The Fish 11641 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Tell you what, if we can get a Burn, Bakker, and a striker, this has been an excellent window. If it's just (just) Trippier, Wood and Guimaraes then it's still a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 12-15m for a just turned 29 year old premier league proven centre back is probably fair enough in today's prices. In fairness he is in one of the best defences in the league. He doesn't seem to make many mistakes, which is a vast improvement over some of our defenders who seem to be auditioning for a Chuckle Brothers revival. Although I suppose it has to be said that if Brighton didn't have players like Bissouma in midfield, Burn and the rest of the Brighton defence would be under a lot more pressure.
