Looks like we've walked away from Minteh. 80 million is crazy.

That's what you get for starting negotiations with Barber and Bloom at the end of the transfer window.
{Ed0666's Note - what you mean proffesionals?

Well, Brighton don't need to sell so they set the price.

Barber and Bloom know their stuff, so a couple of things come to mind.
If Minteh was as crap as lots of people think, they would have happily sold him to us by now for the £60-70m we bid, and secondly, if they are happy to keep him, his injury can't be a concern.

Well, we've effed around and found out. Slow handclaps for all concerned. Well done, lads. Sterling stuff.

Brighton did us a great favour. He's average.

He may go off the boil, Ala Baleba, and we get him next season.
{Ed0666's Note - then why would we want him if he’s not playing well?
