2 year deal for Turienzo.

[Black Country Seagull]

Yeah but he must be worth 6 figures, becuase liam brady recommended him to us, though he is not considered good enough for arsenal...hmmm

 

[king Wombat]

look at the official site for team news!



6 figure sum does not include decimal places..

 

[king Wombat]

that's 7 figures thicko

not on this planet it isn't.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

I was impressed with him at Lewes. He's strong, he can hold the ball up and he won a penalty through a combination of skillful ball control and guile.

Any player that we can afford comes with an element of risk. But I reckon McGhee has made a good move on this occasion.

Can't believe people are whinging about paying a transfer fee! MM's comment was that we don't know just how good he will be, an honest statement. The club are DELIGHTED to have signed Turienzo - they think the've found a bargain. He's a multi capped Argie under 20 international and played in the south american champions league !

MM is no mug, look how quick Sancho, Berthe and Jack where out the door.

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

Doom & Gloom ra ra ra ra

Im prepared to accept the providence of Brady & Boniek who were 2 of the worlds greatest ever players.

If they think he is class then im prepared to believe them.

We do not pay for players often but when we do we have tended to get our moneys worth.

 

[Silent Bob]

Did he not get the permit in time? Any ideas of who is playing?

Albion: (4-4-2) Sullivan, El-Abd, Elphick, Elphick, Lynch; Robinson, Carey, Fraser, Jarrett; McCammon, McPhee.

 

[O Lads]

that's 7 figures thicko

Well you see i can actually count and you obviously cant

 

[Brighton till i die]

f*** sake - how many of u lot are f***ing managers at this level - NONE!

so leave the f***ing signing to MM and just come along on Saturday and cheer the new boy!

raaaaaaaa

that wasn't the point - the point was that we have spent money on our strikeforce but seem reluctant to spend any money on our defence, and midfield which are in desperate need of strengthening.

It is possible that we will players to fill these positions but it looks like that we're trying to get freebies ie Ashby, Fish.

Albion: (4-4-2) Sullivan, El-Abd, Elphick, Elphick, Lynch; Robinson, Carey, Fraser, Jarrett; McCammon, McPhee.

Just wondering who is Fraser, is he from the youth team

 

[Ding Dong !]

Lets hope he's doesn't sink to quickly ( ala the Belgrano) to the depths of reserve team footy

 

[Ding Dong !]

f*** sake - how many of u lot are f***ing managers at this level - NONE!

raaaaaaaa

 

[London Calling]

Buy him a tin of corn beef, he'd be right at home then.

Brighton complete Turienzo deal
Brighton have signed Argentine striker Federico Turienzo on a two-year deal.
Turienzo, 22, moves to the Withdean for an undisclosed six-figure fee but is still awaiting international clearance before he can pull on a Brighton shirt.

Boss Mark McGhee said: "He is a bit of a gamble, but we've seen him play, we've seen him training, and we've seen a video of him and we're impressed."

Chairman Dick Knight added: "Federico comes with good credentials and on the recommendation of people we respect."

"He's an exciting prospect, but Albion fans should not expect too much too soon.

"The player has to settle into an entirely new culture, learn the language and get used to the pace and toughness of the English game.

"Coming from a country renound for producing thrilling attackers, he's an investment for the future and shows how far this club has come in recent years."

Turienzo added: "This is a wonderful challenge for me, I like the city, the people in the club and I look forward to repaying Brighton's faith in me by helping them to progress in the Championship."

 

[Wilka]

Who is the fee being paid to??

 

[Normandy seagull]

yes but a six figure fee- f***ing hell

 

[Normandy seagull]

at least molango WAS free

 

[Albion Dan]

Im sure youll find the 6 figure sum is his wages over the 2 years?

 

[Wilka]

Have to say i'm a bit shocked about the six figure fee sum!!!

Not exactly clear who is getting this fee?

Big gamble but I trust McGhee. Good luck to the lad, must be hard to come to a new country when you don't speak the langauge.
