'A strange signing' - fans on Vuskovic deal

[BBC] [Getty Images] We asked for your views on Brighton signing defender Luka Vuskovic for a club record £46m from Tottenham . Here are some of your comments: Penrith: Absolutely ridiculous price for untried 19-year-old who Roberto de Zerbi clearly does not rate. Better off going for John Stones on a free. Dawid: We sell arguably our best player to Tottenham for £52m and then pay them up to £50m for an untried and untested player who was not good enough to get into one of the leakiest defences in the Premier League last year. I hope our scouts have seen something which is certainly not obvious to me. Gez: I can't help feeling that we are paying over the odds when you see what Spurs paid for Jan Paul van Hecke. Fran: Seems a strange signing. We already have Diego Coppola and Olivier Boscagli and Pascal Struijk. At that price surely we are not looking to send him out on loan! Even at 19, he will be looking to play on a regular basis and if not why bother signing him? Hopefully not just to make up squad members. Bring in players with experience who will be ready to play. Martin: Effectively, a swap with Van Hecke plus £6m. One has never played in the Premier League, the other a proven quality Premier League performer. Feels like Spurs may have rinsed Brighton here but Brighton have a good track record of buying unproven talent, making them good and then selling them on for profit. Has worked well with other low-cost players but will be tough to do this when buying for £46m. Time will tell. James: Unproven although, we seem to be good at finding and developing gems. £50m shows that Brighton are finally looking to splash a bit of cash, and I think we've realised that in order to compete at the very top we need to invest.
