I'm not sure he wants to recoup the money he has invested just yet. He has already said that his priority is to make us a permanent fixture in Premier League. Last season he converted £30m of the debt into equity and I imagine he will do so again this season.
Owning Brighton is not a normal...
It was his first runout of preseason, but he still looked more assured than Dunk who didn't have a great game.
I know highlight reels in YouTube should be taken with a pinch of salt, but having watched a lot of them, I would say Clarke's style is almost identical to that of Lewis. He is...
Correct, which is why it makes sense that so far we have only bought a winger and a CB, both areas we were already well stocked.
On the evidence of one half, Trossard looks as good as Knockaert and Clarke doesn't look £40m worse than Dunk. So if both deals happen, add that profit to the balance...
If they were on €20k a week in Europe, and command a fee of £30m, then I would expect a weekly deal of £45k plus bonuses would be enough to entice.
Players costing £50m+ would want more, but I think it's reasonable to assume we might now be capable of shopping in the £30-40m bracket and still...
If you're talking about Dunk, maybe we have bought his replacement already.
I'm thinking we might splash out on a top quality centre midfielder and or Striker. If we had a sudden windfall.
With talk of potential moves for Dunk and Knockaert, it makes sense not to spend money just yet, as our budget may be about to double, making better targets obtainable.
