    Was filmed weeks ago so means nothing either way.
    Would still be surprised if any of them moved on, the replacement for either would have to be a big signing both financially and quality, not sure that would be our priority.
    Agree, would be a surprise but we shall see.  The club still need to move on a few players.

    As ever the last few days of the window will be the busiest.
    Yes, nothing guarenteed.

    JRS holds the cards here ,if he has his heart set on us doesnt matter what other clubs offer if he dont want to go there, we must be favourites to sign him,i reckon an initial 2.5m will seal it 
    2.5m Would be good if we were to flip-per him on!

    I won't be surprised if Palace try to include Mbick in any deal for JRS.  
    Give it 6 months and Mbick will be worth more than JRS (if JRS doesn't move this window)
    Hence why Palace might be interested in including Mbick. 
    I really hope Mbick isn’t part of any deal for JRS. I have a feeling we’ll see more of him this season than many think and by next summer could be worth two or three times JRS’s value.

    Considering Brighton offered 5m for him, there's no deal that includes Mbick that we should be taking.
    Except that was pre-injury. None of us know how much that may have affected him

    I'm not advocating selling him, or being part of a deal for JRS, but the club and medical staff will know better than us if there's been any serious decline in his physical abilities.

    Even if there has been a measurable decrease in Mbick’s stats that doesn’t mean it’s permanent. He’s coming back from a bad injury so there’s almost certainly a measurable decrease at this point.

    Have you ever bought an official club calendar

    If Mbick was part of the JRS deal, it would need to be cash and JRS for Mbick, and we all know that isn't happening

    An interesting question - how many youth players would Brighton have to poach before you’d prefer us to sell Mbick to Palace/Millwall?

    They’ve taken Beadle and Ezenwata so far, plus they signed Sarmiento from Benfica who poached him from us, just to add to the frustration of what might have been.

    In a year or 18 months that could easily be the case right now I don’t even think it’s a consideration.

    Me and the boy just walking the dog over Avery Hill Park wandered down past the training ground and Okonkwo was in goal in a practice match 
    Nice work, sounds like we are just waiting for the right time to announce. Probably tomorrow? And he starts on Sat

    If I was a new keeper be making sure I don’t play away to WHU or Spurs …

    Whereas an actual professional could relish playing for and helping out his new team and the challenge.

    Surely they are the games any good pro would want to play in?

    As a Sussex local I'm at my limit. There's enough talent in Sussex that they don't need to be signing the likes of Ezenwata and Mbick.

    Sure it wasn't Mannion?

    Have a like! This is the sort of high quality rumour we've been lacking for a couple of days.

    Surely you can’t be a goalkeeper as well as a manager, coach, lawyer, solicitor and finance manager?
  • I still don't believe we've got 4-5 million to spend on JRS, but if we do somehow manage to sign him & Okonkwo, I genuinely believe we could push for Top half
