Hendo Looks like Shane Duffy is off to Celtic, which will obviously cool any interest they had in Moore.

But might revive Brighton’s interest...

Possibly, but I did see that Ben White has signed a new 4 year deal with them, so if you take last year as a reference point, there is the Duffy replacement as he won't be going back to Leeds.

Wouldn't have thought so. They have Ben White there now and he has just signed a new deal, must have been some level of guaranteed football in that too. Ben White is going to be a much better defender than Liam Moore if he isn't already.

Ben White has signed a new deal at Brighton so maybe not.

Yes he has, I read it on the internet. Think it was mentioned on this thread but I can’t find it

I think he has and therefore, depending on who you ask, Brighton may or may not be interested in signing Liam Moore. Its quite the conundrum.

So what are you saying? Brighton may now not be after Moore because of the Ben White deal?

Well that is an interesting question you raise.

Firstly let's look at Brightons CB options now that Shane "Own Goal" Duffy has left.

Their main CB pairing last season was the English duo of Dunk and Webster, who were actually quite successful. Duffy featured quite frequently however and managed to not score any own goals (which is quite the feat).

With Duffy out and Ben White reportedly snubbing interest from Scumbag FC they appear to have a direct swap in terms of CB options, with many believing White to be a significant upgrade despite his lack of Premier League experience. This is mainly due to his superb form last season under Bielsa where he looked every bit a Premier League defender.

However that does only leave them with 3 CBs going into the new season. Is that a risk Potter is willing to take? Who knows. But one thing is for sure: The Barcelona of the South Coast could or could not be interested in signing Liam Moore to sit on their bench.

Dan Burn is there too, he is technically a CB.

I'll admit my research was essentially non existent. Thought he played LB for them quite often..

Yeah he did, think he would revert to CB if needed though. Think they have enough cover there to not want Liam Moore though, Brighton should be looking at strikers and wingers really.

I genuinely struggle to think of a club I care less about than Brighton. Maybe Hull? I dunno.

Anyway, I agree, unlikely to want Moore and even more unlikely to pay for him now.

Spot on-there is now way that they need Moore.
BTW Dan Burn must surely be the tallest player ever to play at full-back?

kwik-silva There's some photos up on the OS.

Looks like Olise, Swift, Rino and Laurent all started. As did Araruna!

Laurent must be asking himself what the oxf*rd he has got himself in to.

Why would he care? He has been given a massive pay rise to play Championship football, he probably couldn't give a toss.

Think a lot is made of players being affected by changes in management/ownership. As long as they get paid they do not give a toss, management changes are part and parcel of modern day football.

Players are humans. If i started a new job only to see the boss who recruited me get sacked without being at fault 2 weeks later, I'd definitely be questioning my decision. But then we've been a basket case for a couple of years now and football is an unstable industry.

You've kinda said it there, the only thing a player can be fairly sure off when signing for a club is that there is a big chance that the guy who signed you will likely eave it before you do.
