This ^. Feels like we barely got to see what he could do.

Honestly don't see anyway that isn't red. A dumb thing to do.

Potential is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. He could be sold on for a massive profit with that shared back to his current club. Or he could flop massively, leave on a free and they could end up with sweet FA. Or, if you prefer, he could be a massive hit, but love the sunny South coast so...

In the case of Mitoma, he turned down a chance to go pro early since he didn't feel ready and he wanted to finish his degree. Mitoma has a history of carefully considering his career moves. That makes me think he's not going to jump immediately at the first big money offer.

might, might be more than $4m. Alternatively, it could be less. Maybe a lot less. Or nothing at all. Say we sign him with the sell on, he flops and is let go on a free a couple years from now. Certainly we hope that doesn't happen, but it is a possibility. There are a lot of unknowns. Or what if...

From what I can gather here, I think the idea is that he currently has a $10m release clause, but if he signs the new contract on the table, that will be raised to $14m sometime next week. Brighton offered $10m + 10% sell on now in the hopes of getting this done before the new contract goes into...

Doesn't work with a release clause

If your first bid is accepted, then you might have offered too much!

Ah! Right you are. I'd forgotten that bit.

Wouldn't necessarily have to be a loan back. Wasn't there that other lad (that I've already forgotten his name) that we've already got lined up to join in January?
