The sooner we get to 40-45 points the sooner we can shelve the season and put our efforts in to Europa. Hopefully that’ll be by the time the knockouts start.
Of course, it stops someone leaving for free. What difference it makes in hard cash is literally anyones guess, which is what we're doing. Lol.
Look, if we get £100m for the guy we're all delighted. If we "only" get £40m don't be surprised.
I agree. Mitoma's the best player in the world if you only watch Match of the Day. He is a great player, magical feet. £40m would still be good money.
Edit - Totally agree with Caicedo comment too. I think it's just a case by case thing for the club. It became clear Caicedo's mgmt team are...
I just think if a player really wants to go it'll happen. We're not gonna Sancho the guy. As fans we only hear the basic facts. 5 years, release clauses etc. Take the Mac Allister situ as an example. Signed a new contract, proceeded to go on to win the WC but we sold him to Liverpool for what...
At 27 a buyer is longer buying potential. Agree with the other financial benefits / asian markets etc but I just can't see it being a whopper. Plus contracts kinda mean nothing these days if a player wants to go. Double plus he might need to put in a few good performances again soon. Who am I to...
I would be surprised if we sold Mitoma for anything more than £35m. 27 next season.
How much did we get for Trossard? I don’t think we could push much more than that, regardless of new contract. Any idea of release clauses?
I can understand both sides here.
Sure, you don't want to see players getting sent off for accidental trash, and yes, if BG is delaying the BLAH BLAH BLAH then rightly a yellow.
My arguement is the rules (and VAR) seem to pick and chose what they are going to pull up and when. And Brighton...
Oh, they've started penalising that again have they? Must have taken a few weeks break from bookings for that and just started again.
Watch next weekend as this same offence goes unpunished.
Like I say, the inconsistency is the trolling.
I think the officials are just trolling us. We can't do a thing about it. The whole pen/corner/drop ball at Stamford Bridge was one of the most embarrassing moments of officiating I've ever seen. Even going to the screen to double check was just insulting.
The punch today, I've kinda given up...
The decisions today from the Chelsea pen to the end of the game were insulting to Brighton and any reasonable fan.
How on earth was the official called to the monitor to look at that, when it quite clearly hit him on the head. And then give a drop ball.
Whole thing stinks.
I completely agree.
Taylor being a poor referee made that happen. Not defending Dunk bc it was stupid getting done for verbal but Taylor was in a tizz bc he knew he was about to give a very soft penalty. Thankfully we didn’t score from the counter otherwise it would have been a right mess. Var...
