Luka Vuskovic

I would find this a bit odd from Vuskovic’s PoV. We signed him, we waited for him to arrive, we found him a good loan. At the same time, he did really well while we as a club did really badly.

How can promises possibly have been broken seriously at this point?

I think the way Vuskovic or his team are handling things to be a bit strange to be honest. They’ve clearly let it be known he’d be very happy to go to Brighton. But why is there not more of a ‘I’ll have a PL loan and then crush it at Spurs after that’ view?

What promises can we make to a player we have effectively only had for one year

Equally he has done absolutely everything you would want from a youth prospect and their loan deals. There should be a plan in place. Otherwise.....again.....whats the point..

As for the earlier claim about the Bundesliga and its quality, I agree to an extent, but if you dont want to be put into a position where you think the standards not helpful, then dont send him there, but let's be frank, he went at 18 and absolutely excelled regardless, so he is a product of the clubs decisions still, they have to be accountable for those decisions, his accountability was to go and do well, and he did that and some.

Maybe its the profit they are after? Its only double what we paid but if these lot in charge are really not football people, then a quick £15m profit might be something they find interesting.

Maybe so, I am leaning towards a mindset that this is asset juggling if it happens.....again not thinking it will, but who the fcuk knows with our club

Because Brighton are ultimately a stepping stone selling club, yes, they bargain hard and demand big fees, but in two or three years time, they would sell him to a truly elite club, whereas if he develops as we all hope, we won’t sell unless there is the proverbial gun to the club’s head.

I’d like to think that these people at the club have a bit of common sense. They know the fan base have high hopes, they know he is sought after and they know he has had 2 good loans, surely they are not that stupid are they?

Absolutely, but there has to be a plan for youth integration otherwise it makes a mockery of the time and money we are investing in youth and scouting

Totally agree, and we should be doing everything we can to keep him and keep him happy.
Not however at the cost of another poor season by playing a youth player.
He has youth on his side, we can't afford another bottom half finish lol
 
I think it's just how Brighton updates its moneyball algorithms. The stats are out there so it's a question of putting a value to it.

We can't but we can be brave and do both, if Brighton want him, history should tell us that we should keep him
