[Albion] If Gross Were to Sign for Liverpool . . .
- Thread starter Cowfold Seagull
- Start date
Nothing to do with whether we sell Gross to Liverpool or anyone else. Even if he establishes himself as a semi-regular Brighton player, we're never likely to recoup the money we spent on Locadia - what was it? £13-14M, plus another couple of million in wages since we signed him. Whether or not he is the not-so-good looking deal he seems to be at the moment, that shouldn't affect the comings and goings of other players.
If - and I think it's a big if - Liverpool offer a price that TB is happy to take, and the player wants to go, that's it, and at that point Locadia just come into it.

Square peg, round hole. If we sell Gross be should buy a proper no. 10 to replace him. Simple as. But he's not going anywhere in all likelihood so we don't need to worry.

So much chat over something that is not going to happen.
Liverpool or any top 6 club won’t be making any offers for Gross!
He’s a good player but arguably not good enough for the top clubs.

The question is why can’t Pascal play away just don’t get it.
Invariably the players who are supposed to be in front of him are behind the 4 defenders.

All of this. Gross is far more valuable to us as a club than £15m. Finding a player who could come in and be as integral to the team for less would be a near impossible task.

Yes of course, but if l was a professional footballer I would be wanting to play games regularly too, not rot on the bench.

He would be £30m all day long.

Perhaps we should ask Liverpool for Henderson in exchange, that should stop them pushing for him.

Henderson is an overrated player in my opinion, and Liverpool can push all they like, Gross is under contract and we have absolutely no obligation to sell.
Didn’t I mention we’d be bringing in Ruben Loftus-Cheeks on loan for the rest of the season too? [emoji2]
while under 'no obligation' would the club really stand in the way of a chance for a player to go to a top 6 club ? ... after all they have stated in the past if the right offer came in anyone is open to be sold to a top 6 team just not to a competitor in the remaining 14

Strange thread, there is literally nothing to indicate that Andone is a playmaker! He hasn’t played there for us yet and as far as I can make out he has spent his whole career playing as a centre forward up front on his own.
I'm beginning to think the Albion should make life 'interesting' for us fans by only buying players from palace.
See if it's possible for players to improve just by not spending their days in a mice infested hovel.
If Gross were to leave. We don't have a ready made replacement at all, we would have to buy someone. That's why he won't get sold. We don't need to sell anyone. Not one player has left the Amex the Manager didn't want to lose except perhaps Jamie Murphy and that was only because he couldn't force his way into the team and he really wanted first team football.
