Guys, can we stop trying to bin Caicedo off. Especially to Chelsea. And extra especially in a f***ing player swap.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but apparently Leeds had more managers since the world cup than league wins. If true what an incredibly damning statistic.

Don't tell Todd Boehly that.

Yes! It's one of the things I look out for now, the Mitoma mistimed/spatially unaware leap in the general direction of his team mates when we've scored a key/big goal. That and Veltman celebrating like a 6 year old scoring in his garden and thinking it's the world cup winner.

I wouldn't have thought so. I'd guess that a deal will be reached at a significantly lower figure. It's just Chelsea setting their stall out early saying that yes there will be sales but they're not going to be bargain sales, IMO.

Apparently (according to Fabrizio that is) Chelsea want 80m for Mount. He has one year left on his contract. In light of that it's no surprise that 30m for Colwill was turned down. I'm glad we made the bid, I wouldn't be averse to a second one being made in a 'are you sure he's not for sale'...

Sadly I can't take full(any) credit. I took 'inspiration' from a certain J. Gregory talking about Gareth Barry. https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/6800877.knight-fury-at-gregory/

Way less doesn't sound great.

I think it's really unfair of Chelsea. They wouldn't even recognise Levi Colwill if he stood in the middle of the Kings road in a chelsea shirt with a ball tucked under his arm and a pensioner on his head. We are being asked to pick up the bill for a football club so badly run it nearly went...

Thisd song is nearly 30 years old. It was a b-side. Sung by Liam. And it still sounds this good, this many years later, sung by Noel. I don't care what anyone says, for a few brief years Oasis were untouchable.

100% this will happen. As will the posts and threads saying 'see, I told you he was over rated/not very good'. It's a weird way to think as a Brighton fan but it'll happen.

I have it on good authority that the VAR 'cock ups' were in direct response to the shitness of our kit. There was no way that the Premier League were going to let that abomination anywhere near the champions league places...

That's a really interesting read. Also highlights some of the off field benefits we're going to lose when Ally Mac leaves, even if Gilmour is able to step into his on field shoes.

Bellingham might be my favourite England player since Gascoigne. He's like an English Zidane and if he keeps developing he must have a very good chance of becoming the first English ballon d'or winner since Owen.

Yeah, it's only focusing on the basic expenditure on players and wages in relation to points earned. Although the wages are from last year and the points earned are from this year... I found it interesting just seeing the comparative budgets and how much each club had spent to end up where...

I thought this was mildly interesting: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/the-numbers-behind-chelseas-enormous-financial-failure-g2rrl9t9p

This. If Rice goes to Bayern then I think it very likely that Caicedo goes to Arsenal.

I think it's a given that there will be periods where it goes a bit pear shaped. Every club in the country goes through those periods. For the biggest of beasts it results in scrambling around in mid table for a year or two. For clubs like us those pear shaped periods will result in us...

I agree, he's absolutely worth it but he'll be absolutely worth it in a years time too. Rice is going to go for somewhere around 100m. Caicedo is, I think we'll probably both agree, a better player. What he lacks in 'English tax' he makes up for in being 3 years younger and a better player...

My thinking is along the lines of: Man city. They already have Rodri as a cdm. Are they going to spend 100m on another one? Especially one that doesn't have the ability on the ball that Rodri has. We know that they don't overspend anymore, they have a value for each player and won't go...
