Alexis Mac Allister

We want players who will be fine with rotating and not put up a fuss because of it.

Perhaps he didnt want that and wanted to be a starter near every game.

There are almost zero players who can demand that of City. And the few who can, Mbappe, Vinicius etc. already were going to start anyway and wouldn't demand it.

We are now beyond the point any player can demand starting.
 
I must be missing something. How have Brighton sanctioned such a low fee when their chairman resolutely held out for a ridiculous sum for Cucurella?
 
Txiki will have contingency plans based on who might leave and when.
My bet is a Argentinian.
Fret not.

Great player. Really surprised we haven’t gone for him. Bernie & Gundy will be gone probably this summer if not both gone by next year.

Report today suggested his agent is in with Liverpool. Makes sense now.

That is my fear,extending Gundo's contract is great,but its very short term thinking,and we have allowed an absolute perfect replacement and bargain.....to join a rival.

I guess we wait and see what we pull out of the hat,and trust management to continue to get it right.

Selling someone back to Brighton at a low fee? That said, I have no clue who Brighton would be interested in and who would want to move to Brighton, the club, from the red dippers.

Seems strange though. Doesn't exactly strengthen your hand when dealing with other clubs who come for your players. And sets a precedent for your current stars.
What if Caceido's agent knocks on Tony Bloom's door demanding a move? He's entitled to say, "You let MacAllister go for peanuts, you can't price my player out of a move after doing that."

Very surprising after all their posturing over Cucurella.

I'd imagine it's some release clause
 
A very good player bought for initially a very low fee - relatively speaking. Unexpectedly, media coverage is universally positive for this signing. It's not unreasonable to expect his former club to finish higher than his new one next season though.

Yes, that was my point.

We can't promise players that they'll be automatic starters and thats why it's not as simple as saying we should just go get x player or why weren't we in for x player.
 
Just bumped into a Brighton supporting mate. He's pissed off if the price is true. Said he's a good player, but has the tendency to go missing.

Not that arsed really him going to the dippers, they're shite.
 
It's weird Liverpool have got him on the cheap considering some of the dross they have sold for a similar price. They also got gakpo for half the price the Trafford Red socks were quoted.
 
Brighton players' agents may have learnt the lesson of Tony Bloom asking prices.
get in a lower release clause otherwise I dont sign my player to Brighton, is what these agents will tell Tony Bloom if they are any clever.

they do great scouting but then they want to ripoff clubs.

we would be still negotiating with Dortmund for a price of Haaland if Raiola had not come up with the 51m clause.
