[Albion] Biss. His next destination?

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

What? We all know about the investigation but on the pitch?

24 starts this season, 10 yellow cards. Although I wouldn’t say it was an on pitch discipline issue that is a high number of cards. Considering those yellows have come from him giving away just 30 fouls this season I’d say it’s more because of the positions he plays and the type of player he is than anything else.

 

[GT49er]

Last extension to his bail was until the 6th June.

That's the friend who was arrested with him, I believe. There's no restrictions on Biss to stop him playing anywhere as he's not on bail.



................. and his next destination? Phuket, or maybe the Maldives, I reckon!

 

[METALMICKY]

If we are resigned to losing him I only hope we get the right fee. Really not sure why on earth he'd go to Villa as really a bit of a sideways move. As for Newcastle it's the money bags move but even with all their cash I don't see them immediately challenging man city or Liverpool.

If their scouts have any sense Spurs, Arsenal or Man United should be falling over themselves to get him.

 

[nwgull]

Villa supporting relative seems to think it's already a done deal and they've got a steal.

Well we already turned down £35m from them, so it makes perfect sense that we'd do a cut-price deal with them before the window even opens and preclude a summer bidding war involving clubs with more financial clout not to mention more attraction for the player himself in terms of professional aspirations.

Those we’re my thoughts. Some of the bookings have also been reasonably tame to.

 

[KZNSeagull]

There was a bit in the press last week by Smug Eddie saying Newcastle will have less that 100 million to spend so it will depend in their priorities if that’s true.

If he don’t want to stay he can go to whoever pays us the most money.

He’s no Albion legend, stay another season and he may be spoken about in those terms.

TB can play hardball and make him stay and end his contract but he won’t TB is not stupid and I’m 100% sure GP and TB et al have a plan.

Well that rules them out then - we would want at least that from them if they come knocking.

£5 to whoever spots the real ‘CrodoVilla’ on their 85 page Bissouma thread

https://www.villatalk.com/topic/22623-yves-bissouma/page/85/#comments

I read the last page. Didn't see Crodo but I did see a lot of people talking as if they could sign anyone they wanted. It was quite an interesting discussion about Bissouma's best position and whether it would be better to sign him, Phillips, Kamara or someone else.

There wasn't a Leeds like level of club hyperbole and hubris, just a quiet, unstated assumption that they could sign whomever they wanted. For that reason alone if Biss does leave it would put a smile on my face if he turned them down for another club. Even better would be if he turned them down when they're the only buying option.

 

[Justice]

Make him our highest earner and be done with it rather than sell to Villa if moneys the stumbling block.

If he played for a top six club he wouldn't have got half the bookings imo

I think he'll end up at Newcastle for the wonga but I think TB may make it incredibly awkward for him to go there. In fact scrap that TB won't let Newcastle buy him on reflection

 

[Perkino]

Man Utd, Spurs & Arsenal all need a central midfielder like him. Chelsea have plenty whilst Liverpool & Man City won't offer many starts. He has been superb for two seasons and I'd hate to see him make a sideways step to a club that isn't top 6

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I'll be pretty gutted if he ONLY goes to Villa but if they offer more cash than anyone else then perhaps pragmatism wins over pride.

 

[drew]

I missed the agent's press release. Anyone got a link?

 

[WATFORD zero]

[MENTION=17322]Lenny Rider[/MENTION], I can't seem to find this press release, any clues ?

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Could be following in the steps of George Best.

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Could be following in the steps of George Best.

What? He's going to play for Stockport County?

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I would say PSG would be a very good fit.

 

[Silverhatch]

Absolutely want him to stay - but if he does go, he should play at the very top, City so NEED to replace Fernandinho and he's the perfect candidate. He will make any of the Toxic six better sides.

Should stay at Brighton though - 100%

 

[Whoislloydy]

Hold onto him and let him leave on a free next summer. He's invaluable to us, as proven by his absence from the squad when injured/suspended.

 

[Weststander]

Arsenal. Arteta’s got something very, very special going on and lots of Albion ‘fans’ secretly support them.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Liverpool: Stacked, and Milner's been offered a 1-year extension, so unlikely.
Citeh: Stacked, and fernandinho's replacement likely to be Tchouameni so - again - unlikely.
Chelsea: Stacked. And even if Jorginho does leave Conor Gallagher is returning from Palace. Unlikely.
Man Utd: Vacancies in squad but new manager likely to bring in Frenkie De Jong or else marquee players like Bellingham, Rice, even Kalvin Phillips. He doesn't know Bissouma.
Arsenal: Could be a vacancy if Elneny contract not renewed but would have to displace Xhaka / Odegaard / Partey / Lokonga. Possible.
Spurs: He is better than Hojbjerg, Skipp and could be a rock alongside Bentancourt / possibly Eriksen. A London move - European football, Conte a superb manager. This looks the best move in terms of game time and fit.
Non-top 6: Why bother?
