Sounds like we got him
"BRIGHTON have won the race to sign Chelsea academy prospect Tariq Lamptey.
The 19-year-old has snubbed the offer of a new deal at Stamford Bridge and the Seagulls have agreed an undisclosed fee with the Blues.
Lamptey had been in talks with Lille over signing a...
There was a tweet about a week ago by some bloke who mentioned his source said we were close to signing him and that (crucially) he wanted to come here.
Yes he is pretty small but it depends whether he gets knocked off the ball easily? He could be the next Paul Parker for all we know
We played better during the first half of the season but didn't get the results we deserved. For me the second half against Villa I was shaking my head in dis-belief in how we were playing.
Obviously confidence plays a huge part in how Potter wants to play and that has been affected with the...
No, there is a Mooy thread on downatthemac which explains what happened, this bit is relevant:
"The FACT is that Mooys (previous) agent had told us he wouldn’t be signing a contract extension, so we expected Mooy to leave, and had lined up Kieren Dowell as a replacement.
Everything was then...
For me I think we'll be fine, we haven't had much luck this season so with that and some improved performances I believe we end up around 15th.
However in the context of this thread, I think we'll be surprised at who stays. We have a good bunch of players who the majority will want to stay to...
Big difference this year is that last year we knew what we had and it wasn’t going to get any better, this year the team is evolving and improving with every game. I’m not nervous about relegation at all as I think we’ll pick up more points in the second half of the season than this first half.
True, but it's still risk not having another recognised RB I would have thought. Could be we go back in for Bogle from Derby as they're not doing very well, wouldn't be surprised.
Just imagine if Montoya gets injured plus a couple of midfielders get injured/suspended. Yes Webster can play RB...
Apparently the other person out (apart from the defenders) is Townsend, if true then can see a front 3 of Ayew - Benteke - Zaha.
You just know that Barndoor Benteke will score the winner!
I sense an air of confidence from posts in here and other palace threads which is worrying. We hardly ever win there and most of the time we end up losing.
They've still got decent defenders available so won't be a walkover, problem is that if this is Zaha's last game for Palace against us, he...
I'm not confident at all, they are very difficult to beat and have tightened up defensively. It's meant they don't attack as much as they would like as they only have Zaha as their creative player now that Meyer is no longer picked. They use 3 defensive midfielders to protect the back four...
