Nobody really wins in this. At christmas if you did come back for him if he hasnt gone he will still have 3 and half years on his contract and i think Bloom will still stick with the price he wants. Risky move if it was me i would be sorting out a deal now, but its his money.
Well his nickname is “the lizard“

He couldn’t stand upto the Manchester pressure
Being greedy and denying a player his dream move is not a good message to other players who are chased by Brighton. They may regret this stance!
Bloom has just put £11m on.
Didn’t change Brighton’s valuation, so not really
It’s more about finality, surely? Despite the gesturing in media circles, the official nature means the pressure is applied firmly at Brighton’s boardroom, who will (as we all knew), will meet in the middle of the extra £10m they are trying to rinse, rare once these go in that a deal isn’t made!

Not at all, Kane refusing to hand in a request was down to the 15m+ he’d of lost in loyalty bonus, he was done a kipper by levy, no such thing here!
The question is also I suppose, would the Brighton manager still be happy to have an “asset” like that on the books, until Jan next year at the earliest, where he wasn’t being utilised and at best was making a half-hearted effort. In that scenario I can see manager putting some pressure on chairman (to get rid).
If he does that he'll end up at Liverpool, they are quite happy to take players under those circumstances.
It’s the final nail in the coffin mate. We are still going to have to cough up though.
Maybe im being a bit thick here but why is he waiving money if he hands in a transfer request ? Genuine question
He’ll lose all loyalty bonuses mate.
By putting a request in writing I assume it means he will lose the ability to claim any loyalty bonuses in his current contract.
Generally speaking once a player puts a transfer request in the die is cast. He’s going.
