[Albion] Tino Livramento

[dwayne]

I was going to point out that Wan-Bissaka went for £50m after one good season, or ask how much you think Lamptey would have been worth if it he hadn’t got injured and had kept up his form over a season, or mention how White cost £50m after a season in the Prem despite being half a decade older.

But then you saved me the effort by not even knowing the nationality of the player the thread is about so it’s much easier to write you off as not having a clue. Cheers for being so efficient

Whatever !!

Regardless of nationality the thinking is the same.

Are you really going to tell me that if the deal for lamptey included a 25m buy back clause for Chelsea you wouldn't have taken him ? Of course you would and so would every other fan.

No I wouldn’t. If Lamptey can solve his fitness issues, then surely he is a £40M-£50M player like White after a couple of seasons ?

Oh and Lamptey had 6 months left on his desk vs 1 season for this lad

Really hope this one doesn't come back to haunt us.

I have to say, I understood the stance if the buy back was £25m but £40m is massive, if we turned Lamptey around for £40m we’d be thinking it’s great business. Who knows, have to trust the club I guess.

I can only imagine his wage demands were ridiculous enough for us to step away from any deal.

If Livramento was hit by a bus outside Saints training ground and was unable to play again, would that mean he would also have failed to make the grade at Brighton?

If somehow Bielsa implausibly switched from Leeds to Saints and turned Livramento from an unheralded former Chelsea youth into a full international, would that mean he would also have been a massive success under our mortal management structure?

He was never our player, he felt his future lay elsewhere, there is nothing to come back to haunt us.

I can only imagine he chose them over us

 

[Wardy's twin]

This does look like one we should have been able to secure but who knows why it didn't work out i.e. we weren't prepared to pay or that he felt Southampton was a better choice..

Indeed, there was obviously something about the deal that our hierarchy weren’t subscribing to.

A bit radical, that .....................

It would ralistically mean that we'd dodged a bullet - not that I would wish us to be dodging bullets in such a way.

It’s the £25m buy back clause I would imagine put us off.

Gazumped by a better deal from Saints. It happens. Onto the next one.

............ plus he's not the striker we so desperately need to avoid inevitable relegation this season.

 

[casbom]

Despite Brighton probably doing the right thing in not going through with the deal, I'm still pissed off we didn't get him! If it's true that we could have got him for £5m and then sold him back to Chelsea for £40m (that's if they want him back) then seriously what is wrong with that?

If Karbownik is not up to speed/scratch then we need another RB/RWB as it's obvious Lamptey is not going to last a full season. We need pace down the right and Veltman (although an able deputy) is not the answer.

rant over

 

[um bongo molongo]

If the buy back clause really is that high, then it doesn’t seem a reason not to do it. sadly, he may have just chosen them over us…

Oh no!
Are we going back down again after all that effort and money?
Shit!

 

[Machiavelli]

I think you’re right but that we’ll play a back 4 a hell of a lot more than we did last season. Seems to me that Potter has been testing a 4-3-2-1 in pre-season and will do on Saturday too. The fact that we have about 15 central midfielders and one less top level centre back supports this idea.

You of all people might know that I went for 4321 in the team for Watford thread

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I find it very hard to believe that Chelsea would have bothered to put a £40m buy-back clause in.

No benefit for them to do that.
The only reason to add a buyback clause would be to play him or sell him on.

I can't see £40m being a good deal for them in either case.

Is the wrong answer. It was a hypothetical question. The point being he would not have been outside the Saints training ground to get hit by a bus, IF he had signed for Brighton
