They chased him for a few years, he was on the brink of signing in 2023 too but it collapsed literally at the last minute on deadline day. Brightons recruitment team get a lot right but I find this one a bit odd.

More likely to go back to Derby anyway Cashin 🙄

Hard to believe anyone thinks your posts are credible to be quite honest, you’ve posted an insane amount of bullshit and never get anything right 😂

That's a really odd signing for Derby if they get him, presume they've done considerable homework on him to shell that out for him but the bulk of his career is university level 😕

Every football message board around will have their version of all the posters mentioned. We're actually not so hard done to given that our fan base is relatively small. Imagine the Leeds message board with 10 or more Chaddy-esque posters on, I'd have to call it a do at that point.....

I actually thought Weimann would be a much more useful signing that Batth at the start of last season. I was wrong, although I'mn ot saying Weimann was poor, he did a job. Batth played more games than I expected and for the most part was excellent. I think it's a season too many for Weimann and he's creaking a bit, I'd be surprised if he manages more than 15 or so starts. Batth should have been kept, no question, he seems more robust

In fairness injuries can just be bad luck. I lift a lot of weight, 5 or 6 times a week, heavy weights. I pulled a muscle wiping my arse last year 🤣

When we sign a player it's always a 'undisclosed fee', yet for a failed bid it's mentioned as 1.7m 🤣 Even if we had put a bid in it would be for 200k with 1.5m in add ons for promotion etc. The worst thing is, some people actually fall for it, just seen a twitter post saying we're and I quote "throwing money about this summer". Blows my mind that after all these years there's still people that lap it up....

There's absolutely shit loads of teams in Spain, shouldn't be an issue finding opposition although the standard won't be great I don't think. Real Murcia and Cartagena would be the obvious choices.....

Better on a Saturday in August than a Tuesday in January tbf, not that I believe it's a legit rumour like.

I know he was here before Waggott 🙄 but I'm saying its odd he always survived especially given our turnover in backroom staff. It's no surprise, none at all, that you'd think it was completely normal.

Are there really people out there that Nixon hasn't blocked? 🤣 He was literally arguing with a bot the other day, then subsequently blocked it ...

Yep good for betting but his childishness was ridiculous with pretty much all of his bookings, its hard to believe he didn't get clattered a bit more as a result. Looked like he couldn't be arsed half the time, there's definitely some talent there but I doubt anyone is going to put his attitude right and his face straight at this stage...

It's always been a bit odd how under multiple managers Lowe has never been replaced. If he goes now it implies he was either in bed with Waggott or Ismaeel has a bit more sway than previous managers. Pretty sure it's the first option.

Well no because I'm not saying anyone who has a different opinion doesn't have a clue am I? You're saying anyone with a different opinion to you is basically wrong/clueless 🙄 We've had years of Dolan splitting opinions now, it's nothing new and there's a reason for that, because he's been consistently inconsistent.

He has said it, multiple times, when specifically being asked about contract negotiations, not random interviews. If you don't think the 2 correlate so be it.

Haven't got a clue because people have different opinions? He was ineffective in many games last season, downright wasteful and frustrating in others. He did however turn in some good appearances, the best ones though came towards the end of the season, putting himself in the shop window at all? Nobody knows what he's been offered, but one way or another the valuations don't meet.

He's said countless times he wants to play at the highest level, to a player in this country that's the premier league. Does anyone on here think Dolan is a premier league player? Listen I'd prefer Dolan to stay, but none of us know what he's demanding. I doubt he'll ever amount to more than an average championship player though....

The way Dolan talks about himself, he clearly rates himself more than anyone on here does. As such I dare say he’s asking for a pretty hefty contract. He’s clearly close to his family so pretty sure he’d want to stay in the area, his problem might be a lack of offers though, I can’t see any north west teams championship and above being interested.

One of either Oldham or Accy won't even be in it....they play each other in a preliminary round Bolton would be decent, wish they'd have come up last season tbh but they went tits up.

I don't think Ayari was poor, just wasn't really used for some reason. It's quite impressive he managed to breakthrough to the Brighton team the season after, certainly can't be based on his time here. Now valued at over 20M.....

Stick a massive promotion add on in there then do everything you can to hamper promotion. A foreign team having a quick gander at our league finish last season could easily think a promotion bid is a possibility this season too I suppose....

If we're paying a fee up to 2 million, he's not being brought in to sit on the bench is he?

That's the worry, midfield wasn't the priority but with 2 in 2 days, something must be afoot surely... Absolutely no idea about this lad but it's certainly a more interesting signing than Forshaw, who we know is shite already.

There's a term used by doormen "jacket filler", for someone who has the long jacket and his badges, but they don't get involved if shit hits the fan, they're just there making up the numbers. Forshaw is the footballing equivalent, he'll do fuck all useful and is pretty much just an extra body making up the numbers. Not sure how anyone can dress it up as a useful signing, awful waste of money when funds are tight.
