[Albion] Reiss Nelson

[Worthing exile]

Depends, Arsenal may not have been able to agree a valuation for Reiss so why hold up the White deal. If we had been insistent on Reiss then we might not have got £50m plus add ons for White. Also the White deal involves Newport and Peterborough.

We'll probably get him cheaper if they think we'll walk away and look elsewhere.

Why??

Why??

Not so much 'involves' but they get a small cut of the fee due to the loan spells (see the Ben White thread for details)

Palace now interested:

Apparently spotted in an Art Gallery in Brighton today. Found via his Instagram stories, one under the radar?

Maybe. Would be slightly surprising as not especially a priority position but skilful player, right age, and if he’s available……..

Not the Grand?

Pity

Naylor said no earlier in the summer, but things change, so maybe

Is he the fella that was following us on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram for no apparent reason earlier in the close season?

If he was, I believe this might be a goer.
It often happens with our incomings that there is early rumours, then nothing for an age, and, then the rumoured player sings.

This maybe one of them.

Tau out Nelson in?

He liked an Instagram photo which was a rumour about him moving to us. It does seem a weird coincidence.

The photo was from 5 hours ago and he would have surely been at training today. You’re looking at a 90 minute journey from their training ground. Seems a weird journey to make, especially as you’d assume they would have a day off after their game.

The most unlikely part of this rumour is that a footballer would spend a day off in an art gallery…

So true! [emoji1787]

 

[stewart_weir]

Arsenal def not doing us any favours as we sold them a dud

 

[um bongo molongo]

Rumours seem to be Palace on loan. Would be understandable if he then fancied a day in Brighton vs Croydon

He spent a year in Germany and obviously learnt some good habits, all British players should do the same. In fact, wasn’t Connolly linked with a German side a while ago, maybe that’s the answer?!

Would be very happy if there was something in this.

The first rumour to be backed up with some context

There certainly does seem to be a bit of a new, more thoughtful generation of footballers (Saka a good example). Sadly, I’m not sure Connolly is part of that!

 

[Frankworthington]

According to elsewhere on the internet,Arsenal rumored to be negotiating new contract with him before sending out on loan

Also currently on £50 grand a week allegedly!!

 

[Mike Small]

No thank you. Would much rather Mac, Moder, Alzate or Mwempo got more time. We don't need a player nowhere near the Arsenal team.

I very much doubt his salary is that . He’s no where near the first team . £30k max is my guess .
