** Update: Will Buckley moves to Sunderland confirmed, three-year deal **

[Brightontillidie10]

Defo take that...just hope there's a good enough replacement...

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

Redmond will go to a Premier side for good money

Exactly my point, after Snodgrass they will most likely cash in on Redmond, which probably makes EB's sale thereafter far less likely.........then there are EB's wages to compete with.

Same reason why Craig Noone would probably not be on our list either.

Sully was good but I call him as a midfielder. His beauty was he did not make the first obvious pass and held on to the ball before choosing what to do.

I thought he was more of a winger when he first arrived but dropped back a bit as the years went on? Absolute wand of a left foot, fantastic player to watch.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Hasnt got a Black Cat in hells chance of passing a medical.
So as we were.

 

[albionalex]

Despite selling Snodgrass Norwich still have several wide players (EB, Redmond, Pilkington, Murphy) so wouldn't rule out one of them moving on - but I suspect Redmond would be the one in most demand.

I think I read that they're trying to move Pilkington on.

 

[Eeyore]

We only have The Sun as a ground source for this. A bit like Fillip Kostic....

 

[Mackenzie]

No doubt he will be replaced with some useless tw@t from Barnsley.

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Remember how Poyet boasted about "stealing" Bridcutt? Which Sunderland did.
Hopefully the board have learnt their lesson so if he wants Buckley they'll have to come back with three times the reported offer.
Problem then is how does the club replace one of our best players within a FFP wage structure?

Yes, I spoke too soon there.

 

[dazzer6666]

£2.5M for a bloke who can't play 3 games straight. And looks a shadow of his former self when he is playing. No brainer.

This

 

[Marshy]

The war chest will not be as big as you think, expect freebies and loans FFP will win again

Lets wait and see, I am very confident we will spend plenty.

I think I read that they're trying to move Pilkington on.

Pilkington linked with a swap deal to Bolton which they have denied. Norwich took up an option on Pilkington's contract in the summer but have given him no play time. This has fuelled rumours of a transfer as the option ensure's Norwich get a fee....

We can't replace the players we have already let go.

 

[Rich Suvner]

I bet Buckley will probably do well at his next club.

If they're offering 2.5m good luck to them. I'd suggest we could do without the risk and should reinvest that money.

 

[Triggaaar]

The only problem with Buckley is his susceptibility to injuries, which means he'd probably fail a medical, and return unhappy. If his body has recovered enough to pass a medical, then he'll go on to be a great player, and we'd regret selling him.

 

[Skaville]

Just like we have done with the millions we got for Ulloa . . . not yet we haven't. We got the money in the bank so we should have targets. If the targets are from the PL we should bring in someone when the Pl teams name their squads. If they are not PL the targets should be in now. Don't get rid of Buckley unless a better replacement is signed.

He's been rubbish for 18 months, just the odd flash of form. March is better right now in my opinion. However, we do need strength in depth.

 

[Don Quixote]

As long as we reinvest the money.

 

[the wanderbus]

Take the money and run

But not at full pelt incase your hamstrings go

 

[jamie the seagull]

"Brighton are willing to let the player leave but want nearer £3m, with West Brom’s interest likely to spark an auction for the 25-year-old."
