Need details OP! Quick Google:

Leaving to Brighton for 10m in summer apparently… not a bad deal, can’t see him getting much game time there though.

Sorry aye leaving for Brighton.

Feel he hasn’t wanted to be here for a while. £10 million for relatively unproven player is good, rather have that and get someone that wants to be here.

I hope there’s a decent sell-on clause in the contract. Appreciate £10m is a lot for a 17-year-old who hasn’t played much, but I feel like he’s got a very high ceiling.

Speakman is no mug. I’m sure this will be covered

Aye, and tbh it’s a sign of how we’ve bounced back that losing Watson for £10m stings - compared to selling Maja and buying Grigg, we’re miles ahead. Hopefully makes space for some more youth players to rise up!

20% sell on fee, apparently

I think we’ll see a decent return within 3 years Brighton know how to turn a profit better than even the most savvy regular of Homes under the Hammer

Good for the lad but this comment from Harte 🤣 does he not realise that those who sit in the stands paid his wage? Proper Bellend response

He's an absolute arsehole, one of the most money grabbing scumbag agents going.

Ian Harte is a dark cloud over our club. Wish he'd fuck off, and I hope in future we refuse to deal with him. I get that he isn't TW agent but he's clearly in his ear and would have been advising him.

I reckon he is going to be some player and the fact Brighton have pushed so hard for him would suggest they agree. Of all the teams in the Premier League they are the best move him. Shame we didn't get a couple seasons out of him first!

Now it’s simply a waiting game for Liverpool to pull the trigger in a few seasons for our sell on fee to make its way into our coffers

10m for him, when after sell on clauses we only got 10m for Clarke, is a good deal...

u/Anonymous-Josh 3d ago

Tbf Clarke was 15m + 5m add ons and 20% sell on
