Couple of twitter football accounts reporting that we have tabled a €30m bid for Lazio CH Luiz Felipe. Could be bullshit of course, but who knows?

Doesn't say much for Brighton in the transfer market if they don't feel they could have strengthened their team by signing someone using the money received for a player who has never played for them.

Brighton young CB Leo Ostigard sent to Coventry on loan

Never played for their first team, sounds familiar

Ben White about to sign an improved contract for Brighton

And Just had Tim Rich on Talk Sport talking about his book - The Quality of Madness - A Marcelo Bielsa Biography. Has that been mentioned here before ?

Germany vs Spain next week in the UEFA Nations League and it's likely that both Rodrigo and Koch will play at some point during the game so at least they might meet before training at Wetherby :lol:

No concern of ours Brighton. Far better value available but I suppose they have to bare in mind the homegrown player requirements.

Yes, I am about halfway though. ( He has just helped Chile to the WC with a 4-2 away win against Columbia)

Very insightful book.

I’ve said before that Hove and Brighton Wanderers (or whatever they’re name is) are cutting off their nose to spite their face. Feel quite sorry for Ben and I do hope their ridiculous stance comes back to bite them.

If Bielsa wants Kent then that’s alright with me but it’s a shame we didn’t pick him up last year for less than half the price!
Always felt the club would sell more shirts if they offered a sponsor free version to the fans

Last shirt I got was the one without the sponsor logo from 4 seasons ago. Liked it so much got long and short sleeves. Quite like the new one apart from the sponsor logo.

Although the first shirt I got was the one with Topman sponsor logo on and I actually went into the Topman shop so I could get a shirt with the logo on as you could only get it with the logo on from the topman shop. Fans shirts with sponsors was a novelty in them days!

I think a lot of fans, me included, would prefer shirts without sponsorship logos if they were available. Unfortunately, it would go against the terms of the sponsorship deal so it will probably never happen.
