36/40. The Caicedo fee question asked what fee was payed under Potter. Any sell on would have been later, so their answer was wrong.

But the question was "who was Graham Potter's record signing as the Brighton boss?"
When he left we'd only paid £4m as we hadn't sold him yet

35 - got a bit bored so rushed it a bit
I thought the original nickname was the Shrimps - the Dolphins was only used for a couple of years

Has anybody ever heard of 'El Gatwicko?'

But the question was during Graham Potter‘s time - he hadn’t been sold during that tenure so technically you could argue the sell-on doesn’t count
35/40. Poor. Very poor. Very poor indeed.

I got 36 - should really have been 38 as I pressed the wrong button for back to back promotions, the Caicedo answer was wrong in the quiz, as for El Gatwicko - that’s just a load of bollocks.

The question asks specifically who was most expensive when Graham Potter was at the club. Potter left in September 2022 and Caicedo left almost a year later in August 2023.
Even if Chelsea paid all the 115m upfront which I doubt, his sell on payments would've occurred long after Potter left and they wouldn't equal 25m with orginal purchase.
I actually think the author has simply got their sums wrong and its referring to initial transfer.
Anyway all much to do about nothing!

Question 8 - The one relating to the name given to our rivalry with Crystal Palace. I have never heard anyone call it any of those answers. Someone at Four Four Two has just made that up...
And ultimately, when Independiente's sell on is factored in, he might have cost that.
But it still wouldn't be the correct answer the specific question posed:
"Who was Brighton's record signing under Graham Potter?" We signed Caicedo 'under GP' for £4-8m. We signed Webster 'under GP' for £20m.
No idea - just reporting what Transfermarkt says.
El Gatwicko my Haagen Darce. If Anything it is ‘known’ as the A23 derby, but even that is a stretch. It’s us v them…

It seems the quiz setter has either asked a trick question, or just looked it up on something like Transfermarkt. They record the fee as the total including sell on fees. We did end up paying about £25m, after selling him to Chelsea for such a huge profit, but the initial fee was £4.5m: https://www.skysports.com/football/...on-sign-ecuador-international-on-deadline-day

The question setter probably churns out about 20 of these a day for clubs he has no idea about. It's definitely a wrong answer taken from Transfermarkt without the full context.
