So they want a miserable player in their squad? Once we swoop, we inevitably get our man. The chance to join a top six team and play European football is too good to turn down for this lad. I think little Chelsea will fold eventually. Perhaps we throw in Sanchez to sweeten the deal next?

[Albion] £30m offer for Levi Colwill rejected
- Thread starter doogie004
- Start date
This. I reckon he's probably a £40-50m player - similar to Ben White.
It's a dilemma for a club like ours. Our club probably feels it owes the player the chance to play here, and that might extend to overpaying (by our standards). We all know we might find another great centre-back for a fraction of the cost, but it's no guarantee. Equally, can Chelsea really offer him regular first team football? If not, how many clubs are going to offer the right price and be a club he'd actually want to go to?
Why not?
lol30m rejected I say we go straight it with our next offer at 63m
It’s what a smart chairman would do.
All joking apart. Transfer request would help.
Harry Maguire's available...

It’s a good indicator Levi probably wants to stay.
30m when you consider it’s only £7m more than Webster you have to say it’s a pretty low opening bid, I’d be happy with 40/45 if we are going to get 70 or so for Mac.

We need a LCB not an over-priced slab head
For the benefit of any doubt, this was not a serious suggestion.

If true, interesting that we’ve made a bid first. Rather than wait for a bid on one of our players from their team. My guess. Chelsea won’t be in for Moises. Or we’re trying to buy before we complete on some big transfers out with pockets full of cash!

At least, I reckon, if true suggests we would have to pay over the odds, might take £50m, which might/would be too much.

Good to see us making our play this early in the window. If it’s a ‘no and he’s not for sale’ then we have to move on. We can then genuinely confirm that we tried for him and let Levi know this was the case.
Shame, but I’m sure we have other targets.

He’s Brighton through and through, it was always Brighton. It was his dream when he first drove past the Palace Pier
My thoughts. It’s a pretty derisory bid in all honesty , possibly trying to get the player to force a move? But feels early in the window for that
Phew!

I’m almost 100% certain that won’t be the case. To quote Tony “I’m very good at taking the emotion out of a decision.”

£25m plus Big Bob (if they want him)
Not sure how a player swap value would work on the FFP balance sheet (estimated value?)

Is the bid an indication that we think he is open to a move? Would be a bit pointless if we didn’t think he wanted to come here unless it’s just a bit of PR by the club to show ambition? That doesn’t sound like us, to me. The bidding always starts low unless you are Boehly of course.
