[Albion] Angeliño

[macbeth]

supposedly one of our main options for a new left wing back

so it looks like we could be replacing cucurella with an ex-city player...

He'd be alright for a while,
We could smile for a while.

But would he leave us cwying?

 

[Swansman]

If the club can afford him I think he is both a good and likely candidate.

 

[Mancgull]

Only 25. He’s been around for a while. Was surprised by his age. Similar age wise to Cucu. Hair wise, very different. Looks like our type of player.
So could the Cucu replacement be Colwill plus Angelino?

If we get the market price for Cucurella then I suspect we'll be able to do this. If West Ham really are interested wages could turn into a bidding war I suppose.

May well be possible, but I think he would cost like £30m... not very Brighton-esque (but a fee like that is bound to happen some day).

 

[Napper]

Looks a decent replacement.

We will not be paying 30m for a replacement.

 

[Swansman]

We will not be paying 30m for a replacement.

They bought him for like £15m or something similar, and he's the starting LWB in RB Leipzig and is labelled as a top class LWB... I don't think they're selling below £30m. But you may well be right that we wouldn't pay that.

Flair sounding name. I'm in. Welcome Angeliño

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I recognise some usernames of people on NSC and they reckon he's SHITEHOUSE (compared with Cucurella).

At that price wouldn’t be a very ‘Brighton’ signing but it is one of our most vital positions. I’d be much more excited at the Tagliafico rumour that was around before

 

[Hugo Rune]

Yup.

Grimaldo available for about £7m from Benfica. Although Citeh all over him.

 

[Bakero]

The Tagliafico ship has sailed, unfortunately. He signed for Lyon a couple of weeks ago.

 

[cowburn86]

View from Germany: makes sense that Leipzig would want to ship him off having just signed Germany left back/left wing-back David Raum from Hoffenheim (26m €). Can't comment on whether we are in any way interested. From what I've watched of him at Leipzig since he came here from City this would be a fantastic replacement but I'd be surprised other clubs aren't also interested.

Until such time as the Albion leave that deal and sing the lwb they actually want but nobody has heard of.

 

[Oscar]

Cucurella?

I'm loving Angelino instead.

 

[Bridcutt]

I don't see how we're going to get him without breaking our record transfer fee + I feel like he is possibly 'above' our level as he's used to champions league games but we'll see. He'd be a great signing if it did happen!

 

[stss30]

This guy is absolute mustard, can't see us paying the type of fee or wages required however.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Mmmm, not totally sure about him. I thought we'd be linked with him when Leipzig signed Raum though.

Sometimes I watch him and really like like him, other times he doesn't look great. Started well at Leipzig but had a mixed time last season. I don't think it's a great sign that Leipzig have just signed someone to replace him who they think will be better and starting.

He can be a fun player to watch though. I'm open minded on this one.
