I can’t see Brighton selling Bissouma. He’s too good and too important a player to lose at this stage of the window.

Player dumps Tottenham chance after hearing their proposal - Spurs 'ruled out' - Sport Witness
First, let’s have a little recap: Sunday morning saw reports from both Mundo Deportivo and Sport insisting that Tottenham and Barcelona are close to agreeing a deal for Ilaix Moriba. The transfer would be worth around €15m plus bonuses, and the remaining issue for Spurs was agreeing a deal with...sportwitness.co.uk
Sport say Moriba has ‘ruled out’ the London club, having listened to their financial and sporting proposal. He believes he’d been guaranteed minutes at Leipzig and would also get to play Champions League football.
I don't believe in guaranteeing minutes, if you're good enough you get a place, if you are not then you won't.
They've already got someone in mind if he does leaveI can’t see Brighton selling Bissouma. He’s too good and too important a player to lose at this stage of the window.
What? Can't quite followTheSpurEst - "Decent" is hardly epic praise..... Hardly worth backtracking to blow retrospective kisses a day after you and I had the original conversation.
Didn't work with Njie or Nkoudou........or Stambouli, CapoueBrighton got Bissouma from Lille originally, now he's worth a fortune.
Why not just cut out the middleman and sign a midfielder from Lille? We don't always have to go for the familiar names.
What? Can't quite follow
Anyway, my point is that CV was not even close to the standard we would need. Technically awful and did not do enough. Just pointing out stats that includes games against 8th league level + Bulgarian league teams will be misleading. He was not nearly good enough to give some real rest for Kane.
And I understand you have different point of view,and I can respect that. I just felt that plainly pointing out number of goals without considering opposition quality was misleading, hence I clicked "disagree".
None of those came from Lille.
Yeah but not all Lille players leave and go on to be successful elsewhere.None of those came from Lille.
And if anything that just shows how poor we've been with our scouting and development, rather than it being a fault with French players.
What confused me was that I don't remember arguing over him recently (might it be you are mistaken me for someone?)I know we; already chatted this out yesterday... Just weird you'd go back and start hitting the disagree button on that post a day later.......
Not a bit deal at the end of the day..... I'll add it to my collection.![]()
This won't happenThe mirror isn’t always bad. When we where buying Ndombele, Lo Celso and Sess they said they where our targets I believe weeks before others put the name out there.
