This to the power of infinity.
In normal times, I'd agree. Maybe more like £20 or £30m light to be honest, but with 1 year left on his deal, no option to extend and no intention to re-sign his market value will plummet every month he gets closer to an exit. Remember he can arrange to sign abroad any time from January on a free, so there's a risk that we only have 6 months to guarantee a fee.
I actually think this is a great deal all round, albeit one I'm still sad to see go through

He almost certainly does.
They both have their problems. Naylor is a boorish manchild who think he’s much more important than anybody else & Owen works for a company who appear to prioritise how many adverts you can cram on to a single website over if the website is actually useable.
In an ideal world they’d swap employers so I can justify paying for The Athletic & never have to even consider reading The Argus ever again.

Basically we are getting paid 1 million quid for every game he is not going to play for us next season. That is nuts. Anymore than 30 million would be incredible given he only has maximum 38 games left but as if he doesn’t miss a few of them.
Good luck to him.
Best player I have seen in an albion shirt.

I like your reasoning on the games to money front but would have to disagree with your opinion on "Best player".
When he had his mind right he was excellent but too many times , especially this season, he wasn't focused and was a passenger. The best players put that aside and perform at high levels all the time. IMO
A shame he's not going to a decent club.

I wasted the last of my free 20 views on the Argus site on something about a junction in Rottingdean,

He isn't going to be unearthing too many undercover club stories, he does however get all the press releases and opportunities to interview players and manager, is able to ask the club for comment etc. What he doesn't do is write daft opinion pieces like Naylor used to do, call fans delusional or go to the other end of the spectrum like all the Leeds reporters do, and feed delusions. I don't read it often but he seems a decent writer. If and when we drop out of the PL and the national press no longer give a shit about Brighton, it will be a choice of him or Naylor, if you want to read anything other than the club site or gossip on here.

Should have stayed at the Albion then. The Sussex Senior Cup is up for grabs and Spurs ain’t ever going to win that…

Does anyone know how to make a short clip video or gif from 4 seconds in in this video to 27 seconds?
I've got a friend who thinks that McTominay is better than Bissouma. I'd like to send him the clip of Bissouma flicking the ball over McTominays head and McT having to foul him to stop him.

This, is how I see it. Biss can be a joy to watch but he isn't always 'on it'. He's excellent at breaking up play but then so is Caciedo now. Biss doesn't impress in front of goal - Mwepu anyone? (And Moises is there too for that matter) I'll miss Yves but this isn't the loss many think. Don't forget the games we lost at crucial through suspension either. We're well covered in midfield with Moder and Alzate who, though different are much more consistent in many ways

All these people now talking about the squad strength despite losing Bissouma, presumably you aren't the people who were recently questioning what Dan Ashworth did for the club?
We are in a position to lose Bissouma without having to spend big money to get in a replacement because we built a squad over many windows. We're able to be competitive at this level because of the forward planning Ashworth and his team have been doing for years. Caicedo came in and looked sensational and that's what we need to keep on doing, getting them in young and cheapish so that when they're blooded into our team and outgrow us we can sell for a big fee with their replacement already at the club.
I'm excited for Alzate and, when he returns, Moder.

The most curious thing..
He might end up being the new Bridcutt. Excellent for us, but a shadow elsewhere.
Or he might flourish.

1. I imagine it will be Bentancur and Bissouma
2. Why do people in 2022 not understand its a squad game and plenty of minutes to go around
