Most were just agreeing he’s far better than Bentancur who has been ‘average at best’. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted May 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2022 Try and sell Dougie for £25-30m. Bring in Bissouma for £30-40m . Would be a nice bit of business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club like Brighton can't afford to let a 30m player leave for nothing so will have to sell this summer. Rumour has it Newcastle is interested as well.

Imho just as good as £125m Rice, but the latter’s a few years younger. Pace, mobility, relentlessly eliminating danger, justified arrogance. I hope he goes to a 2022/23 CL club instead —— Villa or Newcastle would feel like a waste of his talent. I can't blame the bloke for going to somebody who will triple his wages as I imagine either of those money-blinded clubs would, but it would be a shame to see him stuck in an ordinary side like Villa and Newcastle basically are. I want to see how he gets on in a really top team. —— Their owners are billionaires, who have already demonstrated with their comedy post-promotion signings that they are willing to throw a lot of money after particularly old rope. They very much like statement signings, to keep the fans happy, whether the numbers make sense or not. —— Rice is outstanding but I can’t agree that Bissouma is nowhere near him? But anyway, they’re different players. Rice is much more of an all round midfielder involved far more in West Ham’s attacking play than Biss is for us. I was talking about playing the defensive midfield role, just retrieving the ball and recycling it. I haven’t seen anyone close to Biss for that since Kante’s peak. —— Unbelievable! There is no one, and I include Kante nowadays, who does that job as well as Bissouma in European football. Not going to insult Brighton because I believe it's a well-run club that performs past its means, and should be applauded for it, but for Brighton fans to believe Newcastle or Villa aren't a step up just because they've just now managed to finish in the top half of the Premier League for the first time in their history is laughable. They've been a League One club for the majority of their existence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MWARLEY2 Posted May 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2022 We havent been in the top 10 for 11 years now. We are irrelevant to other fans. Just as i find other teams irrelevant . What matters is that we can attract players to our club. There is no story to us at the moment . We arent in the top 4 . We arent a plucky punching above our weight successful team. We have mid table revenue and we are in lower mid table. A bit like the Milwalkee Bucks. And look at what happened when they started disrupting the NBA . Once we start disrupting at the top and find our own attractive playing style with better and better players the perception of us will change. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 We got Kamara. No reason we can't get him either. Just the lingering question of a certain police matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Out of the two, I’d have said Kamara is far more unlikely to sign and we got that done. If we’re in for him, there is a strong chance we’ll get him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Not sold at all on Bissouma or Phillips. More interested in Bissouma at a reduced fee due to his contract than the £50-70m that was floating about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
