Well I did for one…. They prefer Welbeck because he’s better than the rest. But that’s a pretty low benchmark

Yes - and we look worse for it. Or seeing the same things Maupay was criticised for at least…. So perhaps he wasn’t the problem

It’s not about having ‘an opportunity’ - 2 separate head coaches in top flight football haven’t deemed his quality to be enough to start a game so far. No one has a god given right for a chance, it must be earnt. Potter was happy to start Maupay immediately, but not Undav, says a lot

and now ? How’s our other options looking

But still our top PL scorer every season I can’t think of any top half PL team in our kind of position that would willingly sell their top scorer and fail to proper replace them.

Point still stands in both cases the club let our main striker and reliable source of goals go with a risky unproven replacement/s.

It happened once, apparently. Lewis Dunk once handed in a transfer request and refused to play , but his career with us has done ok ?

Selling Maupay looking every bit of a mistake as letting Murray go to Palace

But it still isn't unlimited is it ? Agreed - there is probably no real rush at the moment. Our management are probably away the moment, Welbeck agent will see what other offers are out there. I suspect the club will put a time limit on the offer on the table and will become apparent in the...

MLS salary caps in place now - would only be moving there for the experience etc rather than bags of cash

The fact he was so involved in the end of season awards makes me think there is a degree of confidence he'll be signing a new deal... but who knows, stranger things have happened

Twilight ? He's only 30! People still wanted 36 year old Glenn Murray playing for us

We can't afford a 15+ a season goal scorer. Look at who has been in that table the last few seasons and I think Chris Woods is the only one who has hit that tally and would be realistic

To be fair this is Brighton and Hove Albion. We have always signed strikers who can bang in goals, just seemingly not when they come to us. I also don't think Maupay is far away, but for whatever reason he is on a bad run of form. You can't score as many goals as he did in the Championship, and...

And moving to Turkey has hardly revitalised anyones career - see Sturridge etc. It does show that Welbeck at least has belief that he can get back to a higher level in the EPL if he has a good spell with us

7 goals in 24 games not good enough for Brighton? Give your head a wobble

South Africa?

It was in The Athletic. A lot of credit to Ashworth too

Good timing + placement for the clubs board meeting ... Following discussions with Ashworth and Potter, luck came in the way of owner-chairman Tony Bloom and chief executive Paul Barber who were perfectly positioned to seal the deal. Brighton’s board of directors normally gather at a hotel in...

No lose situation for the club. Good signing, he'll be great around the training ground and gives us another option up front. 1 Year deal which works for everyone - if he has a good season he will probably have offers better than Brighton, but it means he has done well for us. If it doesn't...
