If we had signed Colwill I reckon JPVH would be plying his trade elsewhere now. I’d not swap him for Levi now either.

He is nailed on to be be a decent player in the Netherlands side for years imo

If we had secured Colwill then it does not mean JP was the one to be dropped, Dunk had injuries and was out of form (probably due to carrying an injury).

Cough

Not really - they have a big pool of top class CBs:

DeLigt
De Vrij
Van Dijk
Ake
Van de Ven.

Happy for him to have been noticed, and to make this long-list, but its no slight NOT to have made the 23/26 previously. Van de Ven didn't make their Euros squad either - and he is outstanding.

Cough off the bench versus Poland unless I m mistaken Which considering the circumstances is highly possible old chap

I may be wrong but I seem to remember that there were doubts about whether JPVH would sign a new contract until after we failed to sign Colwill

Don’t know the direction of this thread. But just need to say that Cruyff turn tackle against Haaland against city was absolute filth.

JPVH for next captain. You heard it here first.

If he continues to develop like he has until now, there's 0% chance he'll be around when Dunk retires.

Is that because we are a small provincial club that players can’t wait to get away from?

No, its because football is seriously sick.

We are doing to others as the bigger sharks are doing to us. Hard to complain without sounding like a clueless hypocrite though!

Give me this over 90% of the way we’ve done business since I started watching

Sorry to be an idiot but what's the first line of the JPvH song?

[Albion] - Songs from yesterday's match

Brighton and Hove is a unitary authority, so in local government terms is not in either east or West Sussex……. A bit pedantic, I feel! So 'You're gonna get you're f***ing recycling bin collected every other Tuesday' Has a good ring to it, if a little lengthy.
