Emotional rollercoaster here. 

Don't think I wanted a player this bad since Hazard.

This guy is still talking...

£33.6m for Badiashile is good value

[DDA 9,690]

Excellent value 👏 well done whoever sorts our transfers out these days!

Think I trust Ornstein much more than Fabrizio Romano, unfortunately. If the former says things with Enzo aren’t as far along as has been reported than I believe it. Fabrizio is basically a tap in merchant most of the time. He definitely calls things right and first sometimes but his sources mostly feel like they’re from outside of clubs. Whereas Ornstein has sources directly within clubs.

Still really hope we seal the deal. We almost certainly won’t have a better chance in the summer.

Romano was days late after first reports about Enzo. 

I'm not worried. We want to pay 130m in installments so don't see what is stopping us to just pay release clause in case Benfica is messing around.

Apparently the instalments are because we don’t want to mess up FFP but I figure we sell some deadwood we should be alright regardless

Installments are irrelevant for FFP, it's about the complete fee and the length of the contract

Enzo probably rethinking the move after today...

He’d be insane to come to us at this point, we have to be honest with ourselves. Could have his pick of clubs at the height of their power this coming summer.

With this level of extremely poor coaching, some players like Enzo might have a rethink about joining us. 

[MoroccanBlue 5,296]

You just have to hope we get it right with Nkunku and Enzo Fernandez as on paper they completely change our midfield. 

 

[Vegetable 830]

Just get the rest of Brighton here, what's a difference anyway…

He might still join - but I'm worried that he'll also just end up playing mediocre football.

[Blue Armour 4,278]

The fact that we got Aubameyang as top striker, a player much derided by his former team and manager, only to have him lose his first match against them, and then go on to see them leading the table by 7 points, with Aubemayang relegated to the bench - just shows the state we are in.

And that is the big problem. We need to make players realize their potential instead of killing off their talent with our style of play.
