The dugout28 Jun 2027

Mateus Fernandes says Brighton went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market28 Jun 2027

Maxim De Cuyper hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Brighton can pretend not to have heard.

Market28 Jun 2027

Brighton turn down Blackpool for Adam Webster

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Babis Kostoulas is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market28 Jun 2027

Harry Mills moves on

Colchester United pay $660.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Door shut on Keisuke Osako

Brighton asked and Brentford said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Ibrahim Osman in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Brighton this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

Jack Hinshelwood gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market28 Jun 2027

Costinha told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Costinha has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Brighton.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market28 Jun 2027

Dionicio Escalante asks to leave Colchester United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Ben Perry is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market28 Jun 2027

Colchester United sign Harry Mills for $660.0K

The paperwork is done: Harry Mills joins from Brighton in a deal worth $660.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad28 Jun 2027

A falling-out at Colchester United

Alberto Lunghi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces28 Jun 2027

The town asked, and Colchester United paid $660.0K

Harry Mills was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $660.0K. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2027

Door shut on Joel Latibeaudiere

Colchester United asked and Coventry City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

No hiding place for Ben Perry

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ben Perry, and the manager let it.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2027

A loan move for Kaine Kesler Hayden is in the works

Colchester United have made the call to Coventry City. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Chamsedin Kouranfal falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Brighton rebuffed over Taiwo Awoniyi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Coventry City have kept their man, and Brighton go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market14 Jun 2027

Brighton say no — this time

The offer from Charlton Athletic for James Beadle was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad14 Jun 2027

The step up is real for Stefanos Tzimas

At 21 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Market14 Jun 2027

Pascal Groß wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Brighton hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Boardroom14 Jun 2027

Brighton go back to the board over Julio Enciso

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $73.1M — a club that wants Julio Enciso enough to be asked twice.

Boardroom14 Jun 2027

Harry Mills signs for Salford City while still at Brighton

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Harry Mills has agreed terms with Salford City for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Stefanos Tzimas in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Brighton this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Jun 2027

8 Brighton players away with their countries

The training ground goes quiet for a fortnight. 8 men have gone off to be somebody else’s players, and the manager is left with the ones nobody has called.

Market14 Jun 2027

Adam Webster attracts admirers

The name of Adam Webster has come up in conversations Brighton were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
