MaVilla Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) another player thinking they can dictate to their club. (granted many can, but its a joke regardless). Completely unprofessional. Edited January 27, 2023 by MaVilla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I wouldn’t be too bothered if I were a Brighton fan. They’ve probably already got a replacement lined up. Will probably go for £70m, which is insane for someone that has played 26 PL games, and only 3 times as many in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Seems a little presumptious of him to say he will bring in a record transfer fee, unless it was written by his agent and a fee has already been agreed. And seems a few of the other Brighton players have been liking the post, which their fans aren't happy about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightly so too, completely disgusting from the player and/or agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moustache of Teale Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Feel sorry for Brighton on this - they’ve been here several times recently. Players engineering moves in this way leaves a sour taste and his agent is a complete word removed. I hope they stand their ground and tell Arsenal to do one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WallisFrizz Posted January 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 28, 2023 Feel glad that Douglas Luiz didn’t try any of this sort of stuff when we rejected the deadline day move for him. I’m sure he would have liked that move but he just got one with things with a smile on his face. Still seems happy. He probably will make an upwards move one day but hopefully with a lot more class than Caicedo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans just have to accept that players, and their parasites/entourages, aren't at all bothered about loyalty to mid-table clubs. All of ours would probably jump at the chance to play for Arsenal, Chelsea, Man U, Man City or Liverpool (let's be honest, Spurs aren't that big of a draw) if it were offered, even if it means sitting on the bench or playing in reserves for most of the season. That's what the ideal of a successful career means to them. Edited January 28, 2023 by His Name Is Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 The disruption might work in our favour in terms of our league position, but I still feel sorry for Brighton. Gone through this enough times ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Brighton will always find themselves in this kind of situation because of the natural order of football, they’re not a big club irrespective of how well the team is performing, that may change in the future of course if they continue to do well and grow the fanbase but that’s a tall order as well all know. That being said, I don’t like or condone/support it when players try so publicly to engineer moves away, but this again seems to be becoming part and parcel of the sport now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I always find it difficult to get annoyed with a lack of loyalty from players towards the club. Because it only ever works one way. When a player is shit there's no loyalty from fans. They'd want them out of a job as soon as possible. They only want loyalty from good players. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Funny how Brighton keep signing players for £10 and turn them into stars, only to see them run for the door asap. Is De Zerbi really that unpleasant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomav84 Posted January 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2023 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?
