Jeremy Balmy - new 18 year old midfielder from Le Havre (merged)

[Poyetry In Motion]

This is in today's Sun:

BRIGHTON have beaten Spurs, Arsenal, AC Milan and Valencia to land Jeremy Balmy, 18, from Le Havre.

All four clubs tried to sign the midfielder last season but Seagulls boss Gus Poyet finally netted the starlet.

wow
Great stuff, isn't it ( if true )? Beating clubs of that calibre, shows a real statement of intent by all at the Albion.

I believe his Agent approached us, which is strange with the interest albeit last season of larger clubs. Anyone know if a fee is payable and what sort of figure ?

 

[Munkfish]

I think there will be more hype around his signing, than the amount of games id expect him to play next season.

Sounds a very smart bit of work from Gus.

Has the club confirmed the signing yet?

Has the club confirmed the signing yet?

not yet...

 

[sir albion]

Great potential and at least he has a chance of playing for us unlike the rest

 

[public school boy]

not yet...

so until it's confirmed by the club we can take what is reported in The Sun with a pinch of salt

From Brian Owen: Gus Poyet playing down suggestion the signing of Balmy is a done deal. Re-Balmy he said: "At the moment there's absolutely nothing" #bhafc

"Just happened on a bit of info from my mate at Brighton - they have a young kid on trial at the moment called Jeremy Balmy, a 17 year old centre midfielder who scored on his debut in a friendly the other day after coming on as sub. Anyway apparently they are on the verge of losing him before they even had him, as we are in for him, along with Arsenal and Milan. Sorry I can't offer any more at the mo, will try to find out..."

Have others come in for him? Anyone know?

Would be a shame.

Would be a shame.

Those teams were in for him before we had him on trial.
