Strog Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 De Zerbie interviewed saying Caciedo and McAlister likely to leave. They have so much other talent but they will do well to emulate this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoyman Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 They've only beaten us once, and we shithoused a lot and got away with a probable penalty decision in the last away win tbf, some antipathy understandable. Imagine how we'd feel it West Ham had Emi Martinez in goal every time they conspire to beat us. Or if the brain-dead Michael Oliver overturned VAR penalty from the Brighton game in the COVID season had also happened in every subsequent match The recent history seemed to be colouring things a bit today for Brighton's more Extremely Online contingent (the timewasting was way less egregious than at the Amex and our relative control of the second half extended well beyond that), and in terms of discipline the ref kind of lost control to nobody's overall benefit. It was a foul-heavy but not especially ill-tempered game and it seemed like the atmosphere in the stadium wasn't particularly hostile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they do well in the Europa. Yeah that was nice to see. Brighton deserve there place in Europe and place some fantastic football. Their fans seem OK generally from what I have seen but obviously you'll always get a few extreme views from any set of support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Looks like Liverpool are signing MacAllister from Brighton on the cheap. Apparently his new contract has a release clause of something from £45m - £61m. Amazing how they sign so many top players at bargain rates.

Ahhh yes, the "cheap" - which just happens to be more than what we've paid for any player, ever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Brighton have a policy of not inserting release clauses so I find that hard to believe. No doubt they have made a bid and will sign him but I don’t believe it’s a release clause.

mikeyp102 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 MacAllister going for £35m, perhaps Brighton not as well run as people say. Purslow would be held to account if we had such a low sell on clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does seem low considering Barnes is being touted for a similar price and Leicester aren’t exactly in Brighton’s negotiating position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it could be the case that he is a bit like James Milner was for us in his last spell here. To an outsider looking in he is not a fancy name or overly exciting in what you see on the tv highlights, but you appreciate him fully when you watch him in your own team pulling the strings week in week out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just speculation but there must've been some sort of release clause. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked very at home in the world cup helping Argentina win the thing. I think there's a quality player in there. Doesn't mean he'll work in the rebuild that is going on at Liverpool though...

Let’s hope not, nothing against MacAllister but I hope Liverpool crash and burn and we go sailing past them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
