An alternative perspective: Maybe the Charity Shield at the start of each season should comprise of a North/South team all-stars. More inclusive for all fans and not just the fans of the league champions and FA Cup Winners. Hey, maybe All proceeds of the match could go to charities rather than...

Having listened to a podcast a couple of days ago, De Zerbi's tactics are like Antonio Conte's. Set up the defence with 8 men behind the ball, packing the midfield narrowly, and counter attacking. Bissouma is reportedly already unhappy at Spurs. Would De Zerbi's tactics go down well with our...

Rich Champions League clubs will always want to buy our best players. When that happens just rinse them for as much money as we can. Its part of our sustainability model to attract young talented players, sell and replace them, and keep the club in the Premier League.

Maybe Graham Potter thought he has taken Brighton as far as he can take them. He leaves us fourth in the Premier League with a run of tough fixtures after the International break. Coinciding with an offer from Chelsea too good to turn down. A new challenge testing himself in the Champions League...

Which club did GP support as a boy? Was it Villa, WBA, Wolves or Stoke?

I watched Clarke play at Crawley just after we signed him. Potter wanted to sign him for Swansea when Potter jouned us. At the time Clarke looked like a championship player and three years on that is what he still is. Very similar to Duffy really.

Weaker short term, stronger medium to long term

IF its true we were trying to buy Colwill for £20m to £25m without a buy back clause, then I would be surprised if he is only coming here as a back up.

Agree We need a left sided CB to replace Burn/Cucerella. Webster and Veltman are right sided CBs and both have not looked naturals on the left side. Not convinced Clarke or Van Hecke are ready for PL football.

Leicester trying to sell Forfanna for £70m+ after Forfanna is coming back after a serious injury. He was awful last season. Just look at his ststs. Cucerella had a fantastic season last year so who is the better player as things stand?

True. I missed out the mighty Leeds. There are currently 8 Premier League Clubs wholly or partly owned by Americans (Liverpool, Man Utd, Fulham, Chelsea, Palace, Arsenal, Villa and Leeds). Add the 2 oil state owned clubs (Newcastle and Man City) and these 10 owners just need another "5 PL...

A top 10 finish in PL will be tough. Teams like Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Man Utd, Newcastle, Chelsea (probably will be the top 10 moving forwards for most seasons) will always have bigger budgets than us. We are competing with the rest like...

Try c7 City a properly run business. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Lodsa money club that cheats F F P and thinks it has a right to dictate how football is run. Go and join a super Leage, cut your ties with the Premier Leage and win FA. ‘

Does anyone know the significance of a player putting in a transfer request? I may be wrong, but if a player puts in a transfer request, I think the selling club doesnt need to pay the player compensation for the move. Not sure what the compensation would be, but could it be the selling club...

City's negotiating tactics stink. Put in a rediculously low offer for a player. Ask the player to agitate for a move and hope the selling club will be bullied into a forced sale at a low price. Didnt work last year when Levy said it was £150m for Kane, or no deal. Won't work this year with...

Palace Patrick Viera knows I can score good goals late in the game when needed most.

Why then did we then try to sign Darwin Nunez over several transfer windows? Nothing wrong with the algorithm. Its all about trying to get better strikers agreeing to sign for non Champions League Brighton.

Warren will drive him there himself

Thats what the H stands for - Horrible

Since Brexit rule changes came into force in 2021 its now difficult for top clubs in England to sign up worldwide young talent. They are therefore taking best 18 years olds from other accademies and no doubt offering them good signing on fees and a lot more in wages. By the time they are 20...
