Guess it depends whether they did it before signing Colwill or not.Apparently, despite their obvious shortcomings, the new Chelsea owners have sensibly limited weekly salaries, to new players, to around £70k.
So we are now in a position to compete with them on that front.
I was listening to a Chelsea fan podcast last week when they were going through the squad ( it was quite a long podcast!). They basically have a lot of defenders and need to get rid of a few. The feeling was that Colwill had never delivered for Chelsea since returning from Brighton. One said angrily, "We could have got £40 million from Brighton last year but now we'd happily take £25m". Yes it was fan talk but they’re pretty knowledgeable blokes so I found the sentiment interesting.Yeah I think he knows Tony loves him... its the perfect Brighton player.
Right now they would look too silly if they sold him, but reality will hit them like a truck eventually.
As for the money, it would certainly be a new record signing.
Van Hecke is super-omega-gone in a year if he keeps playing like against Manchester United. We're progressing nicely but not nicely enough to hold on to world class players for any prolonged time. Imo Van Hecke is becoming way too good not to play in a top, top team soon. Sadly..
Player looks world class playing for Brighton - goes to Chelsea, doesn't play as well..........I was listening to a Chelsea fan podcast last week when they were going through the squad ( it was quite a long podcast!).

True though sadly Cucurella seems to have turned a corner.Player looks world class playing for Brighton - goes to Chelsea, doesn't play as well..........
Bit of a pattern isn't it!

They wouldn’t get out of bed for that.

Vrrm, vrrm...Lots of noise a few Italian clubs have been interested in Igor.
Looks like this isn't happening. I'd be very surprised if other teams don't come in for him in January on a Bosman if he doesn't sign a contract, especially bigger teams.
I can't see us being the only one in for him if he goes for free. Left footed centre backs these days are really hard to come by, I think we've lost out on him and now we move on to the next target.seems that way. wonder if we move onto someone else now? would have to make it quick. or maybe if we can’t get our man now then TB will be happy to wait until jan or next summer?
Something in JPVH's character makes me think he's the kind of player that will stick around and not jump at the first opportunity.Van Hecke is super-omega-gone in a year if he keeps playing like against Manchester United.

They could get Igor buy or loan!This one isn't happening I think. Boscagli is not happy about it but it seems we've dragged this on too long for PSV's liking and they don't have many defenders.
'PSV is klaar met Brighton en neemt grote beslissing over Boscagli'
PSV heeft Brighton & Hove Albion laten weten niet meer te willen onderhandelen over Olivier Boscagli. De Engelsen hopen de verdediger voor het sluiten van de transfermarkt binnen te hengelen, maar hoeven niet meer op medewerking uit Eindhoven te rekenen.www.voetbalprimeur.nl
Webster and Igor seem perfectly adequate back ups. With the arrival of Kadioglu and Blly staying, we can also reposition Veltman and Weifer too if necessary.
