I wish I knew who was who in the match versus Dover, as one of our players, playing in the centre pinged a couple of brilliant passes out to the left wing. Any idea who that is?

Balmy? If he was the bloke playing alongside Barker up front, he didn't seem to do much in the highlights.

The big guy up alongside George Barker was Ben Dickenson who we signed from Dorcheaster for around £100K at the end of last season while he was injured.
Balmy was No8 and if there is any chance he will sign on the dotted line I will drive down to Brighton with a pen right now...................
Thought No7 Courtney Richards, although he missed a fair few passes, looked like he knew what he wanted to do. He was released by Coventry.
Defensively wasn't too clever although the number 3 Shennon Jesson from Aldershot's academy looked quite useful

Valencia also wanted him at one point. What's is contract situation with Le Havre? We must still have some good connections with them

Were you there? Did he play well?

No. I'm just going off the 15 minute video highlights where he was prominent and clearly has enough to show that he's got class - "one for the future"
He obviously hasn't progressed as well as was expected as a 16 year old or he would be at Arsenal or Valencia now. As it is he hasn't broken through at Le Havre so temper the skill which is apparent with application and attitude which makes the difference between a good footballer and a successful professional. Just on what I've seen on video in a side that had clearly never met each other and had little cohesion he stands out. I would definitely sign him up if we can and give him a year to see how he develops

It was only in November Arsenal, Spurs and Valencia were interested.

I think Balmy would work well if he was put with Darius Vasseline.

Blue and white Balmy army
There are two players in that clip, Balmy is easy to pick out with his affro, but there is another player who looks like a SPITTING IMAGE of the legend himself Habib Habibou. Anyone know who the black player with dreadlocks is?
Edit: Was Courtney Richards. Jamaican born, i'd sign him up for flair factor.

So Ben Dickenson should really be BREN Dickinson?
