Let’s hope you justify your £50m fee.

Quietly confident about this one. A modern ball playing center back who can pick out a pass, is quick, good in duels and has a penchant for driblling out of defence. 50 million for a player with only a season of PL experience seems like a lot but we may have got a quality CB for the next 5-6 years.

That I believe is what they call the other or shit side of the coin. :lol:

I wish the lad all the best but I'm fucking massively whelmed by his signing tbh.

Fingers crossed. :|

Who? :shock:

I'm as excited by this signing as the other two. At least they cost relative peanuts.

Won't lie, I had to google him when we were first linked. I know very little about him, as I've never watched a Brighton game without us playing in it, but I hope he kicks on to become a quality player for us.

Exactly...he will probably start well and gradually get dragged down to the level of the players around him

I just don’t understand what he has done to be valued at £50 million

1. He's Ingerlish

2. He's White

3. He looks a bit like grealish (accept he's not a greasy fop) and from what I hear he doesn't throw his arms about like a windmill when his team mates don't pass to him

:rubchin:

4. Oh! And he doesn't fall over as often as the greasy fop tantrum kid.


5. He almost played for Ingerland in the Euro's (There again he may have????)


6. Captain Black and and EduTheCockSucker like him.


there was a point 7 but it escapes me now. :goingtobed:

Yes good luck son. The "new" manager has had 80 games to work out his best centre half pairing and still decides who will play the next game by drawing lots, so may the luck be with you.

Gabriel & Holding
Mari & White

Who knows? Least of all Captain Black
