I don't know what Van Hecke will do.
I do know that he will go where he wants regardless of who is prepared to offer Brighton most.

More than obvious why he wants to bring in Van Hecke alongside Senesi, he wants us playing out from the back consistently
Building up is the weakest part of Vuskovic's game, I don't understand why people are adamant he's the finished article now, physically he's ready but technically there are still holes.
People are crying for no reason.
I originally didn't like the idea of loaning him out again but the more I think about it it makes complete sense. I guess the idea is he can come back next year a more polished player and I'd imagine we'd have European football as well so many more mins to go around.
Probably going to be the best centre back of all-time.
And yet De Zerbi, might not want to unleash
that wonder talent on the PL.
I'll let the manager know.
There is not much worse than just seeing whatever one wants and failing to consider other factors. Really blinds conversation unless it is stacked with comprehensive and compelling evidence.
No.
Vuskovic is a special type of talent, it's not comparable to Gray/Bergvall and theres now a clear opening for him.
Problem is, we are not in a position of strength
We clearly can’t pay through the nose for players
But we almost certainly need plenty in certain areas of the pitch, and clubs know this
But we can’t go again with the same squad , and expect different results
Well, we will know for sure over the next month or so.
Can you translate this to English now? Or was this meant to be humerous?

What are your expectations of the window after we sign Van Hecke for 50m? What do you realistically think we will do?
There's something else about Van Henke deal that bares considering( Im not sold on him by the way Id be offering the money for Lacroix at Palace) The optics matter... we NEED to restore credibility after the Eze MGW humiliation. We need respect from officials other clubs and media, we can not afford another public blow out. So now we pay the money get it done its become about more than a centerback.
Better than Martnielli, Madueke, Trossard and (imo) Odogard..... Eze too as I think about it.
He'd waltz into their 1st XI.
Absolutely and it's simply to negotiate a compromise fee.
Brighton aren't stupid and neither are we........ well, maybe bot too stupid.
The concern is if it's open for other clubs to step in but Van Hecke can hold firm and say he wants to join us. As Rice did with that lot, despite the City bid. And there are realistically only 1 or 2 clubs who might seek to nip in ahead of us.
You would think it's just a matter of time, and very obvious that De Zerbi, for all his attacking preference, wants better defenders in place.
Sure but if he’s happy to go to more than one club, then the one paying the most will probably get him
ok, so you think he’s a special type of talent and ready for the PL, fair enough. What if De Zerbi doesn’t agree and would prefer he spent another season on loan?
Eze would be the warning sign tbh. Hardly played last year

I don’t disagree however I have watched Vuskovic in the German league a few times with Hamburger due to us owning him. He seems very good and calm on the ball but Hamburger do not play like Bournemouth or Brighton, they seem like a very counter attacking side lower in the league type team. He didn’t look particularly quick but his passing and ability to retain the ball under pressure looked really good. He certainly did not show any technical weakness when I watched him, looked more composed than Danso for example. His speed was the only thing you could really note as an issue but Van Hecke and Senesi look about as quick but we have Van De Ven anyway. I do accept though that De Zerbi wants a ready made squad it appears for next season and Van Hecke is as ready as they come.
That's because FCB were his dream move and he wanted a perm deal this summer......
However; his track record proves that if he's not invested then his performances will drop off massively......
People have forgotten he bunked off training so he could go clubbing whilst Ten Hag was in charge and Amorim also banished him to Villa on loan cos his attitude stank despite him (on paper) being a perfect player for his 352/343 system.

Thought you would say that.
Do you not think its telling that barca decided to pay out on Gordon rather than tried and tested Rashford? I dont dislike him but i think he will end up being a problem 8n a season or so if we do sign him. His last year and a bit at man u was painful, not chasing anything, this was the club he loved.
