I guess our maximum just depends on how much we really want him...

A 'more interesting proposal' could simply be us offering him better wages than we are currently....

Looks like the guy who broke the Mwepu transfer has another scoop: 1412931212948221953 Personally, I'm sceptical, as it seemed like he's a Salzburg insider, so I'm not sure why he'd have info about a Porto to Brighton transfer. But I'll humour it, given he was right last time and...well, you...

Max Sanders left the club permanently in January.

I would just point out that he scored 7 goals on his first full season in the prem when he was on loan at plucky. 4 more than knockaert ever managed in the prem.

:eek: 1412729873840365570 I'd imagine the fallout from all this could be quite tumultuous....

Yeah, a four year deal. So still quite long. Which is a good protection of our investment. Which is what my point was. Had we paid more for him, the contract probably would've been longer to spread out the cost.

The second reason being the main one...

Let this be a lesson to all those who dismiss every random twitter rumour without a moment's thought. You never, EVER know...

Same original source now saying it's done too 1412047336704991234 No idea why he's put the Leeds hashtag. Maybe we need to ask them first before we sign him?

But surely we have to be protecting these investments? None of the three players you've listed above had 20+ million fees forked out for them. No point in paying that only to lose them in three years for nothing.

Huh? Five year contracts are par the course for players these days. Signing someone but saying ''we're only giving you a three year deal in case you're shit'' is hardly a vote of confidence is it? And what if they're good? Surely then they wouldn't extend as they know they'd get a better move...

:shrug:

On the face of it, it seems exactly the sort of signing we shouldn't be making. Has been a good player at United but very very little end product, and some horrendous misses. But under potter at Swansea, he was one of the most exciting young players in the championship, and we could certainly...

Well I assume now that Crofts has taken over Rusk's role as u23 head coach, someone can perhaps take his place. And if we don't, I'm still not complaining :albion2:

1410991657999347714 Nice little surprise, that. Served us very well.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm pretty sure we've been linked with Tavernier every single window for the last four years

It's a careful balancing act. We need to wait long enough to get the money in the bank from the sales, so that we can afford better quality players, but not so long that all of our targets end up going elsewhere and we're left scraping the barrel again. I'd be very surprised if when the club...
