We have a Moses, Mohammed and Jesus by our side. We’re sorted.
I get the vibe Brighton aren’t fully objecting the possibility of a move here.
Money talks. They probably only didn’t want to do business with Chelsea because they didn’t want to strengthen a direct rival.
Lmfao.
It all goes back to where we were talking about the squad.
We truly have a paper thin squad and riding the luck.
Missing our a 3rd/4th CM in Elneny, and suddenly we need an urgent buy (if not panic).
They are probably willing to sell if they can rinse us a bit. Whether we’re willing to be rinsed (or desperate enough) I don’t know.
I think one unusual aspect of the situation is that I’m not convinced they really want European football. For a club like Brighton qualifying for the Europa or Conference league has a real winner’s curse dynamic. You don’t get that much money and all of a sudden your squad is totally insufficient. The club can’t say this publicly, because of course the supporters want European football, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are people at a very smartly run club like Brighton that would be pretty happy finishing 8th this year rather than 7th.
Can we also loan Lokonga to them as part of the deal?
What would Brighton do with a Lokonga lol
Is he a Partey replacement?
Similar to Partey? If so yes please.
Plenty of minutes to be had with the U21s.
Idk, to me it seems we’re just trying to spark Caicedo to push for the move with this bid, no way Brighton would sell now for that money.
I’d be masivelly surprised if we manage to get it done in this window, much more likely this is just the start of the negotiations to get him in the summer.
I’d be much more happy with him than Rice, needless to say, I’m glad Arteta sees it the same way
When did Berger become an ITK?
Mans got bills to pay
If the £60m bid is true, I would be really happy of this.
Not only showing we see our weakness, but also our ambition.
Btw this only confirms yet again, Sky are an absolute shithole, sewer level source. Can’t believe people still take them serously nowadays.
Rice being our number one target lol
I don’t think this is the Czech Maradona, looks like just some journo.
This Berger guy said we were going for Diaby a week or so ago, how’s that working out?
Yeah the Liverpool Berger was better looking too
