[Albion] Alejandro Gomes Rodriquez

[pigmanovich]

He has one less year on his contract at this stage (1 rather than 2). That is far more relevant to his value than what division they are in.

That, and he's a year older, to point out the obvious!

Fair point . . . let's make a cheeky bid then.

He has already trained with Chelsea at academy level (as they all do) and for whatever reason is still with the scummers.

No. When we signed the last one (Kamari Doyle), my Saints mates were all "take him, he's not all that. Alejandro Gomes is the good one".

There was an Athletic article last month which described him as "among the best strikers in the country for his age".

[Mr Bridger]

If he's that good, they won't bother waiting for us this time. They'll just offer him £75,000 per week and cut out the middleman.

Has a ring to it.. Brighton and Hove Middlemen

It's not all bad, Saints fans: Lallana's turned up for training and he doesn't appear to be on crutches

You know full well he's walking straight to medical.

And in the time it took the light to go from him to the camera lens for that photo, he earned 3 quid

If the hype is to be believed he is head and shoulders above all the other strikers in his age group.

Possibly partially because he is very physically developed for his age group (see also the beard as a 16 year old).

It probably helps that he will be well acquainted with Simmonds, Howell and Silsby from England duty.

I have no idea if he will end up at Albion. However, his name has cropped up on NSC before. As I posted on here two months ago, it would seem that his "representatives" have been hawking him around all over the place. There also seems to be a view among scouts that he is something of a flat-track bully:-

Looks like he’s off to Lyon.

 

[Bakero]

Disappointing

Fair enough. Although it's a shame we didn't get him, we have poached Amari Cozier-Duberry, Kamari Doyle and Caylon Vickers since January for nominal fees (comparatively). Seeing a player go abroad to develop is something I like to see

So we are believing Fab now? I do lose track thought he was full of shit according to many.

Jacobs announced that deal 10 minutes before ‘broken clock’ Romano.

Well me too. But rubbing Southampton fans noses in it is also something I like to see
