I know people will scoff, but we could have done with picking up Caicedo for 4.5m and Cucurella would have been a decent signing at the price they paid. Ferguson, Pedro, Mitomo too. Whether they can translate that to the top level remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Surely it would have been better for Boelake to just buy Brighton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledblue Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 What other dregs are left at Brighton for us. Maybe we can sell Cuca and Sanchez back. Maybe also Caicedo who seems to have forgotten how to pass and tackle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to sign a long contract on mega money. not so happy when the club aren't prepared to pay him off. The real scandal here, is whoever agreed his contract.

It’s quite a story, I covered it in the transfer thread a while back. I know the tale told by the owner/chairman at Le Havre might be one-sided but it doesn’t read well. I’m also cynical enough (not always a good thing, when mental wellbeing) to think is this a tactic to get the move made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall we were actually in for Caiceido when he was still playing in Ecuador, or at least we were the first and only team I saw linked with him for a good while before he moved to Brighton. Same with Andrey Santos, seems our old scouting network wasn't too bad for young players, we just bought a lot of older duds.

You know I'll stick the boot in to these owners given any half chance, but I think the Le Havre version of events just reads as bollocks. It would be completely in Sarr's interests to be telling a new club he's agreed a termination while negotiating with them, completely in that club's interests to believe that, and completely insane for us to to pull the plug at the last minute having agreed a deal where we limit our losses. We lose out more than the player, here. If he wanted out and was willing to take only 25-50% of his salary, he'd be well out the door. I don't believe a word of what Le Havre's or the player's camps are briefing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we paid half of Sarr's contract, it is better than what we are doing now, and paying 100% for him to contribute nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a risk but frankly it makes our South American punts look like a much better deal. This guy never will or could make it and shame on those that bought into it.
