Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
100% no chance. Jarrad will hopefully stay another year and then move to someone like City or Real. I do think he needs one more year with us anyway. His only slight weakness is one on one with the elite players in the league. If he can get better at that side of the game and keep a few more of the...

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Like I say, easily the worst of the big clubs to join. If they're the only serious bidder, back yourself to have another really good season and wait for a City/Arsenal/Madrid type club to come in for you, and stay away from the circus at Old Trafford. I'd probably say Chelsea is a worse option tbh,...

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Nah, not for me, chief. There's still a chance they're keeping ETH, which is absolutely wild. Wait for another club that's going to be stable and develop you properly. You look at how Rashford has gone backwards, how they've completely mismanaged Sancho and others, and I think if you and your agent...

Re: Jarrad Branthwaite
Why would anyone with serious potential go to Man U? Reckon that's why he's not pushing for a move this summer. I think with the right managerial appointment they've got a good crack at 4th next season, so it'd still be a massive step up from us. Also he'd likely be given a chance with England just...

Re: New Kit
I know the V neck one is a cheap knock off, but can't help worrying the real one will look just as cheap (if this is indeed based on the actual kit).

Re: Manager Merry-Go-Round
Are these managers getting jobs because their contract demands are much lower than an Ancelotti, Tuchel, Poch, Conte, Zidane etc etc? It makes almost no sense for a club like Bayern to employ someone like Kompany unless his wages are maybe a quarter of a top proven manager. It feels like they see po...

Re: Dyche
Yeah if he can be moved on then yeah think we'd all be happy enough, but if he does have to come back into the fold I hope there's no like bad attitude towards him. He's a spirited fella, and our fans did give him shit over his form, he's been quite reserved tbh considering what you might expect fr...

Re: Kalvin Philips On Loan
I think we do have the luxury of waiting for a player to develop, if we buy them at the right time and for the right fee. DCL and Branthwaite were something like £3m in total. DCL came through more quickly, but when you're spending so little, you have the time to do what we did with Branthwaite and...

Re: Kalvin Philips On Loan
Yeah I was more commenting on the fact people were saying he'd cost 25m. Obviously we can't just buy a load of cheap South Americans. I do think paying big wages for players that have fallen well short at big teams isn't the way to go either. Especially given how poorly Phillips did at West ham Yea...

Re: Kalvin Philips On Loan
Caicedo cost Brighton 4m. Us and utd passed because the paperwork was too difficult apparently We got DCL and Branthwaite for less than that combined. Not saying we're the masters of sensible business, but we have bought cheap players who've gone on to be worth far more than we bought them for. The...

Re: Kalvin Philips On Loan
Sorry I'm not saying they're dead good, altho obviously they are, I just mean trying to follow what people are saying, oh we couldn't do business like the mighty Brighton they can afford to take risks etc I think basically what I was trying to convey was that us and Brighton are in very different p...

Re: Kalvin Philips On Loan
The most expensive player Brighton have bought since 2020 is Caicedo, for less than we bought Beto. We aren't capable, but not for that reason. I don't think people understood my point... Brighton make great decisions but also take gambles too, and they're a fairly decent proposition for a player l...

Re: Kalvin Philips On Loan
My concerns are Phillips is 28, would require an astronomical wage contribution and a decent loan fee, and he's very recently proven not to be Moyes-fit let alone Dyche-fit. In short, he fits the profile of who we were signing 5-6 years ago, which is what I hope we're moving away from. Would Bright...
