I'd be really surprised tbh. Seems like a level headed professional, wanted to move to progress his career, if that doesn't happen now it's still in his best interest to perform at the best level he can, for both himself and for us.

i don't think so - he's still young and still good. If he plays better this season he will move to a bigger (sorry didn't mean bigger as that's not possible) better club than Brighton...

the whole timing of the request seemed poor. Just before the last friendly of the season, and when Brighton's interest had from the outside looked like it had cooled.

I'm sure he'd get over it pretty quickly if it doesn't happen and not sulk. He is after all on a long contract and knows the club were well within their rights to refuse offers for him

His agent no doubt told him if he handed in a request, Brighton would think they could probably get the upper hand in negotiations. Unsettled player+headache for current club= stronger position for Brighton?

That's my thinking anyway.

On that front, the agent presumably cuts a tidy fee when he negotiates a four year deal extension between his client and the club. Does he then forego part/all of that fee if he then negotiates a move away mid contract?

How could he if it was already theoretically paid? As I assume that agents are paid when the contract is signed rather than when it is due to run out.

Either way would pale in comparison to his percentage from a £10m+ transfer fee to Brighton.

Brighton on the verge of signing Dan Burn from Wigan.

Think we might be in the clear *knocks on wood*

Why would you not want a huge chunk of money for a player who doesn't want to be here? We can replace him with a very cheap and capable loan signing in Hause and invest that money in the midfield where we desperately need improvement.

And I get the feeling Brighton no longer want to pay it.

I'm all for Hause, the idea of Moore, Ilori and Hause as a back 3 (or 3 of the 2 in a back 4) makes me slightly more excited than it should do.

But it'd be at the expense of McShane rather than Moore

Clubs need to offer that chunk of money first. We can't sell him if noone meets our asking price, and I respect the club for not bending over and taking less money.

And if he stays, I presume he'll want to work his arse off until January which can only be good for us.

There's no way I'm shopping in there again 'til he's gone. The dirty rat.

Did he specifically go to his boss and state that he wanted to leave / no longer wanted to be there? - and in the process rule himself out of working for his current employer until the situation was revolved? Leaving his team worse off?

Behave.

If he does end up staying, it'll be a for another window or so at best. What's the point in planning for a future with him?

Him wanting to go to the premier league isn’t quite the same as him not wanting to play for us.

Exactly and he has aspirations, ambition and wants to play the best football he can

what's the 'hungry' cut off line? is he too old for that description now?

I don't think there is a cut off line

Even towards his retirement he can still be "hungry" to play or to do as best as he can. It doesn't mean just going up or to a better league, it's just playing to your best

not so sure. I feel 22 is the hungry cut off. below that and everyone is hungry, above and only some are depending on the circumstance.

Think you're getting muddled up with potential..
