[Albion] Dan Burn to Saudi FC
- Thread starter brighton terra
- Start date
Give Tony a ring and tell him he cocked up.
Whisper it quietly, but I think in this instance he might have.
If it was £13M, plus £5M if they stay up, and another couple of million when he's played X number of games for them that would be different, but I haven't seen a whisper of anything like that, anywhere. OK, I know the club are not very forthcoming when it comes to revealling the details of a transfer fee, but usually a pretty fair idea of what it entails emerges. Heard no whispers aboout this though..

Our second highest ever fee for a player sold....a player who has only very recently been getting largely positive feedback on NSC (before the sale). And yet some claim 'we woz robbed'. He's had one landmark game for the Saudis, with leg-memory from all the excellent coaching we gave him. How long before he's ruined by bad coaching?
And others criticise Tony's brinkmanship, too. You'd better rush off and challenge him to a game of cards, I recon.
Time we moved on, unless it's to note Burn's achievements (well done BDB for the MOM).

He was worth a lot more and a lot better than being denied his dream over £2m. A warrior, a servant, a great guy and the club rewarded him by not letting the difference between £13m and £15m stand in the way of his dream move. Hopefully it will happen again.

He had an excellent game today. A big upgrade for their team (literally).

Absolutely agree and we’ll be reminded of this for the rest of the season. One of the silliest transfers out we’ve done.. Makes you wonder what was being said in the boardroom to only go for approx £13m. It’s done now, but we well and truly got bent over with this one.
And they’ll be back for more in the summer….maybe we’ll sell them Webster and Bissouma for £18m each?
C’est la vie.

As I think you already know, the problem here lies elsewhere and not with your grasp of English!

Why oh why oh why?
We really missed Burn yesterday - that's why we conceded so many goals and lost.

Why is it so hard for people to admit the club has dropped a large one on this move?
£13M wouldn't buy you a mid range Championship defender let alone a seasoned professional with recent Premier league pedigree who was actually getting rave reviews.
I pity anyone who thinks this was a good deal for Brighton.

To be fair, that's the highest I've ever seen him jump.
Yeah the Wokeratti trying to cancel BDB is terrible.
People are realistic. 29 year old defender, who was not part of the starting eleven when everyone is fit, with 18 months left on his contract and £13m is a reasonable price.
Oh, is that what it meant? A great big thank you to you from all those of us who were completely baffled...............

I think we simply did BDB a MASSIVE favour, in light of the service he'd given us, and the desire he had to join his hometown club in what would likely be the final big deal of his career. He's made for life now and I wish him luck (whilst still deeply, DEEPLY wishing they go down). £13m was a pathetic fee in the current market for him, even more so considering that medieval arab scum with their bottomless pit.
We got humped in that deal, but for the right reasons I suppose. Doesn't detract from the fact that we'll not be able to replace him with £13m, without it being a punt on some obscure belgium herbert, or someone from the Championship.

Couldn't agree more. DA can take coals to Newcastle like BDB. But it might take an extra six months, so enjoy your time in the garden Dan

As director of football would Ashworth have been involved in sanctioning the sale of Burn to those Scottish sell outs? If the answer is yes then Wow.
