[Albion] Is this true,re Bissouma

[Mancgull]

Best scenario is that he stays until the end of this season and then we get a reasonable price for him. January is possible though I suppose, especially as we've started the season well.

From what we saw from our midfield last night we need to keep him forever. That won't happen of course but a huge gap to fill if/when he goes

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

Well, there were many 100% certain he was going this summer…

Mwepu , Caciaedo, Moder to name a few in no particular order , we nicked a draw away from home against a team that embarrassed spurs a few weeks ago ..

And Gross isn't the answer, especially playing next to Lallana. In a league this physical they are too slow to play together, ever.

Thanks for your answers, surely if Ben White was worth 50 Mil then Bissouma is worth just as much

Hard to say - Ben White had a long contract with us and there is an "English premium". I have no idea why Arsenal paid it, as this normally only applies to teams playing in meaningful European competition.

£30m seems low, but if there is a gentleman's agreement that we wouldn't hold the player back if a decent offer came in, and his contract isn't long, then I suppose it's possible. It feels like we should get a lot more than that though - he's worth a lot more than that to us.

This is totally true.

While it does make sense that he's going to move on at some stage, it's hard to say it will definitely be in one window or another. There are dozens of variables that those on the outside can only speculate about

Completely right. This is the time to identify his long term replacement and give them the game time they need.

Gross and Lallana was a poor selection

a collective age of nearly 65.....dodged a bullet there.

And neither were quick 10 years ago.

Fabulous players, but not together in the engine room

It'll be impossible for #teamslikebrighton to replace a bona fide, at the peak of his powers, world class talent like Bissouma. The club has got to get Mwepu up to speed and keep developing academy players like Leonard, Moran & Caicedo - but Biss is the most complete midfielder I've ever seen in the stripes - and I'm usually loathe to fire off such hyperbole. Firmly believe that Palace do not appear to dominate last night if Biss is there to **** with Gallagher and Milivojevic.
