[Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

[Washie]

No - it's another 'shop window' selection to showcase Suttner, Norwood, Hemed, White and Towell.

Skalak and Baldock may have moves in progress ?

How can it be shop window when nobody can see it?

I suspect selected scouts are given access.

I still find it utterly bizarre how so many people can make assumptions about this deal and the guy's character based on absolutely no knowledge of the negotiations and what is actually happening.

Bizarre maybe, but there is a degree of inevitability about it to. For me, the will-he-won't-he saga (plus a less than inspiring World Cup) has gone on so long that I find I really don't care if he goes somewhere else. The next Jonathan Calleri - and what a relief that was when it was finally all over!

Conversely, if he does come here, I'll change my tune quite rapidly and welcome him and will him to be successful, just as I do for any Brighton player (although I'll probably keep the 'We paid too much for him' thought in the back of my mind for a while!) And of course, if he comes here and does really well he will join the ranks of my Albion heroes - but right now, based on no knowledge at all, I'm at best a bit meh about him.

Someone else mentioned the idea of adding a clause in his contract not to make a tit of himself on social media. I'd go one further - a clause specifying no social media at all. Surely 20-30-40 quid a week should be adequate compensation for giving up on social media until after he retires from football?

I wonder if I'm alone here but I thought he looked a very neat little player at the WC.

You're not.
He suffered from Vicente syndrome: playing with a whole host of players of inferior quality.

Or Kane, for England.

That's not over till it's over. #holdthenerve

I'd want more than 'neat little' for 20M euros!

As I said, I'm quite open to changing my mind if he comes to us and does well.

FWIW, one source says he was in London overnight. Another source says he was in Ashford.

MOTWYW...

I was confident about this one and think it would be a great signing. However now it’s taking too long. I think there must be a hitch. I just hope it’s not a counter offer from Leicester but it looks worrying.

Saying that I will (hopefully) now have my usual effect and it will be announced at 12!

Ashford Kent or Ashford near Staines? Details, man

 

[seagullwedgee]

Kent. As in Eurostar.

32 minutes until all is revealed then?

I’m very much on the fence, primarily because I just don’t rate Dutch football, and I actually thought he was ordinary in the World Cup. (There really wasn’t any Vicente syndrome he blended quite well into a mediocre team - IMO).

2-3 games isn’t much to judge though.
[MENTION=24827]Justice[/MENTION] has seen a lot more Dutch football and seems to be sensible (normally [emoji6]), and thinks he’ll do well - so hopefully correct...

Ignore, wrong thread

 

[Marshy]

ive seen enough in the 9 min youtube clip to know he's decent, ignoring the price as they are just stupid all round
He can clearly see a pass, and can finish.

Why would he get off at Ashford, you can't even get a direct train to Brighton from there anymore
