If someone asked you if Nakamba was a good player would you be talking about goals and assists? Did you watch him against us? He had 7 tackles and 1 interception himself. He’s the second best in the league at what he does only behind Ndidi in my opinion Nakamba is a defensive midfielder, Bissouma is a centre midfielder Completely different players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We understand where we are in the football football pyramid. You know that things can happen but my expectation is that we will have a strong squad come the end of the transfer window.” Potter on Bissouma speculation. Wouldn’t say he’s nailed on to stay at Brighton this window. Sounds like a man that knows he could be sold if the right offer comes in. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally you'd think he would have played in an FA Cup match? Sounds like perhaps something is happening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't like the mendy situation as far as i'm aware, as in its sexual assault rather than rape allegations and usually he would have been charged by the CPS by now. I don't know if there is an equivalent of malus and clawback in the football world, but i'm sure the legal teams would not put us in a position where we lose out financially. if something did happen then reputationally of course we would take a hit. personally i would make the signing if its possible. Some specific words here perhaps knowledge, but the suggestion that the sexual assault is ok because it’s not rape is worrying there are a lot of footballers out there why even take the risk with this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason he seems to proper despise Potter and the whole idea of anything Brighton related ever being praised or ever being good. Deano is gone now mate... Potter never took his job either . ( * JV Drops bombs, puts on tin hat and runs out the room.... ) EDIT: Regarding Bissouma, from what I've seen he's a very good all round midfielder, wouldn't even necessarily just call him a " CDM ". He's been very good whenever I've seen him. The same way I wouldn't even limit Kante to being called a " CDM " as he can do most things quite well. Things that are not true. I like Potter did a great job in Sweden but he is ridiculously overhyped and so are Brighton. Every Brighton player apparently is better than our players yet seem to struggle every season Cannot be a coincidence. Reo-Coker was an awesome midfielder at West Ham then joined Villa and was so limited 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t say he’s nailed on to stay at Brighton this window. Sounds like a man that knows he could be sold if the right offer comes in. Interesting statement. Bissouma has i think 18 months on his contract, i would imagine he wont sign another one, so either Brighton run down his contract, or try to sell him for a good fee this Jan or in the summer, i would guess they could get more now? In terms of getting some value from a player that probably wont sign a new contract, and with only 18 months left on it, it would make sense to try and cash in for as much as possible now tbh. Whether that means we are actually in for him, who knows!, Potter did say they have had no bids for him? Edited January 8, 2022 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 If we are going for him then it is because there aren't going to be any charges pressed - again it's all an if, but if we are bidding I'd be pretty certain it's because he's been informed that he's no longer in trouble.

Point is none of us know what he is actually accused of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
