[Albion] Napoli interested in Billy Gilmour **Sold 30/08/24**

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

We were shrimpers before that. But those nicknames never caught on.

I used to think our tinpot nicknames didn't catch on because we were shite.

But who in their right mind at the respective clubs go all teary-eyed over 'black cats' or 'red devils'? Or Throstles?

Nicknames are shite. Liverpool doesn't have one. And the toffees suck.

We are The Albion. I was never taken by some nonsense made up in the Bosun to 'come back at' the Eagles (which was made up by Big Mal')

Well I have to respectfully say that I like our nickname. I was around 8 or 9 that's old when it caught on and I enjoyed singing it. As for Liverpool, I have heard and read a lot of them calling them 'the mighty red men'. Some sort of nickname perhaps but even more lame!

Fair enough. I was in my mid teens. I raised an eyebrow.

Great minds and all that, I refer to us as the Albion and find the rallying cry of "Seagulls, Seagulls" somewhat lame, in my youth i used to join in, however as I have got older I just do not partake in it anymore, i actually cringe.

At least better than eagles...

Seagulls come with a bit of humour and self-distance in it because they're the lowest form of life and everybody hates them.

Eagle on the other hand is something you if you're an 8-year-old trying to be cool, or part of an organisation that's "desperate to learn about Hitler".

I think you're confusing seagulls with Surrey County Cricket Club.

 

[Gabbiano]

I like that we're the seagulls, it's very appropriate to Brighton and easy to chant.

No difference to me that it's not some big intimidating predatory animal, better that there's a local link. They should change the badge so that the seagull has some chips in its mouth.

Better than the Cherries. I'm not cheering on a fruit (except from this weekend of course, as it's Pride).

I don't know, I've encountered a fair few seagulls I'd describe as big intimidating predatory animals

Cringe bah humbug
It's more often than not prompted by a Seagull flying past these days
Which can lighten the mood if we re playing poorly

2 seasons in a row we've sold our midfield

 

[Springal]

No sign of WBG in any of the training photos or videos from today ??

The problem isn't the selling it's the replacing.

Have you ever been dive bombed by multiple Seagulls in the street as they protect their young? It's terrifying.

 

[Beanstalk]

Quite...

Unless Milner becomes an injury free mainstay in the centre (unlikely) and providing Moder leaves as expected, then our most experienced Premier League midfielder will have under 30 PL appearances and is barely 20 (Baleba) with Jack Hinshelwood as our second most experienced PL centre-mid. Don't get me wrong, I am not being overly critical of the club here, each sale sits in its own individual context, but I worry that we have all seen our midfield weaken with the departures, and I think it's a huge gamble to run into a new Premier League season with next to no experience in probably the most critical part of the pitch.

Plenty of time left in the transfer window to get a proper replacement for Gross/Gilmour but those are some big shoes to fill.

 

[Silverhatch]

The problem isn't the selling it's the replacing.

We didn’t replace them last season. Chelsea’s world record Caicedo offer disrupted the plan. Trying to put that right now with the added complexity of PG’s return to Germany. Never simple.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

After the horrendous din the local f***ing overgrown rats in the sky seagulls made this morning at 4 oclock they can all just f*** right off.

the bastards also dropped a large piece of chalk on the flat roof above our bedroom and now roll the f***ing thing around the roof at all hours. I heard the next door neighbour muttering something about a shotgun!,

“ if”. Rather “ when”.

"protect their young" is quite charitable to the seagulls...

Theyre using the chalk to write messages to all the other birds. Like a primitive facebook party invite. It'll be like "The Birds" at your place soon!!

Napoli, nuova offerta per Gilmour: si può chiudere. E Manna lavora a un super colpo dal Benfica

Sono ore importanti, forse decisive per l`affare Gilmour in casa Napoli. Il direttore sportivo Manna sta preparando la seconda offerta da recapitare al Brighton.

www.calciomercato.com

“These are important hours, perhaps decisive for the Gilmour affair at Napoli. Sporting director Manna is preparing the second offer to be delivered to Brighton with a clear objective in mind: to close quickly. Without ifs and buts. Because the Scottish midfielder has become an absolute priority for Conte beyond the sales of Gaetano and Cajuste.

THE DETAILS OF THE PROPOSAL
Ten million euros are not enough for Gilmour, so Brighton responded to Napoli's first offer. Now the blue club will add two million in fixed base plus some bonuses. The structure of this second proposal should satisfy the English club, there is optimism in the blue management.”
