KDH Brighton

[dannythefox]

I honestly think he’s the sort of lad to say he doesn’t want to go at the minute. Please prove me right. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Seems very unlike Brighton to look at a player of this profile during this window that they know will set them back a few quid.

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.

Fair enough, but if that were the case the splurge over the Summer seems out of place with this rhetoric, so buggered if I know what to make of it.

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

Probably yep. Just like the last manager. Won't have told him yet though.

Brighton and Brentford lead chase for Dewsbury-Hall

Brighton and Brentford both want to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester before the deadline.

Sky Sports News understands formal negotiations are yet to begin and bids will have to be substantial for Leicester to let their star player go.

Leicester need to sell a player to be able to bring one in this month and stay in line with Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Selling a homegrown player from their academy would present a big profit margin but Dewsbury-Hall is currently a fundamental part of the Enzo Maresca's first-team.

Brighton do like like to buy cheap and then sell high to the top 4 clubs

[FrankieADZ]

real question is, who would KDH replace in that Brighton starting 11 atm, for me he would be on their bench

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

Might get more in the Summer

I have a theory on that - it was before Everton got done and top was angry.....

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 to a fan, because we understand how things go for us. But at a board level we have so much arrogance and ignorance.

But him going/gone in the summer was 'clickbait' according to some on here 😂

I'll donate £20 to a charity of your choosing if this happens.

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

 

 

Correct, which is why Bayern then ran out of time.

Could also mean the difference between promotion or not because if we are financially knackered we aren't going to be able to spend much if any of it on quality reliable replacements for what we get from KDH

 

Going up and getting a 10 point deduction is financially safer for the club than being stuck in the Championship for at least another season

Wasn’t long ago plenty on here wanted him dropped.

 

£35 mill and I’d snap their hands off.

 

We still have enough to get over the line this season and I think we’d need better to consolidate next season regardless imo

Exactly this. The amount of times people pile in and say he's not good enough. Its happens consistently. Now all of a sudden, he's irreplaceable. 

 

To some degree, i think a number of us have taken leave of our senses. I appreciate the energy, but KDH doesn't define this system. The wingers bring the energy and we actually need more technical players in the middle. KDH isn't good enough for us to be commanding 40mil + fees. He's not going to feature for England, and post PL teams (outside the dross in the bottom 3) have midfielders that will get picked over him.

[UniFox21]

I'm assuming the independent regulator talk for the Prem has kicked the league into gear regarding clubs breaking of FFP. 

And now they're trying to show they don't need regulating. 

 

And having seen how much they're hunting to fine clubs we're shitting the bed

I can see this happening

Potentially. You'd argue the same last season too but the club just sat there and watched.

But we are a club that decided the best course of action to avoid a potential FFP points deduction in the Prem (which could have given us some risk of relegation this season) was to just go ahead and get definitely relegated instead. This kind oif dumb decision is exactly the kind of thing senior management might do, given they learnt nothing at all last season and nobody in charge took any fallout for the complete and total failure of all (men's) footballing aspects of the club last season.

Totally different thing - they took a decision to abide by FFP rules (clever now when we see how everton have been punished) with the hope that they would still have enough to survive (which, on paper, was a reasonable assumption at th etime).  A KDH sale is about the idea of risking a payment to really strengthen our FFP position just to make a quick hit that will have a far more limited impact on FFP.

 

If they made that first decision to follow FFP, it would follow suit that they would go for the big boost rather than the minor

Torn between “this will never happen not even WE are that stupid” and “Ornstein doesn’t get things wrong”.

Why is it out of character or unlikely? Surely he’d have been happy to leave in the summer if a nice offer came in, he’s not going to be a martyr for Leicester City Football Club. 

for exactly the reasons that i suggested
