Our transfer team failed to do their work by allowing Brighton to buy both Alexis Mac Allister and Caicedo. Buying now from Brighton, Brighton will at least double their money.
ahem.
7mil to 70 mil = 10 X (macallister
4mil to 85mil = 20X (Caicedo)
one was playing for a club at the bottom of the league in Argentina as a 20 year old and the other played less than 40 games for his club when brighton bought him.
This is pure gambling and sometimes it pays off.
Same as mahrez and kante for leicester. a few times these guys get it right and a lot of the time they don't.
Its that simple. making out brighton as miracle workers here is plain wrong. they have taken the punt on many players. some work some don't. They farm out the experience and sometimes you never hear form the guy again.
Brighton have this partnership now but there's no assurance they will replace it just like that.
