Yep surprised we weren't all over that

Shfwf can’t even get a Wycombe striker

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I can believe though that nobody wants MVE at a price Doug is happy with, which in turn means he’s now willing to accept a piss take offer for Rudoni.

you can believe that load of nonsense if you want

 

[ClarkeZ]

We aren't going to sign Rudoni's replacement for £10m-£30m. Itwill be likely £5m or less.

The question wasn't trying to trip you up and be a dick, I'm actually interested in your view.

But in response to that, we want £20-30mil for Rudoni, and you'd be happy spending <£5m on a replacement?

Or the other discussion that creates is, lets say we spend £4m on Rudi², the sale falls through and we now dont have that money to strengthen in another position needing cover/improvement. Many would see that as naïve too.
Without spending huge to cover all bases and hope the Rudi deal doesn't fall through, you're going to leave gaps somewhere.

Personally, as much as i'd love to see a spending spree, I dont think we have the spending power to do that without selling. And I dont want to be the next team to fail and risk ending up in L1 or admin again because it went wrong.

How does that work?

DK has earmarked £12m for MVE, £15m for Rudoni

Nobody offers £12m for MVE, therefore we accept £15m for Rudoni for cashflow.

maybe he's no good?

Where's that come from? Out of interest?

£15m is obviously far less than what Rudoni should be worth though. And there should definitely be more than £3m difference between the two.

Im just explaining what Brighton is trying to get at.

How does that work?

You bank on one player leaving for a given amount and carry out some spending accordingly. The deal then falls through or happens at a smaller price than planned, so when an unexpected offer comes in for someone else, you’re willing to take a lower fee than you otherwise would for them.

So surely he's sticking to his valuations for both? A "piss take" offer would be if it was a panic sale for £5m or something on the last day.

anything £15m or below would be a bit of a pisstake

If anything I'd say the opposite. We know the value of our best players and no-one leaves until those valuations are met.

Fucking hell

We do, but if we had strong reasons to believe MVE was off and had spent money accordingly, if the deal then fell through we’d have a shortfall or at least a cash flow problem.

I don't sense that's the case. We were bidding £8mn for a centre half last week

we hardly likely to undervalue Rudoni if we won't sell the right back whose replacement we have brought already

if we needed to sell as we've brought kkh then mve would be the one we'd sell

 

[edgy]

Yeah we aren't spending money we haven't already got in the bank.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Again, perhaps on the assumption that Rudoni is indeed off. And perhaps he was somewhere in the Southampton area when he had a ‘knock’ for the pre season game…

I understand what you're suggesting, but I dont think the club is being run that close to the edge.

If we didnt have the money to bring in KKH already, I can't see DK spending it. Yes he may well have done that assuming MvE was going, but our financial pattern since he took over makes me struggle to believe he'd put himself in the position to take cut prices on others because his gamble didnt pay off.

MvE might be the perfect example of why buying first isnt always perfect. If MvE plays as many minutes for us this season as last, we'll spend the next 9 months talking about where else that money could have been spent. Same would go for Rudi².

given people met him in the lounge during the game that is bollocks

he was at the pre season game? And then he played against hull and last night?


I really don’t get what you are saying

he's on a wum or he has reverted back to the bedwetter in chief

A tongue in cheek comment that second one.

it really wasn't

so far our only outgoings are the loan fee for Rushworth and somewhere around 3.5m for kkh

we could sell mve today and more than cover this

It’s just speculation of course, but most clubs at our level run multi million pound losses each season and borrow to spend what they haven’t got. Ours isn’t much different and if we assume that a sale is going to happen which either doesn’t materialise or is less than planned, it puts pressure on to either borrow, get investment or sell someone else.

Fair, if he can continue to do so.
