[Albion] Bissouma, will he stay or will he go?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Bissouma always just seemed to me like a big daft unfocused boy with a little bit of sell-on potential and not a lot more. Happy to be proved wrong (first time for everything eh? )

Bit too obvious this time around. Try again.

Will be pleasantly surprised if he is here come September. Hopefully he won’t be at Arsenal though as he can do better than that and he sent won’t be leaving for £30 mill as the Twitter rumours suggest.

Maybe try watching what you're seeing?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I think he will stay.

His shot yesterday was a prime example of why he isn't the finished article yet.
As such he will currently be worth more to us than he will be to other clubs.

I think the clubs likely to be in for him, will think he's a £30m player, whereas we will think his value is much higher.

One more season with us and carry on developing the way he has been and he will be off for £50m to one of Europe's larger clubs.
The club will need to get him to sign an extended contract with some sensible release clauses though.

Not sure the second sentence was there when I read it? Maybe it was and I was riding my bicycle.

 

[Recidivist]

Hope he doesn’t. He’s got everything apart from an eye for goal. Wins an amazing number of 50/50 tackles and rarely loses the ball.

Terrific player and probably the most difficult to replace. Wouldn’t want to stand in his way if an offer from a top club comes but I hope we hold out for enough to get a top striker....

I'd be highly surprised if any of that were the case. Especially the bicycle thing

 

[The Wizard]

The moment potter said ‘enjoy him while we have him’ I knew he was off this summer, we’ll miss him but he’ll demand a big fee and it would be nice to see him to somewhere to fulfil his potential.

 

[blue-shifted]

A number of players are going to be in demand over the summer. It is now down to Bloom to show the ambition to keep them.

Now - the players themselves may want to leave, particularly if it is a big club or a major hike in salary. There is nothing can be done about the first - and the second is again down to Bloom and whether he will change the wage structure like he did for Lallana.

If players do leave then finding replacements will be the most difficult part - not counting that the club will need to spend £60/70million just to stand still in the PL. So - if Bissouma, White and maybe Lamptey leave, then the club need to be looking to spend up to £150million on replacements and strengthening the squad. iI that doesn't happen then next season could be a struggle.

Our young players are improving all the time. I don't see it like that

Are you a moderator [MENTION=14113]Tom Hark Preston Park[/MENTION] ?

Seems this was edited but it doesn't show as editted. Sets a slightly unlikeable precedent if so. Especially given what a wind up merchant you are.

 

[origigull]

With all this talk of BHA players going to bigger clubs, lets hope in the not too distant future we are classed as a bigger club and players will want to come to us and stay.. Of course that means finishing much higher up the table (top 6-8) and competing in Europe regularly and higher wages paid. We can all hope and dream.

 

[Machi]

Hope he will stay! Keeping him and Ben White for another season would be the best "transfers" Brighton could make

 

[A1X]

He’ll go if we get the right money, not sure if we don’t. I’m actually not overly worried as I think Moder is a ready made replacement.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Reckon he’s off. It’s the model we’ve been building towards and we both need to lose less money and get a striker in.

Don’t think we’ll sell him to the Star though.

Whoops...... reckon that Arsenal reckon they can get him for £30m.

 

[jcdenton08]

He is far too good to play for us next season. It's been a delight having him, he'll go on good terms and with a good financial and professional deal for him, good compensation for us and an excellent acquisition for a top club.

 

[maltaseagull]

Arsenal also quoted at £30 million.

I think Tony would say no way to that valuation.

We didn’t let a CB who had never played in the PL go for that, no chance he is going for 30 million...unless he downs tools

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

Best player we’ve ever had imho

One hell of a good signing by Hughton

 

[portslade seagull]

He will go but not for the 30m the Arse are advising. Think it will be somewhere in the 40-45m bracket
