I believe Buckley is one of the best players we have had at Brighton EVER. I don`t care how much we are offered, I don`t want him to go. He is the most entertaining player in our team and he would be extremely hard to replace. With Noone gone I would be gutted if Buckley left as it`s only him and Lualua that really excite the crowd, unless you want to wait six months for three minutes of wizardry from Vicente. Can we afford to lose the best finisher at the club?

True. We'd lose a rarity in our squad. A match winner/creator, with real pace, and a nightmare for opposition defenders.

As someone already mentioned Noone 1.6M, Ince 6M but it's essentially 4 because of the 35%..... for comparison (as other clubs would offer 5 not 6 maybe call him a 5M value).

Buckley is in between the two (remember injury prone) so 3.5 is about smack on the money and would be a good profit on 1M paid. My worry is Watford meant to have a good cut of any PROFIT so if was 35% we'd get what 2.6M

Much like Bennett we'd much rather keep him but if he'd only get pissed off and deteriorate because we reject the offer, our hand might be forced

You would have to ask [MENTION=22906]GingerBeerMan[/MENTION] that one.

I was just saying we won't get £7m for Bridders.

I have it on VERY good authority that Buckley is indeed going....into the Market Place Shopping Centre in Burgess Hill, or he was about 5 minutes ago at least

They can, but they won't. Once a players head is turned they can't wait to get away. Sadly. As long as the fee is acceptable to the club, they are yesterdays memories. :(

If a player gets a good offer to go to a Premier League club, you can hardly blame them. Hopefully if there's anything in this then Buckley can be persuaded to stay until the end of the season at least and leave then assuming we haven't sneaked into the top flight somehow (by which time Saints may have been relegated anyway).

If Gus offload's Buckley, I'll lose even more confidence in him; and I haven't got a lot at the moment. It really is time that we stopped acting as a small time Championship club, and sought to keep our best players. How the hell else are we going to get to the promised land? Surely with the highest average attendances in the Championship we can afford to show a tad more ambition on the transfer front?
