No, that was Shane Duffy, Dale Stephens and Anthony Knockaert so the story goes.

Wasn’t he injured for most of his time at the Albion?
I was wondering if we had some kind of juicy sell-on clause but if he only went for 1.5m I'm not getting too excited.

Cool story
£1.5m for a striker? I'd guess probably not.

Wow! Another thread questioning Chris Hughton yet again!
I'm sure it was CH who told Simon Rusk to only name Harper on the bench and nothing to do with the fact that Connolly is better.

You’re being too sensitive here, it’s only the op who has questioned CH, not one of the responses has?
Blimey.
As our manager for four and a half years he’s going to get the odd question mark raised over things that happened in that timescale. He was the best manager of the Amex era and, for me, our second best ever after Mullary. Does that make him exempt from questions or criticism? No, it shouldn’t. Does it mean that the lack of U23s breaking through should be swept under the carpet? No way.
Here, however, I strongly suspect the only person who wasted Jack Harper’s chance at Brighton was Jack Harper.

Not sure about that, think this is just another drip in the drip drip erosion of Chris Hughton’s good name. Throw enough shit some sticks.

Well, Harper was in the U23s a good year or two before Connolly was involved.
But he never showered himself in glory and I doubt the club will lose too much sleep over his £1.5m transfer to sit on Getafe's bench. It seemed to become apparent fairly early on that neither Harper nor Hambo were going to work out for us.

Odd question mark is understandable - every bloody thread having a post (or many posts) criticising/questioning him is not.
He deserves FAR more respect than he is getting

Connolly made his debut for the U-23s twelve days after Harper moved to Malaga.
So they knew they had a better striker coming through

Absolutely.
Some days on NSC at the moment it seems like a competition to see who can slate CH the most.

Hughton or Harper ?
Pig commando Hambo has popped up in the Romanian Liga 1 for the Astralii who ply their trade against Puștii lui Hagi (Hagi's Kids) where our Băluță played alongside young Hagi Jnr (Ian).
Good luck to him.
