Looking at his previous club's stats. suggests we have been good for him. Brighton must think he is worth a fee. Maybe 1/2 million with sell-on clauses?
Sadly, we have a watered down version of these charlatans. Look at what they did to us. Their big league dreams seem to be looking easier but here again the fans were the one that suffered. Never forget.
