[Albion] Enock Mwepu (Retired 10/10/2022)

[Farehamseagull]

Fairly sure Biss will be off and Mwepu and Moder will be our first choice centre midfield this season. And as much as I love Biss, I'm very excited to see what these two can do together with support from Caicedo, Alzate and Gross.

Exciting signing and really intelligent squad planning on our part.

And clearly a signing that has rocked the football world, not even a single mention of it on BBC Sport!

Whilst we all like to speculate about these deals.......................

Yes we do - and that's exactly what this thread has been about - nothing more and nothing less. Never about anybody being, or claiming to be, ITK.

And a bloody good thread it's been, up to now, even surviving some silly stuff about the 'R' word at the start and not sliding straight into the Bear Pit. This is the best football discussion thread we've had for a long time! Cheers everyone!

That is definitely the way to go, but needs improvement, you cant have two players in the same song, never mind dissing one of them basically.

He's Mwepu and he's looking good
He plays for the stripes and that's understood.
He plays hard and fast and grins from ear too ear.
He plays for the stripes and has no fear.

Stephens our midfielder?

Naylor says this about every single signing we make though

He does doesn't he? He also usually says that when we sell a player it's for more then what is being reported!

 

[Silverhatch]

Don’t think we will sell Biss this window.

Agree, because no one will meet the Albion’s valuation.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Bernardo will have been able to 'sell' Brighton to Enock. He wouldn't have known anything about the place or the club, so Bernardo may have been an important part of this transfer.

I'm excited by this signing.

Of course not, they are ALL more interested in made up Bollox about the toxic 6.

................. but sadly it's now descended into a competition to write rubbish lyrics - I'm out of here now!

(Hope our new signing does well, by the way).

 

[Wellesley]

Very happy. Looks a top player and seems like a great lad too. More importantly it gives us FIFA players a bit of pace in midfield. Decent left back and a proper rating for Sanchez and I'll be a champion I tells ya.

 

[Napper]

Massive step up. Hope he has the minerals

I wasn't seriously advocating that as a song to be sung in the ground, and anyway it is not uncommon for two players to be in the same song, i.e. Ulloa's song had Murray, Knockaert's song had Ozil.

Hell, there are even two songs that mention players' wives - Two Kerry Mayos, Posh Spice Is A Slapper.

Love the way people are sticking this guy in the first team starting line up without seeing him play yet.
He isn’t going to waltz straight in ahead of Moder.
He could be the midfield equivalent of Percy Tau for all we know. Massive expectations but sit on the bench for months.

Welcome Enock. At £18m I would expect that, if Biss leaves, this guy is starting

Lets be realistic. He has cost less money than Locadia and Ali J. Which reflects the league he is currently playing in. Not saying he won't be great, he might be. But it certainly isn't a sure fire bet. I fully expect him to be a squad player this season and anything beyond that is going to be a bonus.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Yes, doesn't anyone else hope we keep Biss?

Sure do, but can't see it happening. Looks like this guy's his replacement. Well done the club for securing him!

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I see the president of Zambia has tweeted his congratulations to Enock on his move to the Seagulls. That's quite an endorsement

Potter pretty well ignored Locadia and Ali J when he came here. He promoted Alzate from the development squad to the first team, he promoted Sanchez who hadn’t played at a decent level, he put White in from the off, whose highest level was the Championship. I assume he had some input into the singing of Enock who won the league in Austria’s best team and played Champion’s League football. I am convinced he is currently seen as a first team player for next season. Will it work out, who knows but Potter seems to fill players he rates with massive confidence so unless or until it falls apart I reckon this guy has been signed to ease into the first team asap.

We’ll see

 

[jamie (not that one)]

There's a name to conjure with....

I heard his team mate, Riviera Z'blud is pretty decent also.

Made me laugh more than it probably should have.
