    Needs to be done quickly if we are to actually replace him.

    I'd imagine matt will have been told , we're not accepting any bids under a certain value, after that it's up to him if he wants to accept.

    Have a feeling this will be accepted. Surely they know what Atalanta offered and what we were asking and our stance on it.

    We need to be ready to execute multiple deals within days now. My problem is wondering if our board can even work on multiple deals at once.

    Selling Oriley for 25-30m needs to be responded with 20-30m reinvestment back in the team. We cannot be finishing this window with net income from transfers.

    The feeling I get from ORiley is he wants to go, and if that is the case, then we should in no way try to stop him.

    Have to agree.

    Brighton is a great step for him tbh. They tick a lot of boxes for his next career move. He's headed to one of the top teams imo.

    We need to up our recruitment now.

    It’s not as attractive as Atalanta, Inter or Ateltico. That was my point really. Brighton can’t offer European football. So I’m not saying that Brighton are totally unattractive, but when you compare them to the teams I’ve mentioned, it’s a bit of a let down from O’Riley’s point of view I’d say.

    Agree. Reckon that’s why there was all that noise this week about the exact fee+ add ons we wanted

    Why would selling MoR speed up recruitment? The money has always been there. Yeah it's possible we had a replacement lined up. Time is running out

    Well if ORiley goes to Brighton as looks likely, it is going to inject a sense of urgency into proceedings.
    No doubt about that. I would expect things to fall into place like dominoes from now on.
