That might be possible but Declan Rice, Reece James, Mason Mount, Jamal Musiala, Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham, Marc Guehi, Something Livramento, Tariq Lamptey, Nathan Ake, Conor Gallagher, Eddie Nketiah, Rhian Brewster, Dominic Solanke, Levi Colwill and probably forgetting some... sort of speaks for itself imo.

[Albion] I think we do need to talk about Bruno

So basically club legends all across world football are extinct?
Bruno is a club legend, whether he left for money or not doesn’t change what he did for the club and the way he has carried himself throughout his entire time here.
Dunk to Chelsea? In a heartbeat!
Except the call won't come because Potter knows he isn't good enough
He handed in a transfer request for Fulham ‘sake !!!
Yes but we are a top 4 side now. New league position, new class of manager, new rules.
Very, very difficult to recruit a new senior person whilst telling them ‘you have to give xx a job or else’ (been there myself on both sides of the discussion). Instant tension between head coach and owner. Incoming head needs to have the ability to build his own team - may very well be that Bruno would have been a welcome part of that, but equally may not have been.
I think Adam is in transition……..will be our next Bruno (and a bloody good one).
Thought he was coaching the first team, I was referring to facilities.
Probably seemed near enough at the time.
What changed his mind? Oh, offered more money/security!
Fancy that
Is it PotG?
Thrifty non-licker
In my eyes, there are many, many players and staff well ahead of him in that queue.
Do name them.

Point being, Dunk would still be a club legend if he left to a top team for treble the money.
(I'm going to whisper this. As a player, he was prone to many a hasty miss-placed pass. This improved towards the end of his career, but....still
)
But as highlighted we do have that approach. (Sorry, completing the circle - if we’d never done it then I’d agree with you).
Yes, would agree re Lallana, may even surpass Bruno….
Oh yeah people would jump up and down in pure joy if he moves to Chelsea in January.

Why, so you can pick them apart?
You know, I enjoyed sitting on the adjacent table in 'Spoons, Putney. Cheers

Our rules?
Point is though it depends on who is coming in - which as yet unknown, to us and more importantly to Bruno.

Jump up and down with joy? Certainly not, I’d be absolutely gutted but he would still be a Brighton legend for everything he’d done previous.Same with Bruno, yes he’s ****ed off for the money but everything Bruno did for this club before this means he will always be a club legend in my eyes, Bruno did so much outside of the footballing side of things for the city and people of the city.
Personally, I think he peaked a couple of years ago....
A move to Chelsea is 110% not on the cards. Possibly 150%. Fact.

Agree he is not going to move.
Don't think he is any worse (or better) than he's been the last few years though, but turning 31 now and for a footballer there's usually just one way from there.
