| Artificial intelligence is one thing, real stupidity is something entirely different. Spending £20m on a keeper we do not need and no right back since AWB left is inexcusable.

| Apparently clubs in South America aren't so keen to do business with Br*ghton anymore as they are aware that they are picking their players up on the cheap and selling them on for a lot more. This was said by a World football expert on Talksport a month or two ago.

The club's continual neglect of the full back positions is baffling and infuriating. It's like we're stuck in 2005 when they weren't expected to contribute anything going forward God I miss prime PVA

 Simon Jordan? No, not this time. I think it’s the guy that lives in Brazil and normally on any tv or radio show when they need an expert on anything South American football.

If you mean Tim Vickery he has a good track record and talks a lot of sense. That said I think it pretty obvious that clubs will always try and get the best value. If Franca is a success no doubt we will find it harder to sign young South Americans. Edited by Badger11 (27 Oct 2023 1.22pm)

 Simon Jordan? He referred to a football expert, not failed football owner. Tim Vickery is who he meant.

 Due to Brighton more known I expect this will mean these clubs can hold out for a bit more or put in larger future clauses.
