If you ever want a reminder of just how long Lewis Dunk has been playing for Brighton - Diego Arismendi got sent off and cried on the pitch in the same game Lewis Dunk made his debut for Brighton.
We had a loanee from Stoke. And Chris Holroyd.
In my third season and pulled this off in the Conference League group stage :laugh: currently very annoyed at Daniel Cabellos for saying he wants to leave, turning down five separate clubs who had offered him a 6 month loan + a 25-35m mandatory future fee and then moaning he wasn’t in the...
From the ‘Who are you most excited for next season thread’
I’m not going to get carried away after 45 minutes of pre-season but I might be a f*cking genius.
We could probably get players to sign for less money a week if we inserted buy-out clauses in to our contract.
Entirely kneecapping our position if/when we have to sell to skimp on money now will never seem like a good idea to me, especially with the way transfer fees are going constantly
If...
Take a look back at Xavi Simons at PSV. One of the most exciting young players in the world and they’re losing him for less than €10,000,000 because of a buyback clause.
It’s all well and good saying we’d be guaranteeing profit if he does well but the original club are only going to resign them...
I think we’ve the European games to juggle we’ll see a couple of youth players given a chance to shine. I love the thought of one of them grabbing that chance and bursting on to the scene; especially Hinshelwood and his Brighton connections.
I was going to say that lad in the youth team who we ended selling for (up to) £5m. Mateju?
Then I googled him and we signed him from Viktoria Plzen :lolol: Did sell him to an Italian club though which is obviously where I got confused.
I think he’d be a good signing, but I just hope we aren’t being used as a Puppet by his agent to get a new deal.
We’re Running out of time before the season starts. We need the recruitment team to pull out a New magic wand and get some signings done.
Whilst there’s obviously no way of knowing for sure, I can see the highest earner clause being true.
If every contract Dunk has signed since 2014 hadn’t been concurrent then he’d be contracted until 2046, which seems a tad excessive.
It’s quite remarkable how many people on the internet would quite simply kick the shit out of any JSO protestors they saw, yet there’s been what? 1 person who attacked them in real life.
They really do have an incredible sense of when there isn’t any of those women beating, tough as f*ck...
It’s been quite glorious to see some people pivot from “they’re interrupting normal peoples lives, they should be targeting the people who are actually at fault” to “oh no, how dare they throw confetti at George Osbourne”
We really are a country full of trembling quims.
