I am a bit worried as the window is about to close that last minute bid might happen. He is destined for the top so I was hoping we could get one more season out of him. A figure of 40 million is being banded about but surely he is worth more than White. Unbelievably good player.

I agree. I hope Brighton will annouce his new contract soon

We take months trying to land our top targets, I would be surprised if there is enough time to sort Bissouma to United, Liverpool or Arsenal in 5 days with a weekend and a Bank Holiday in it. They will be paying exactly what TB wants without much negotiation if this is going to happen.
I had pretty well accepted that we’d be keeping him until at least January, so would be pretty gutting to lose him now
Hope it’s paper bollocks, I’m sure TB telling anyone it’s 40 million is made up bollocks though.

Hahahaha are you me?
My (used to be game going) plastic United fan boss didn't even know who Bissouma was last season when I was talking him up.
To help him I likened Biss to Yaya, all was good.
Yesterday was our first chance to chat since Burnley.
It didn't take long for Biss to crop up, I'm saying Top 4 or nothing, cos he loves the boss, club and fans.
Boss replies 'yeah that comes across on his Twitter and Instagram'

Not looking likely at all now.
Less than 1/2 to stay a fortnight ago, now tightened right in to 1/8.

Far, far too late in the window for this to happen.
The bid would now have to be £80 million plus and rising significantly by the day.
Teams have had weeks to sign him, you don't negotiate with Tony for a key player hours before the deadline.

I don’t believe any ‘paper talk’, wherein it’s stated that we’ve placed a specific asking price on a player. That’s just not the way we operate!

We’re playing Merseyside club with the window open. No surprise that some of our best players are being linked to the two teams from there. What a bunch of muppets the press are. We’ll be waking up with ‘Lamptey To Everton’ tomorrow I imagine.
Why does any of that surprise you?
We ain't a top 4 club.
Top 4 clubs don't have to buy green tomatoes - we do.
Dropping £80m on an afterthought red tomato as the window closes, is meaningless to them.
The Albion are overstocked with green tomatoes for exactly that reason.

Recent good performances and how late in the transfer window it is would mean his asking price has gone from around £40/50m upto more like £70m+ and nobody will want to pay that for a player from little old Brighton. Can’t see it happening. Maybe City or United would but they already spent a lot.

Liverpool can have him if they give us Salah and £50m cash as part of the deal!

How the shag can we sell another striker now ?
We are struggling to bring in 1 striker as it is. No chance we can sign 2 in 5 days.

The key factor is that Bissouma only has two years left on his contract. Once this transfer window closes his value to Brighton starts to plummet unless he signs a new contract.
Hopefully we can swerve this window and sign him long term on a new contract.
If not, next summer with only a year on his contract the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal will be hovering with bids of £30m for what is currently at least a £50m player.
Stick or twist?

I am not stressing over this.
If we sell Maupay now, we either have two strikers lined up or we haven't got a pot to piss in. I don't think either is likely.
Bissouma to Liverpool is not impossible, but on balance I also don't think this will happen. You need;
1 The player to be itching for a move.
2 The club to be happy with the offer.
3 The player to believe he is a big part of the plans of the buying manager.
Right now 1 doesn't look likely, (next season may well be different)
2 & 3 Liverpool appear to be looking to fill a gap in their squad. Are they going to make an offer we can't refuse? will Bissouma be a big part of their plans this season?
If Liverpool really want him, they have a lot of work to do on all three fronts in a short space of time.

They won’t pay £70m.
His ever growing reputation leaves the usual petro-dollar/sports-washing suspects as the only clubs in the world that can afford him.
