeat them!

One reason, ok: Because for next season it is not a step up. It's the same level and he knows he is central to operations here and can perform well here.

This is only true because players make it true by leaving to go to the big clubs. It's part of what makes the EPL suck a bit. Players should be made to honor contracts or something. In the MLB players who get traded keep their current contract until it runs out. That way players don't move for...

Oh Alexis has been amazing so far. All I am saying is there is no footballing reason for him to go to Liverpool next season. Both clubs will be competing in the same competitions and, therefore, in direct competition with each other. I don't see how that is a daft statement. Beyond that who...
