There's no indication I've seen that Janssen agreed to a move to us. I've read that his agent agreed but with his client on international duty - either on the pitch or in a team de-brief at the time - Janssen himself may not have known about the proposed move until late, to which he replied...
Are you talking about Janssen?
If so, my reckoning is that issue wasn't wages as reports suggest that Janssen's agent agreed to the deal and surely that's only likely if he considered the money right for his client. It did just seem to be the case that Janssen didn't want to play for Brighton.
Indeed.
However, getting players to a team that looks doomed to relegation can be a tricky proposition and may require even greater money to be thrown at the problem in order to convince someone you actually want to commit.
We need to look like we still have a chance in the new year.
