KDH Brighton

[dannythefox]

I’d rather keep him and not sign another player. If he leaves now through choice he’ll never be forgiven, Leicester lad flying in the league getting his team promoted (hopefully) he can leave when the jobs done. Silly to even start talks with another club.

He was gone to Fulham but the Paulhina deal fell through. 

 

Clickbait though hey, I mean it wasn't reported in any papers - was it?

 

People need to give their head a wobble. It was a domino affect. McAtee was our replacement. 

 

 

 

Not sure that makes sense Palhinha fell though because Fulham were unable to find a suitable replacement in time.

 

So if he was going to Fulham way would the Palhinha deal have fell though with 60m in the bank Fulham would have paid our asking price and had 20-30m spare.

 

Also I think there would have been more noise around KDH going Fulham at the time.

No, no, no. This is very bad news.

I've woken up. I'd quite like a buy-out by the super rich at this point. I'll sell my soul for it.

How much out of interest?

Ndidi reckons he's match fit in two weeks.

Enzo said that was rubbish so who knows!

[UniFox21]

The reports so far are Brighton and Brentford are interested; but no formal talks have taken place and there's a difference in price.

That's a lot to do in a few days

Well it wasn't just that though, as we couldn't get McAtee either

Not sure we don't sell KDH if we are in FFP true like some are saying because we couldn't get McAtee.

[ACF]

Two replacement options

 

1. Enzo has seen enough of Alves to push him in

2. Dennis taking us to the promised land and proving you all wrong 😤😤😤

Whens the last time Ornstein got a story wrong? He's the most reliable out there.

Isn’t it possible this is news fed from the Brighton side? We would listen, that’s not the same as accepting. The detail about him going to Fulham should Pahlinha have moved is a concern though will admit.

Enzo doesn't like talking about injuries or timeframes. Most of what he says in that regard is bullshit.

Even with Ndidi out until April? I'm not so sure.

It’s a risk, for sure.

 

But we have no money, been run into the ground by muppets over the last couple of years and for me 30+ mill for a player that I’m not convinced can cut it at the top table is a no brainer.

[ithuriel]

If this were to happen, I'd lose faith in the club and that's not hyperbole.

that’s not what happened though. Bayern simply ran out of time to do the deal. All was agreed but they didn’t get the medical done before their deadline. ( earlier cut off than the uks)

I'm oddly comfortable. Pure profit from the academy and if stays with us next season is never going to get a top tier fee, as he will get exposed again. His energy is his main asset, but he falls short on the ball and being horribly one footed always slows down attacks.

 

A while ago I said that i felt the wingers brought in the energy, and i would sooner have someone more technical and creative in the middle. I stand by that. The issue is getting that someone in.  Maybe they feel Akugun could cover this position with Sensi. 

 

I just thought i would be more worried than i am. Who will people whinge about in the matchday thread. I thought the majority of fans thought he was overrated anyway.

[coolhandfox]

Wouldn't be the first time a club have leaked their interest to unsettle a player.

Just as likely we leaked it to alert other clubs that he's available.

 

As cosbeh said the other week were in deep financial shit and need to sell in the summer regardless so maybe makes it better sense to sell now then leave it to a narrow 4 week window in June.

[Benji]

He’s the key man in this team. I really worry for us this season if he goes. Jesus what a nightmare this would be.

Have we sold Enzo a lie then? I can't imagine him wanting to take us on with such terminal financial constraints

The deal was all but done mate, they ran out of time because Fulham were messing around finding a replacement

I know, its a risk but I’ve seen enough of KDH in the Prem and imo we would have to upgrade if we wanted to progress.

 

£30 plus mill now with Yunus and possibly Sensi coming in and covering the positions I’d happily take…that is just me though

I don't think it would make better sense to sell now at all when a deal for KDH could massively derail chances of promotion

Not according to the Telegraph and Daily Mail both reported Fulham couldn't find a replacement.

Might get more money now though which could mean the difference between a 10 point deduction or not.
