Roberto de Zerbi: Why Brighton boss is set to be 'one of the very best'​


Heart and blood - but disappointingly no mention of Big Balls.

Well worth reading………coming from someone as experienced as Lallana it’s incredible really.
He's right, Bloom is a genius and like Lallana, I cant say Id ever heard of him before he was linked here, but boy have we landed on our feet!

Potter was great and it was gutting when he walked out, and that awful feeling of was the bubble going to burst, but what a blessing in disguise........

not sure anyone (except Swansman!), would swap back.

Totally in love with RDZ, his passion and his brand of football.

Going to be discussed on TS shortly apparently......

Why doesn't Thomas Frank and most of the Brentford squad linked with going to Champions League clubs? It's always Brighton!
That has been asked and answered an awful lot of times.
I'd suggest you can probably work it out for yourself, but if not - which is perfectly fine - you will be able to see why from about 15:05 onwards, tomorrow.

Fingers crossed you won't see why they'll be a post ban clamour for Toney.
 




Reading some of the posts in this thread it's like some posters are desperate for him to actually leave just to prove a point here and feel a little smug about how they were right and he was too good for little old Brighton.

RDZ and Brighton are a great fit for each other. He's under very little pressure, inherited a well drilled squad with bags of talent that have taken to his style of play quickly thanks to the foundations laid by the previous manager. Bloom and Barbs have seen his ambition, what he's producing on the pitch and are tying down the important players with new contracts and I'm sure they're taking on board any targets or areas RDZ thinks we lack strength in depth. Nothing in the way he carries himself or deals with the press has said he wants out, so why think he'd jump at the Spuds job?

All the rest is just nonsense social media chatter. No one apart from Bloom, Barber RDZ and his missus have any idea what is in his contract. So just crack on and enjoy the show, all this speculative chatter on here just feeds mugs like Romano.
Think your probably spot on with this post👍

I like this bit; ‘An obsessive coach, De Zerbi is always searching for solutions. Rather than just resorting to the transfer market, he wants to help players learn and develop.’
I have seen several posts on NSC suggesting we have to change our model and spend big money to keep RDZ. Firstly, I wouldn’t do that as the club is bigger than any individual. Secondly, it doesn’t appear to be true and may just reflect the wishes of those posters.

Ps please don’t open the link if you are against funding the BBC. That would be sponging wouldn’t it ? :whistle:;)

Wish they would all just leave us the f*** alone for 5 minutes.

He might be their favourite but probably only until they realise how much compensation they would have to pay (along with his wages). Particularly when the others would not cost compensation.

Eh, I really don't think he'll leave the money heaven that is the PL to come back to Serie A this summer, especially at Inter.
Would Inter be able to afford his compensation? Aren't they in a huge financial mess at the moment?

are we now saying that an Italian would chose to manage Brighton over one of the biggest clubs in Italy?

They have been for a while, but the authorities aren't in a hurry when it comes to investigating them :rolleyes:

I'm saying he'd choose a PL club rather than one in Serie A right now, as in recent Italian interviews he didn't seem keen on returning so soon. I personally think he'll stay at least another year at Brighton regardless, but he'll certainly stay if you make it to the CL. Inter are 4th in Serie A (and this is not counting us, they'd be 5th if we get our -15 points penalty revoked), and they don't really play the kind of football that he likes, besides also having some lumbering expensive players like Lukaku that wouldn't fit him that well.

i find that hard to believe. If one of the top 4 Italian teams come calling I would suggest he would be off as quick as a pair of essex girls knickers.
