KAZZAM Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 29 mill buy option for Mckennie seems pricey for him. Juventus clearly need to sell some assets but I imagine Mckennie will have to have a really good season for Leeds to activate that. Bit like the 33mill Coutinho buy option which didn't get activated then got renegotiated to 16mill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton apparently have a great analytic set up which I dont think Southampton had at the time People very much used to say that Southampton had an incredible analytics team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 1 hour ago, tomav84 said: sounds like brighton are standing firm and told him not to show his face around the training ground until the transfer window closes where they expect him to remain a brighton player unless a bid of 90m is put on the table. good on them. i'm not sure how it can be done, but there needs to be something done here to stop players doing this crap. lengthy bans if players publicly declare a desire to move before either an official transfer request has been submitted and/or an official bid has been accepted maybe? The contracts need to be made so that they are paid when they do their job, meaning that if they throw a strop for not getting their transfer, no wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over £1m a year. He'd have probably been offered a new contract in the summer if he was going to stay. No chance now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I get the argument that Caicedo is being ungrateful, but if Brighton get £80m for him it’s not as if they are just pandering to him and letting him leave just to be nice. They could do a shit load with that money, off the pitch as well as on it. Still don’t like how he has gone about it though with that embarrassing message.

useless Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 When Dan Ashworth left Brighton I saw a quote from them stating that it's a club policy not to stand in the way of any staff that want to leave the club, I think that's probably how they attract players to them in the first place, so in that sense can't really complain when players or staff want to leave, but in Caicedo's case he's obviously gone about it in the wrong way, and given he's not even played a PL season worth of games for them probably asking to leave sooner than reasonably would have been expected and The Seagulls are understandably aggrieved. Their fans getting fed up as well as recently lost Cucurell, Bissouma, Trossard, Ashworth, and Potter and his staff in quick succession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for the Games Gone thread. The 'value' of players has no basis in reality. Well, it hasn't for years, but recently, even more so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
