He’s put a very classy post on socials. 
 

Half get the feeling he didn’t want to leave. 

 

[Wes]

Makes sense as I’m not sure why he would want to leave the club he supports for another club competing in the same league. Not like it’s a Prem move. Unless he’s been promised a first team place.

[UniFox21]

Great to see the football finances expert know very little about football 

 

[Skidmark]

Press took place last night. 

 

Mad how quick this took place. 

[HankMarvin]

12m over 3 years 

Tight ****ers

[grth2004]

Very sad to see him go , he always looked like he cared more than most and scored a few great goals. 
Cements the theory we’re in a massive financial mess if we’re still selling kids with potential, but we got a decent price to be fair.

Good luck to him. Could never really accuse him of being a shirker like I can the majority. But he isn't very good and I think we've robbed Ipswich here.

£8m was rejected from Sunderland, Ipswich probably paid more to make the deal in installments 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Not the most talented player but he always gave everything and genuinely loved the club. Great deal but gutted he has left as he really was a credit to our club. 

When I did my run for prostate cancer at the training ground a couple of seasons ago, Kasey was recovering from injury and was doing some work with the medical team and Yunus and on one of my laps he stopped and gave me a round of applause and some lovely encouragement. 
 

I will never forget that, he is an absolute legend of a lad and a genuine one of our own. I genuinely wish him the very best and hope he goes on to have a great career because he is one of life’s good ones 🦊💙

If we'd got 4m for him we were robbing them so this is like selling him 3 times over.

 

Looking through this thread and the socials its today that a lot of footsoldiers have started to doubt their King Power generals.

Basically a small club over reaching, sooner or later handing out long deals to lower fee and book price  was only going to end one way.
With an astronomically high wage bill with players no one wants because they are over paid.

But how can a small club become bigger and reach those heights anymore under this PSR nonsense. Punishment for any club daring to challenge the cartel.

[majaco]

He wore the shirt with pride. Best wishes to him

Was never first choice.  If we had paid 12 million for him, I would have questioned Rudkin's judgement

They cannot anymore there will never be another surprise like Leicester. Masters the puppet having his strings pulled has ensured that. Slowly the penny is dropping but do the non big six owners have the backbone to get together and vote out PSR I strongly doubt it. The game needs a hero to make a formal complaint to the competition authorities. The current rules are anti competitive.i fear though no one has the balls.

Imagine being in a position where you have to sell all our decent prospects to balance out having to keep all over the overpriced deadwood on stupid contracts that nobody else wants. What a way to run a club. Zero building for the future 

Agree. He was a decent prospect. I'm disappointed he's gone, and the amount is peanuts these days. Backward step.

[Mike Oxlong]

Good luck to him 

 

Hope he does well 

[UniFox21]

Still slightly shocked we let him leave. 

Marti seemed to favour him, so I'm shocked he signed this off

The idea is that it’s done slowly overtime, capacity grows, the commercial side grows etc

Obviously good scouting and turnover speeds things up but as we have seen it’s not sustainable. 

Brighton have played the market very well, how long will it last? They have been very fortunate to be a Chelsea feeder club.

[jayfox26]

His unveiling interview with Ipswich he says as soon as he heard Ipswich were interested it was a no brainer for him. 

 

I know players have to sound enthusiastic when they join a new club but nobody is buying that shit 🤣.

 

JR: Kasey, Ipswich want you.

KM: Nah I'm good cheers 

JR: you ain't got a choice pal.

The idea is a wrong 'un. As soon as a club has a top player, or group of players, for any length of time they get moved to cartel clubs. Had we just missed out in 2016 then we wouldn't have had a second chance in following seasons. It's just not possible to do it slowly.

[ParkerPen]

In principle this is a great deal for us. 

 

Good money for a decent but no better playerm

 

The reality is one less player that gives a toss, whilst the squad contains so much dog shit lazy fckers that we can't convince anyone to take off our hands, for reasons that are blindingly obvious.

To challenge for Europe and Champions league places.

I didn’t mean challenge for the title. 

Look how much money is being spent by the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea this year, look at the richest club in the world struggling to keep hold of their players. 

I used Brighton as an example of a club progressing and growing, but how long will it last.
