    [Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

    I think one of the biggest issues here is the opp to harm a relegation rival. We have the ability to take their ever present CB, young player of the season and then force them to find and bed in a suitable replacement, at no cost to us at all. Delicious.

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    Third thing. He's no longer on loan at Leeds so needs to change that!!

    [Albion] Jose Izquierdo - released by the Albion

    Would LOVE to see Izzy back in the squad. Will never forget the goal at Stoke.

    [Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

    Totally agree about the win/win - this is why Tony spent so much on the development programme. Here's the rub. Three of their five top players (games played) were loans: Ben White (Brighton), Jack Harrison (Man City) & Hélder Costa (Wolves). They've paid £16m (TalkSport) for Costa & offered...

    [Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

    I innocently tweeted today about the risks of teams that go up and have to replace loan players before they can start to add to their squad strength (eg Huddersfield). I noted that paying 20 or 30m for Ben White would put a dent in their player budget and get them effectively no further forward...

    [Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

    That cuts both ways and clubs (incuding ours) have no hesitation releasing a player if they deem them surplus to requirements. There is no loyalty in football apart from by the fans to the club itself. Sadly, that's the way it is. And have a look on here for dozens of threads where us fans are...

    [Football] Liam Bridcutt

    Maybe 10 years ago (so I was in my mid-40s) was queuing to cross the road outside Lords and stood next to Viv Richards. Took the chance to tell him that I'd loved watching his career and felt privileged to have seen it. He looked at me and just said "grow up". I was with my son. Embarrassed and...

    [Football] Your Predictions, Let’s be ‘aving you!

    I thought the general consensus on NSC was that buying players from the Championship was never a good plan. :rolleyes:

    [Football] Ben White - Sings new FOUR year deal.

    Seems odd that the amounts have been released and the "fact" that he has rejected two contract extension offers from the Albion. Feels like agent efforts to flag that he's on the market and that he is keen to move away from BHA. Can't see Bloom etc being very impressed with that.

    Man City Liverpool Man Utd ————- Brighton (14th) ——————————— Newcastle Fulham West Brom Of course squads can change, but I can't see Fulham or West Brom having enough. You need to be smart in the Prem and they aren't ready. I'd love to see Villa and Leeds go down, but Villa will spend more and...

    [Albion] Lewis Dunk to Chelsea? EDIT: New 5 Year Deal Signed

    Lawrenson was a Rolls Royce. Steve foster was important to us but not in the same class. Dunk is better than Fozzie.

    [Albion] Alfonso Pedraza

    Been out on loan a lot. Obviously I don't know much about him, but based on that article he doesn't look like he's the answer at left back.

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    He's enjoying the attention. Must a desparately lonely individual to crave the attention of people he will never meet. Best bet - ignore him.

    [Drinking] Alcoholic/like a beer or two too much?

    Totally agree with Bry Nylon - I stopped Jan 1 2019 and haven't drunk since (used The Alcohol Experiment, much discussed on NSC, to help me stop outright). I haven't given up alcohol - and when mates say "are you teetotal?" I say "No. But I haven't had a drink today. I could do tomorrow if I...

    [Albion] Deluded Leeds (an EFL club) fans

    This guy is a 'look at me' troll. Surely we've been tolerant enough? He was welcomed very warmly but has shown himself to be a pretty dull guest. He's just probing for a reaction again and again (and getting bites).
