Yes but not selling Stephens means no fee, we still got good fee's for those two when they went.

Lets also hope he doesn't get a Buckley or Bridcutt (sulky) type injury around January now he knows bids are likely if our promotion depends on this one player.

Did either of those players leave for nothing?

I agree he has played well and would love him to sign another contract, but I don't also want to see our club lose out on possibly £8 mill that could be used to bring in player/players equally as good as him. The bonus being TB also does not have to put his hand in his pocket to replace him.

If you read post 166 I have already made this point. Is it? He say's he wants Premier league football so which club does he sign for Burnley or Palace both considered now by the bookies as amongst the relegation favourite's and maybe get 3-4 months Prem football. Or does he stay at Brighton who...

Absolutely. And can we really afford let that money go, that after all could be used to strengthen without TB putting his hand in his pocket further.

I agree that TB said the top offer came in too late and the club would not have had time to react. But we are a couple of months from the window and I do feel that offer maybe reached again or even bettered, so they could be looking for a replacement/replacements now and possibly use some of the...

Actually if you listen to Tony Bloom in the forum at Bristol, he stated the last bid from Burnley, we think was around £8 mill. TB stated that bid came in too late and had this bid been in early August then he hinted he could have accepted. So with Burnley reported to be offering £6 million in...

Your problem and mine is we don't know what Tony Bloom considers "silly money " for a player he paid 350k for and if Hughton feels with the silly money figure that Bloom is prepared to accept, feels he can strengthen the squad further by letting Stephens go, could have a bearing on the decision..

Firstly I did say if there was a price war and 8-10 mill was offered I would take it. Are you all saying seriously that Stephens is vital to our promotion and without him we won't go up? If so lets hope he does not get another serious injury then.

Obviously you are welcome to your opinion, but with those four I really don't think we would miss him and the rare as rocking horse shit 20 goal a season striker could be found and the money used to secure him, would make us a far better promotion prospect in my view.

Would he want Stephens if the talk of Barton returning to Burnley happens.
