    Least he’ll be in good shape when he's out injured after a few games.

    Righty ho, enjoy burning out by February with stupid injuries.

    I find it baffling football players don’t get to that sort of body fat % when they’re tearing through 5k extra calories a week over the average person.

    Aye, but there's also a fair chance that the Rupert Rigsby super computer has told them to sign Freddie Kreuger and he is actually going around shredding various overweight superstars?

    There was talk of some sort of link, but it died on the vine as I recall. A bit like that link up with Charleston Battery or whatever it was. I think both can be filed under the 'Hibs fannying about' phase.

    Then he signs a new contract and he is a hero

    Now Naismith is saying he is a bigger legend than John Robertson.

    All within less than 3 months 🤡
    That seriously can't be true. That's like Nick Montgomery saying Kukharevych is a bigger legend than Keith Wright

    Brighton have made a lot of money by finding cheap talent and selling them on at a huge profit. I think the problem will be attracting players to Scotland, the best talent will want to go to Brighton where there are higher wages, you will develop more as a player and be in Premier league shop window. Hearts will essentially get Brighton and USG rejects.
    Brighton's trading puts then in a net spend deficit of tens of millions of pounds. They've signed well, but it's a myth that they find cheap gold and turn a profit over and over.

    The amount of ***** getting spouted by the media about them at the moment is staggering. Yet to see a bad word spoken. Its quite embarrassing to read.

    It amazes me that more people don't understand this.

    In particular, journalists only looking at one side of the transfer balance sheet is embarrassing.

    There seems to be a collective memory lapse that Hearts were utter garbage last year and they’ve now sold their best player. Wow, 10 new players from lower leagues to add to the already bloated squad. Is there even room for them all amongst the students at the Heriot-Watt Sports Centre changing rooms?

    The analytics things is garbage and must be somewhat non existent at the level they are signing - yeah like there’s some guy sitting at Serie D matches amongst the 600 crowd taking note of all the players movements and tapping it in to Jamestown’s MacBook?

    How do they expect £9.8m to make a difference when the previous £55m of donations they spent disappeared quicker than a tin can submersible taking a trip over the Titanic. Tony Bloom is just the next in line has been conned by an old lady and a fat guy who looks like a potato.

    When it boils down to it, it gives them all down gorgie way a new thing to obsess about.

    It distracts from the reality of zero trophies since wee Ann took over, from the pissing away £50m donations, two relegations etc etc. a seriously bad underperformance on all levels.

    They can tell all and sundry the analytics is world leading and even when it fails massively they will likely have 1 or 2 examples that it’s just about work, give it a year or two or five…

    And the disrupt new buzz word can mean so much to many. It’s intended to mean a challenge / split the OF but they can redefine it when they (if the ever do) win a game against either of the OF. A flukey 1-0 end of season game can be “the proof they are disrupting Scottish football”.

    It’s all down to being the big team, ignoring the facts and the past. And nobody will tell them otherwise. Trully the oddest bunch of weirdos.

    They are a baw hair away from the hysteria around the time they all stated wearing Russian hats. Very weird fanbase.

    I believe we rejected Bloom because we were concerned that he would want full control within a certain amount of time.
    Which is why it was such a surprise to see him go with Hearts, other than to try and **** us.

    The Hearts fans I know all point to USG.

    As an aside, it is amazing how they all seem to be fans of these other clubs now.

    At one point I thought I was in a chat with USG supporters, peculiar.

    Agree with this, particularly given my last comment and their incessant chat about the other teams in the group.

    From we are the biggest and bestest fan owned club in the whole wide world to not winning a derby and bottom six, to never ever becoming part of a multi club group (they can kid themselves on but they really are) to selling out to Bloom at first opportunity and the never ending chat about JTA blah blah blah.

    They are still the media darlings with them lapping it up and as someone else has posted not one question about the £50 million plus splurged and two relegations to show for it.

    If you take the average of his body fat and Shankland's, it only comes to 35%.

    Yes, that is embarrassing.

    Tbh I am surprised at this, because the media narrative is that Brighton are very frugal and have traded their way to success.

    Turns out they are just fat on EPL cash.

    They will surely win it all this season, as no other team has a system that finds players that nobody else has spotted.

    They need to sign another 5 or 6 players first to hit the 40 mark.

    It was the same when Vlad owned them, Jambos getting obsessive about FC Kaunas reserves or whatever.

    Maybe this is why people pump money into Hearts? A ready made adoring crowd of windae lickers to puff up the ego.

    I am sure it will all end in tears, it is Hearts after all. It still has echoes of the Springfield mono-rail.

    I think he means that all the headlines are about how much money Brighton make from selling players, sometimes for enormously more than they paid for them, however fail to mention that their net transfer income since 2020 is around negative £100 million.

    That model can work in the EPL because you earn around £150 million a year in prize money.

    It doesn’t take a genius to work out that £2 million for coming 3rd in the SPL doesn’t subsidise the risk.

  31. #1950
    In their last accounts(23/24) Brighton had a net transfer deficit of £9million. Even £100million over 5 years is only a£20million a year average. And it must be working because their aggregate profit over the last 3 financial years is the highest in the EPL.It won’t work up here because obviously Scottish football can’t generate anything like that but if Hearts supporters can put up with a revolving door of players it should generate enough to make it worthwhile.
