Given that:
a) Chelsea didn’t want to sell him
b) We couldn’t loan him due to already having Colwill
c) We were to my knowledge the only club to register a serious interest in him this summer
Then yes the onus would’ve been on him to force a permanent transfer through to join us.

I very much doubt he’d have been ‘desperate’ to come here, Icy. Keen on securing first team football would be probably more accurate, which we were apparently the only ones offering.

Chelsea wanted to loan him - so he could have had first team football - at several clubs. However he refused loan option to force through Albion move. No idea if that makes him “desperate” - the Athletic article doesn’t say.

A) and b) - yes. C) I think Chelsea’s preference was a loan but it didn’t happen so I guess we will never know. Not convinced Brighton were only team tracking the player.

Nice little article about our Billy on F365 (apologies if already shared elsewhere!)

I particularly enjoyed the writer describing Tuchel as a haunted bag of Twiglets!

Doubt that very much.......tend to think our progression, set up, style of football, Potter and contact with Tariq and Levi were more deciding factors.
Best deadline day deal according to The Sun!

Also this quote about Potter: 'In easily one of the best and sensible moves of the transfer window, Graham Potter and his splendid sea captain’s beard'.

Nice, informative and pretty funny.

I'm a fan but seemed quite passive and slow today in his brief cameo debut. Very quickly needs to adjust if he wants game time. Has to understand how much he needs to run in transition in this brilliant team.
Was hoping for more but a year at Norwich has clearly affected his confidence and aggression in play. Work to do.

He was on the pitch for 3 mins, it’s almost impossible to draw anything about him in that time especially considering we were in cruise control by then.

...and yet I have. So will the coaching staff and analysts.

Not sure how you can review a player’s performance when you couldn’t even have boiled an egg in the time they were on the pitch.
Played about 4 minutes in a dead game, touched the ball once.
Need to send him to Gulag along with March, Pervis and Undav.
No, they won't.

Also he made a decent overhead clearance and a tackle in the time he was on the pitch. What a ridiculous post
