Looking at their squad no guarantee they will get into Europe next season either. Imagine this is part of the discussion we are having with the player if you stay you get a season shining in Europe and will probably attract bigger and better clubs.
Not letting this go are we!!
‘Brighton have been clear in negotiations with Chelsea that selling them Levi Colwill, the 20-year-old centre back who spent last season on loan at the Amex, would make them more amenable to a deal’
If we had this squad last season I think we could have got top 4 but all teams of our size take a dip when playing the regular European games and with RDZ making noises about pushing in all competitions inevitably league position will suffer. That said it’s not something I am bothered about...
I think we have given chelsea the only two options we would consider
Colwill + Cash
£100m with a large chunk up front
As all good negotiators would do you make the option you want the more attractive to force the others hand. Chelsea don’t want to part with Colwill they have been clear on...
The attacking options are insane I cannot recall a time where we had so many of those players that get you off your seat when they are on the ball. We are going to give a lot of defenders sleepless nights next season.
The ‘unlike Chelsea’ bit that seems to have them all foaming at the mouth has RDZ actually said that as I remember his saying in his interview that we need to replace with someone as good but don’t remember him saying that? Is this jacobs and fab artistic license?
I think it takes Colwill to tell Chelsea very directly he is not interested in staying there or signing a new contract for him to have any chance of joining us.
Interesting the £80m upfront or £100m over 3 years has been tabled as lots of rumours over past week about Chelsea only being able to...
I don’t think we will be shopping for a replacement once this deal is done I think his replacements and cover are already here. Interesting to see the comments about Alzate impressing RDZ this morning.
Collar looks terrible and whole shirt just looks a bit dull and cheap. Generally away shirts have been a success of late but home kit Nike seem to struggle to do anything decent with each season. 5/10
