The rumours are that palace got Olise for a steal at 8 m, but his agent put the 35 m release clause in as part of the deal, its paid off for Olise and his agent as they get to go to a bigger club which = big wages and big payout for the agent.
The gamble here is that Olise tore his hamstring...
I wasn’t having a go at BHA FC, it was meant to be a jokey dig at one one the posters, who kept on about how much money the club has….like someone waving £50 notes in a poor persons face.
I think the whole football world look agog at the players and prices Brighton are getting and wonder how...
You are a right charmer.
I have a season ticket for 90 mins of football every other week, cricket as you might or might not know lasts a full day, I try to watch as much as my marriage allows, my boy watches football with me which makes it a family thing unfortunately he doesn’t like cricket...
TBF some of us have been watching Cricket and not thinking about football, I didn’t bother to go to Hove today as Sussex have been awful in the 50 over games and got another beating today.
Still 4th in the championship though… what is it 1 win and 9 draws, but games in hand should see us 2 nd...
You really have gone full on Chelsea supporter with all your money…
“ it’s come to my attention that I am considerably richer than you” as Harry Enfield once said.
It’s 2 seasons for Christ sake you have been places above palace , not divisions.
The thread title is “Palace fans greatest fear”…..I have no fear of our back 4 and are happy with the midfield, goal scores not so much.
It’s funny that Brighton fans seem to be worried for us 🤷
Not at all, Guehi and Anderson both full internationals, Guehi only 23 will be a top top defender one day.
Tyrick Mitchell only 23 , capped by England, and Mr dependable Ward.
The back 4 are as good as it gets outside the top 6 IMO
I personally think the first 11 is fine.
Keeper…as good as we can expect ( England caps )
Defence, would not swap the central pair with any other team TBH, Mitchell and Ward both dependable.
Midfield, is strong, Lerma looks a great bit of business, and Doucoure is class, Ayew is one of those...
Yes you can, I have just spent a day at hove watching Sussex get a lesson on how to play 50 over cricket, but I love watching Sussex play at home.
I have a few gigs coming up in Brighton and love the towns music scene ( although not as good as it was)
It’s a vibrant city by the sea…well most...
TBF the press gave Palace that tag not the club. I think it was the Vanables factor.
As you know full well Palace have never been bankrupt, they continued as a club with an administer running the club until it was sold. Not a good look I grant you but not in the fans hands so not much we could...
There is a lot of silliness on this thread at the moment, I mean you ended the season 5 places above Palace, yet reading this you would have thought it would be 50 places.
A lot of you are setting yourselves up for a fall.
Hmmm not so sure it works like that, you can only play and win,lose or draw with what’s around at the time.
It’s like saying Goerge Best would be bang average if he played these days because of his fitness.
At all times in what ever season , you finish where you deserve to finish.
