I don’t think £35m is realistic. Brighton are well known for being hard bargainers, why should we think otherwise with Mac? The club and player had a gentleman’s agreement which must have been amicable to all. £45m would seem to be about right, good for everyone involved.
It is interesting though to see BHA playing hardball with the sake of our other coveted South American midfield star

Exactly. Has everyone taken crazy pills? Some people need to give their heads a wobble. Whatever the fee and whatever the reasons, TB and PB will have acted in the best interests of the club.

Are you suggesting we don't need the "Tony Bloom out" Poll on NSC?
Yes it's all gone a bit crazy. Let's get things into perspective. If Argentina hadn't have won the World Cup, I suspect there would be rather more people suggesting that we got quite a good price (whether it is 35, 45 or 55 million),.
I think the Cucu deal, which was crazy (in that Chelsea overpaid by 30+ million) has artificially raised expectations of what we should be expecting to get for our "star" players.
Having said that,if Moises goes for less than £150million, I'll be fuming
Genuinely one of the most bizarre statements ever made on NSC.

The most curious thing..
Although you want scousers to pay cash up front, in advance - can't be too careful.
It's funny that we all get so worked up about the fee, when it means very little to us fans other than being able to brag that we sold a player for a lot of money. If we don't make enough money from a player sale then it means Tony has to put his hand in his pocket to get the players we need. I'm pretty certain we wouldn't agree to a deal that didn't make financial sense to us.
I also think there's a good chance that Mac had options to go in January, and the new contract was a promise to stay until the end of the season, get us into Europe, then leave at an agreed price. Job done then.

Why? Name a competition they are in next season that we are not.

That's just betting odds. All that says is Brighton are undervalued.
Despite everyone on here disagreeing with you and giving you many valid reasons why, you are still clinging to the notion that Brighton to Liverpool is a sideways move?! That is a properly mental opinion, even as football fan forums go!
If it makes any of you grizzling about the fee any better, it turns out Bellingham is moving for about £40m less than has been speculated for the past few months.
Did you think it was a sideways move when Gordon Greer joined us from Swindon?
This time last year, would it have been a sideways move if a Southampton player had joined us?
None. But of the competitions we are in together Liverpool will be bigger favourites than us to win them. And they will be the bigger favourites because they are a bigger, stronger and richer club than us with better players. Football competitions aren't a roulette wheel where all numbers have an equal chance, and it's not the NFL where with the Draft and the Cap they try and make sure that all the teams, over time, can balance out.
And over five years say, (or however long Ali Mac's contract is for), I will bet my house on the fact that Liverpool will have more success than Brighton.

You are why I love NSC! Never say die spirit, fighting against all odds …. Love it.
Truth is, your just wrong, but please just keep being wrong as I like your posts!
Is this seriously a conversation? I hate Liverpool FC, but even I would struggle to argue that a move from us to them is a bad move for any player, they're light years ahead of us in terms of potential and how his career could benefit.
Let's face it, they've had their worst season in 10 years and we've had our best season ever, and come out as roughly equal. That alone tells you where we are as clubs.

That's really not a way to judge the relative merits or potential of two football sides. This is not the NFL or something.
I mean, Qatar and Argentina were both in last year's World Cup finals, but none of the latter's squad would have chosen to switch sides before the tournament started...
