    A know when you got a good player then you could enjoy him for a few seasons, fair play to oriley stayed nearly season s, but a lot of the time guy Like juranovic, giakoumakis, 7 or 8. Good games and there desperate for a move sadly just a stepping stone

    Aye they’re full of * but once the media have it in their head it’s 25 that’s what will be reported even if add ons take it up to 28.

    If Matty does leave then nothing less than the return of Jota will ease my pain. Peter you have been warned.

    20m Euro and 50% of it to MK Dons...I could write their headlines for them.

    How amazing would it be to be in Matt's position, and be able to come out with a big I'm not * leaving type Dembele announcement. What a buzz that'd be man.

    Think someone mentioned Jota basically cannae leave Saudi. He would be hit with a monumental tax bill or something. Would be a dream to have him back.

    Would that be the same as completing your contract then?

    Hes been a great player especially last season losing him is pretty gutting,but the 22/3 season when we won the treble, the mainstay midfield was usually mooy, hatate mcgregor with oriley coming off the bench, big big loss but not irreplaceable

    I think that was purely down to the fact Ange couldn't get the best out of O'Riley, he was still good that season but I don't think he fully suited Angeball.

    He is 1000% suited to the way Brendan plays, down to a tee, it's his ideal midfielder. He's going to be near impossible to replace.

    Not sure. Someone mentioned a 2year time span he has to stay there.

    Interesting. Never thought about this, but does that go for all loan deals across the world?

    Thinking of he is tax free in Saudi, but works in the UK, what tax does he then pay?
    Same as in France, it's 50% tax for over a certain level or something (remembering back to something I read when Beckham went to PSG).

    The tax is paid for where you physically work, not where your employer is - I believe that's standard for any industry. So even if I'm employed by a USA company that works in the UK, I pay UK/Scottish tax.

    Same for a footballer then? And would that dictate do you think on (other) players agreeing to loan deals or not elsewhere.
    I get some players ask for higher wages when they go to some countries to counter the tax of course.

    Yes, Brighton might be breaking the Scottish transfer record by a million pounds but that record for KT was broken years ago and, as we all know, prices have rockets by almost 50% so we should be looking for a helluva lot more than the reported £25 million

    We'll get far more for O'Riley than KT though..

    A mill more with bonuses and or a sell on as he won't be at Brighton forever..

    Good stepping stone move..

    Hopefully we get Engels and possibly McCowan in straight away and use the funds to get left back, left centre half and the wing sorted..

    Or look to Brighton to see what kinda top talent we can swing in the mix..
