Yep and the psv guy could seriously threaten dunks place if he doesn't pull his socks up. PSV are a top team (like Ajax used to be). This guy ain't coming here to sit on the bench.

[Albion] Igor Julio - SINGS for 4 years!
- Thread starter severnside gull
- Start date
I agree he did well at Everton and last night.
We're in a position at the moment where we have 3 good CBs and one poor, slow one. I'm glad it's Hurzeler's problem.

Igor was the only left-footed CB we could afford

Even Timmy? (I'm extending the description of 'journo' to him loosely...)
No he wasn't. That's nonsense. We paid £15m or suchlike - there are literally HUNDREDS of left footed centre backs in the WORLD we could have signed. Somebody decided he was the best , or best value, option.
Or appeased Roberto …
Timmy's obviously worse.
Charlie's ok but young and lacking in contacts. I've read more than one tweet that seems to just be reporting stuff being discussed on here. I've seen and been told stories that make RDZ look bad from a number of sources who are obviously getting them from someone at the club. Not sure why TBH. Literally no fan is asking for him back. We've moved on and the new era looks calmer, with better recruitment and exciting football.

name one please
I saw @amexer call him "Ignor" which is in the same ball park as my "Alibigor". Good one.
I hope and think yesterdays game was a case of showing potentially interested clubs that the player is actually alive and ready to play. Any bid above £5m-ish and he's off. If nothing comes, he'll stick around as a backup and no new LCB will be signed.
I would imagine the club is quite keen on getting rid. If he's 4th choice CB next season, it will only lower his value and make it more difficult to make someone take on his PL wages.

I agree. I thought he was one of the better players - particularly in the first half when almost everyone else was having a stinker. He looked up for it. has a good touch and tried to get us going forward. Sadly, a high line isn't likely to suit him too much defensively but he's a decent, experienced back-up if we can't find better.
I'm going to have to ask someone to make a gif of his stepover feint. It was a masterpiece of a "...okay..." moment.
Thought he made one of his best performances in the Albion shirt today. He was a little bit shit for his first 30 but once he came into it, he did well.

I like him.
And looks like he's going to be starting for the next couple of games.

Let's hope it continues as we have a few tough games coming up and will certainly be without Webster and probably van Hecke as well.

Yep did really well today. Showed good composure on the ball.
Hes had a number of decent games. His passing and liveliness on the ball has always been decent.
I thought he went missing and was really flatfooted for their first goal, but turned in a decent performance afterwards.

Igor will get his first chance for a run in the side and I think there is every reason to expect he'll do fine, without getting to the level of Van Hecke, I think he can establish himself as the first reserve in that position

Probably his best moment in a Brighton shirt during the second half yesterday- looked assured on the ball and solid defensively. A few mistakes first half but overall Igor looks exactly what he is- a reliable back up centre back

He’s a player I just can’t make up my mind about.
I thought he did well yesterday, and let’s hope it’s a case of a good player taking a long time to settle, rather than it being a “even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day” performance.
I want him to come good, if only because I feel like most of us were initially a bit baffled by the signing.
