It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

I rate Palmer higher than Bobb, but Bobb is Norwegian so good mate for Haaland?

Can’t we keep both in squad, we have Alvarez, Foden and Bernardo who all need more game time so no need to replace Mahrez unless elected option appears? Assuming Bernardo stays and Cancelo also becomes wing option

The way that Haaland has integrated into the squad and quickly become mates with quite a few, plus the fact he's an ultimate pro, suggests to me that having a fellow Norwegian in the squad will make no difference to him at all. We're not talking about Kinky and all his mates here

Tony Bloom is a raging moron. I’m still completely mystified at his valuations of cucurella and caicedo but lets McAllister go for 35m or whatever. Granted i don’t recall how many years McAllister had left on his contract but hoping teams start telling him to fuck off relatively soon

He's anything but a moron. We would have possibly got Cucurella at around the £35million mark we thought he was worth but obviously the idiot at Chelsea decided to swing his dick and told them they'd pay up to £65million(?) so that was game over for us. Amusingly, transfermarkt has his worth at €35mill right now :)

Why wouldn't they try and rinse them again with Caicedo?

tony bloom is a very smart businessman but it may have a long term detrimental affect on their ability to sign players or their ability to negotiate contracts with the, as youd imagine that most players coming to brighton going forward are going to want reasonable release clauses in their contract before they sign on the dotted line

Or wait a year and get him for free, plus Mbappé get an outrageous signing-on bonus.

Good luck with that PSG madrid will sit tight and might bid with 2 days of the window left and bid max 100m

Maybe there is a release clause but it can't be activated for a season.
There are always two sides to a contract negotiation. No point in Brighton giving higher wages unless they can get more time and or a higher sale value for a player.

Such as, being able to go for a certain price to a club qualified for the CL, which neither Chelsea nor Liverpool are, hence the fight over Lavia ?

No it won't, McAllister had a release clause but you can bet your bottom dollar that any player who insists on one will be offered less signing on fee and/or wages to compensate for the club losing out 12/24 months later. It's swings and roundabouts in all contract negotiations.

I wouldn't even bid 100m for him at this point.

I'd either bid about 50m or just bid to take him on loan and get his 72m€ a year wages off PSG's hands.

Just to wind up that c*nt Al Khalifi.

Find it weird when I hear read that Chelsea need this play that player when they spent 800m on player last 14months so why did they buy these players? Money laundering?
