Because they get on with it and do it. I would suspect they pay agents very well. 6 minutes ago, Delphinho123 said: Surely he’s worth a punt at €10m or whatever? Even if we loaned him back for a season or whatever. Definitely. The worrying thing is I think Newcastle are already there with them. I do wonder what our plans were last summer if Gerrard hadn't darkened our doorstep. Edited November 28, 2022 by Tomaszk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the bigger clubs are happy for Brighton/Brentford to snap these up and then pay a premium when they have proven themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t have time to let players prove themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 They could genuinely be competing for a champions league spot this season, despite losing two first teamers to the top 4 and their coach, and losing Dean Ashworth to Newcastle. I know they have a lot of detractors on here but you’ve got to give them massive credit with what they are doing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 It will be a shame when it all goes tits up. I remember when Southampton were the poster child for youth development, developing players and selling for big fees and getting 3 or 4 managers on the bounce to be a hit and continue that philosophy. Sooner or later. If you get your best players and coaches pinched you go down the toilet. Nobody forever can have such 'luck' in the transfer market 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we beat them in November we stayed for the weekend and not only is the city great, the ground is in the most picturesque countryside it looks like something out of an Enid Blyton novel. Lovely walk to a local country pub about 10 mins from the ground with cottages and rolling hills everywhere. (Tho they made us cover our colours as no away fans. Must be due to their raucous reputation. Lol) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but they put on beer from the area of the away club tii which was a lovely touch. They were close to going bust not that long ago. Their rise has been great and they aren't looking like stopping. Good on them. This is why the Premier League is the best, the standard is just ridiculous.

Villatillidie95 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Mitoma has got to be one of the best pieces of business in a while? That guy can dribble, he has terrorised TAA twice in 2 weeks. Interestingly he turned down a professional contract with his first club, opting to go and study for a degree instead, he then returned to them after the degree and signed professional terms. Did his thesis on the art of dribbling and had his teammates at university wear cameras measuring dribbling ability apparently! I didnt know much about their manager before he was appointed but it seems he is a good fit for them and they also have a brilliant scouting department and setup so credit to the club 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Kinda gone in phases, Few years ago everyone wanted Southampton players then Leicester players, then Brentford players. Now its Brighton. All down to having a sound DOF and a good Scouting Networks + an element of luck that the player settles in to a new environment, philosophy and culture. Historically we've aways seemed to pay over the odds fees and silly wages and then the player leaves for next to nothing, Hopefully that will turn now The Don is here!
