Ffs. This would be annoying. Fact is that we can’t compete with the big guns. At least we are trying. I prefer these days to when Steve sidwell went to reading over us as we couldn’t compete.

it would indeed be annoying, not because he’s gone there, which would be expected, but because both liverpool and chelsea have basically waited until we’ve got everything sorted so they know what the fee will be before walking in and turning the players head.

i know the original tweet references that it is too late but there’s no such thing really. if the liverpool interest is genuine, he will go there.

It's the way they operate. Why would you need to do all the work. Think Spurs and the hijacking the Archie Gray deal from Brentford.

It's a bit like on one of those Attenbrough documentaries, where the Cheetah has patiently waited days to make a kill, used up it's energy, taken all the risk, then a pack of Hyenas walk over and take the prize.

Not a bad analogy but unlike the others mentioned Hyenas do have some redeemable features.

1908.nl say that fee is now agreed. SO just medicals. On his way to Lancing apparently.
30m Euros plus add ons.

Formeel akkoord Feyenoord & Brighton over Wieffer • It’s happening!

Nadat eerder een mondeling akkoord gevonden werd, hebben Feyenoord en Brighton & Hove Albion FC donderdag halverwege de middag een formeel akkoord bereikt over de transfer van Mats Wieffer. Er gaat een bedrag van dertig miljoen euro gemoeid met de transfer. Dat bedrag kan middels laagdrempelige...

I'm sure we can make a much better analogy involving shell-suited scouse scallies in this case.

Most of the liverpool hijack articles seem to give a dramatic headline suggesting a hijack is possible, but then when you read the full article it says its too late for that to happen, a deal is pretty much done with brighton, or simply suggesting that liverpool should try to hijack the deal because he's a good player who Arne Slot knows but gives no evidence that it will happen.

 

[chaileyjem]

"According to well-informed sources at Brighton, Feyenoord's general manager Dennis te Kloese is currently in England to finalise the deal."

A Romano fuss because he's rolled back from a "here we go " to this >>

 

[trueblue]

Translating the original Dutch article, maybe the last line is close to the truth but less dramatic. It says Slot would really like him but the Sporting Director Richard Hughes is 'fishing behind the net'. Not sure whether that means they're too far behind to nip in or Hughes is looking elsewhere but does sound more promising for Albion than the top line.

1908.nl dismiss the Liverpool rumours

 

[barbus_max bhafc]

Excellent news

 

[Hiheidi]

Does that mean we can start tracking flights now?

 

[brighton_tom]

Important signing this i feel. Makes our defensive unit more solid with him in front of them, and gives the attacking players more confidence to push forward knowing he's behind them to mop up loose balls and protect against counter attacks.

 

[Napper]

potentially 60 m spent in a week on 2 positions we need.

DM possibly our biggest hole at the moment. Could this be our Caicedo replacement finally

Know nothing about him but this feels like a major signing and really strengthens us where we were really weak
