But other Athletic reporters wouldn't be aware of our intentions. They may understand Brighton and Ornstein has a good relationship with Arsenal if he thinks they're likely to make a bid or more likely to win Bissouma's signature. But that doesn't cover our clubs intentions and who is on our list. Edited June 7, 2022 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Purslow snide comments joke or not about him to fans at Brighton I think it was never on The player himself I feel is overrated and expect him to flop elsewhere. He will join the VT hall of fame with Leroy Fer, Philip Billing and that ginger guy from Brentford who would instantly walk into our midfield but in reality achieved nothing What was this?

Between all the reporters you can join the dots… if the Phillips and Bissouma deals are on elsewhere, that must mean Villa have to look for someone else Edited June 7, 2022 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Who are the most reliable journalist for us these days anyway? Tom Collomosse and Percy still maybe? It seems like more of the journalist that are based abroad have more of a scoop on us these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percy is fed some info sometimes and others copy what he says. So guys the answer is clear believe Percy and no-one else 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Once Kamara signed I didn't really see a Bissouma type as a priority to be honest, unless we were to start playing a 4-2-3-1, which while I like the idea of it doesn’t appear to be the case. Despite the clamour for him to play as an 8 he's very much the deepest-lying midfielder for Brighton and generally does the same job that Kamara does except seemingly without the capacity (or responsibility at least) to pass the ball forward. Feel like he'll definitely move and be a good signing for whoever it is but at the same time there's a lot of players our there more suited to Villa's needs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
