News doesn't seem to be anywhere on BBC Sport. Not on the Brighton page or the transfers page. Bit weird.

Yeah, I think it's more a case of him playing a single minute of first team football (for us) in the next 4.5 years.
Are you going to tell teacher otherwise? Lighten up treacle.

Wasn't that long ago our entire squad was less than £7million.

Percy Tau is quality what do mean another Tau or the real deal?

Like with a lot of clubs in the top divisions we sign players that have major advertising appeal in different international markets. Tau in SA will raise our branding appeal. The same with OnlyAlireza, Isq, Balogun, and Ryan (though he is also a fantastic GK). We're steadily raising our profile in major markets world wide which is probably 50% of the reason for any transfer for us now.
The main reason Barcelona signed KPB is they need a recognised African player in their squad. Not a bad player, can do a job and will certainly sell a few shirts in West Africa, probably financially more than what they bought him for as well...AND at the end of the season they can sell him to China for £40M. Win/win.
To be fair, I imagine there would be a bit more fanfare if he was joining with immediate effect, as opposed to in the Summer. He's effectively a Summer signing given the terms of the deal. Looking forward to seeing him play.
I mean the 'real deal'
As for Percy Tau, I have no idea if he's quality or not. Until he plays in a top league, none of us will know. Hell, I'm a legend in my own bedroom - it doesn't make me Casanova (and nor would I want to be I might add).

I think that is the fourth such reference on this thread implying that NSC hasn't taken any notice of this signing, which seems odd to me. This is now a thread with 354 posts; when we signed Bissouma in the summer for at least £10 million his thread was of a similar length - 372 posts. And I don't remember anyone suggesting that his signing had been ignored on NSC?
And surely we (or any Premier League team, for that matter) are going to beat Boca Juniors to the signing of a player that we want, aren't we?
A gabardine one I should think.

I really don't. To repeat, ditto with Hunemeier.

It's probably been mentioned before, but if not, it's worth noting that his brothers are called Kevin and Francis.
Argentinian footballers Kevin MacAllister and Frank MacAllister.
Kevin MacAllister was the name of Macauley Caulkin's character in Home Alone.

From the looks of the youtube compilations, he looks a tidy player (but then again, don't they always!). Seems to have very good ability on the ball, more than capable of hitting one from long range (and judging by his shooting stats he isn't afraid to either.) Looks a player who can create or score out of absolutely nothing, via through balls or long shots, and looks to get in similar positions to Gross. Can certainly see him fitting into the system we play currently
When I'm alone.
Looking like him? Well they share a similar early career although Ally Mac found a BBD (bigger, better, deal).
Maradona played around 160 games for Asociación Atlética Argentinos Juniors before he joined Boca around the age of 20.
At least he did not get sent off: https://www.google.com/search?clien...nos#sie=m;/g/11f77bdqkd;2;/m/04hpk1;ln;fp;1;;
Seems that the stories at the time, that Ale Mac was a target for Boca, may have been a misunderstanding.
