Albion knock back Newcastle bid for winger

[smudge]

CH didn't mention anything about strengthening the squad, merely holding what we have, or trying to.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

The day we sell a star player to a divisional rival is the day we give up on promotion and admit the limits to our ambition.

 

[Surf's Up]

Money talks and the problem is that Newcastle are splashing the cash like its going out of fashion. I wouldn't put it past them to come up with £10m and we'd find that very difficult to turn down.

Turn down 10m to have a good chance at a 200milion season the next year. I'd say it worth the gamble of refusing, you can almost sell him for the same price in a years time.

As they've so much money then £15 million won't be a problem will it, if they're so desperate for him.

Top right. We sell and we can kiss by to promotion this season and all that £10 million will probably cover is some of Tony Blooms loses this season then he'll have to find it again and again but keeping him and Dunk etc then we'll have a good chance of wining the golden ticket.

I agree, but the trouble is, if they were prepared to offer that kind of money, then the deal he'd be on up there would be lifechanging for him. In an ideal world we could bat it back and hold him to his contract, but we all know how these things usually play out. If he wants out, it'll only be a matter of time.

Sorry the French but **** him, how about the club and us fans.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Hughton on SSN now.

'We want to go again this season'

'Comes with the territory'

'We want them here'

'We want to challenge again'

'We will try our very very best to keep our best players'

Years of practice giving those lines out whilst at Spurs.

What about us ? He doesn't owe us anything. He'd never even HEARD of Brighton and Hove Albion until 6 months ago.

He's a professional footballer looking to maximise his earnings for him and his family during a short career. If you had an opportunity of going somewhere else, where you could more than double your money and more, then you'd do it. So would I. So would anyone. Fact of life chap.

He played against us for Leicester at the Amex. I don't care for players or feel sorry as they aren't earning 50k a week even though fans earn an average 25k a year. They signed contracts so honour them and they'll only be sold when we decide. If they don't like it tuff shite then play them in the under 21s.

This is the sad reality, enhanced by unscrupulous football agents who are only concerned about maximising their clients (and therefore their own) income.

.

Considering he´s played against us, more than once, for Leicester.

He must be pretty stupid?

would you turn down the chance to double treble your annual wage and secure your future for the rest of your life out of loyalty to a company you had worked for at for 6 months?

I´d rather be loved than be rich.

I am sure 50k of toon will love him. I hope he stays but would completely understand him wanting to go. The best out come here is he uses it to get a new improved contract with us.

This.

Or Tony can continue to lose money until he's had enough and chucks it in.

Yes but that's not the point is it. He signed for 3 and half years so any potential move is evelvent unless the club decides to sell and on the selling clubs terms. Can't have players coming and going on their terms as it'll make a mockery of contracts.

Contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on I am afraid. If a player want to move he will get a move. It works both ways too clubs can sell players against their will.

The way this thread is going you'd think Knocky has already refused to play again and wants out immmediately.
