It's a really well-pitched farewell letter, that. But I imagine Potter will be thinking "was it something I said?" when he reaches this bit!

Let’s agree now that it’s DahoudSo who do we vote as player of the season next year
It did come across like that.
Fantastic player who left some very good memories. Great fee for a 33 year old.
All the best Pascal
His first interview rather contradicts the letter as how difficult the decision was

Not really.
He does say "relatively" easy decision.

He has had some PR training. Tell your new club that it was an easy decision, tell your old club what a hard decision it was. Basically all bullshit
Anyway, he was great for us and that is really all that matters. Thanks and good luck. Can we move on now? No more tears or teeth gnashing

I don't think that's been announced, has it? But it's safe to assume that we drove a hard bargain, given that this has rumbled on for a while. We obviously didn't accept whatever their first offer was. So I'm guessing it'll be at the top end of the mooted numbers. I think I saw €9 million said somewhere, which would represent a great return on what the club paid given that we've had the best years of his career.

I could separate the two. It could be a difficult decision about leaving (and going back home) Brighton and the PL, but easy to decide on Dortmund (weren't there a few clubs sniffing around?) when they registered their interest.
I refuse to believe anything other than Pascal is a thoroughly upstanding individual, who treats everyone with respect (apart from Manchester United, who he regularly tore a new one!).
Indeed this. The initial rumour was about Eintracht Frankfurt, a decent club but perhaps not worth the hassle and lower wage. Dortmund... different ballpark.
This. Suspect he would have stayed rather than transfer to any other club. No way he could turn this down.
Yeah, shades of BDB going to Newcastle - there's going to be an emotional pull. Who could blame him? I certainly don't. I'm just thankful for the seven years we got from him
I think may see about a trip to Dortmund next year, it would be great to see him live once more

Football is a short career and Pascal spent 7 years of it here. If he wants to go, no one can really argue especially when it's somewhere he really wants to play coming calling at the twilight of his career.
To say is miss him is the understatement of the century. It is like saying I'd miss Beer and Crisps if they suddenly didn't exist
I just hope I see him playing live again at some point to give him my appreciation.

Well that's screwed my man of the match nominations.
