[Albion] De Zerbi: “Bigger clubs can buy our players but they can't buy our soul or spirit.”

[Zeberdi]

Yeah - it gets to a point when agents and their players have dicked you around for so long, you just wanna tell them ‘just f..k off already if you are going‘.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

It's a better quote when you add the "that's not on the market" ending. Legendary

 

[Official Old Man]

Radio 2 (Jeremy Vine) spent 30 minutes talking about married people having affairs and all that. 40+ years and stuck with my old girl through thick & thin-
But I've suddenly been tempted away. I've man love with RDZ.

 

[Nobby]

I love this guy. - more than any other Brighton Manager.
The full quote from the BBC

"I have already forgotten about Moises," De Zerbi told a news conference. "I'm really proud of the players we have in the squad.

"We want to keep improving. The credit goes to the club. Bigger clubs can buy our players but they can't buy our soul or spirit.

"We are Brighton, we achieved a big target last year - the same as Liverpool, better than Chelsea. I would like players who are proud to play in Brighton."

 

[mrgull]

Now we read that Moises only wants to go to Chelsea. Last transfer window it was Arsenal. What concerns me more than anything is the agent sticking his oar in, with an ulterior motive? and an interest of his own and not necessarily that of the player!!!

 

[Springal]

He’s not even left yet and he’s saying that

Tells you all about what’s happened the last couple of months

 

[willalbion]

Wonderful man. I think I love him.

You ‘think’? You definitely love him. Me too btw.

 

[METALMICKY]

"Bigger clubs can buy our players but they can't buy our soul or spirit"

Bit of an upgrade on that gormless **** sucking through his teeth, shrugging his shoulders and pronouncing "It is what is"

Nailed it! Graham who?

 

[el punal]

But I'm off to Newcastle in October...

But . . . but . . . we don’t play them away until the end of the season.

 

[el punal]

Come on someone, do a mock up T-shirt with those words :

“They can take our players but they can’t buy our soul or spirit.”

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Big soul.
Big spirit.
Big balls.

 

[big nuts]

Big soul.
Big spirit.
Big balls.

That’s got to be our motto next season. Would make for a cracking t-shirt.

 

[We're the Stripes]

He really does just get it, doesn't he? You could tell from reading some of the quotes (translated from Italian) from his career prior to joining that he has a wonderful way with words. Now his English is getting better and better, I'll expect there'll be many more brilliant soundbites of this ilk to come.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

That’s got to be our motto next season. Would make for a cracking t-shirt.

If it is, I want 10% every time it's used.

Until someone else comes along and offers 12.5%

 

[el punal]

As an aside regarding ‘big clubs’ Chelsea are so desperate for all things Brighton that if there was a half and half Chelsea/Albion scarf they would buy the Albion half.

 

[Hamilton]

Note that he says "maybe we lose Caicedo"

All the headlines are "I've forgetten Moises already", but that's not everything that he said.

It means that if a deal is done, so be it. If not, then we move on. I'm sure a deal will be done, but RDZ is wise to all possibilities.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Was just about to say this quote needs to be added to the NSC logo like 'were lose' etc but just noticed it's not there anymore!

Does he? Where was that?

 

[chaileyjem]

I love him but before we get too carried away ....Guardian Football Weekly podcast - today - spent a bit of time fretting on Albion's behalf as part of their season preview that RDZ would come under pressure / get frustrated at player exits / and have his head turned by a "big job in Europe" at some point this year.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Pretty sure this is a line from Braveheart. Did he scream and attack journalists with a claymore afterwards?
