The price of fame isn’t it. You want to sell a young South American player, or anyone really, link him with Brighton. Everyone will believe it, lol.

We've been linked before.

Expect this to happen

Barranquilla has a great carnival and amazing record shop you're ever near, by the way.

Given the current track record on signing young South American players, I'm in

I’ve looked at a few videos and he looks very very raw. Will need time and coaching to adjust and be able to manage the step up.

He’s also not afraid of shooting from distance or playing a cross field pass or long diagonal.

He has though just recently moved to his current club. Porto have also been strongly linked (one place said they were in discussions), but it sounds like our South American scouts have been watching him, and the players agent has started to get a convo with us going to gauge our interest.

I went to the carnival about 15 years ago. Had a great time.

Pffft. I had a dealer in Columbia a while back, reckons he's shitehouse.

We were linked to Jhon Duran last year before he signed for Villa.

I went to a Colombian Premier League game last month and the standard was pretty poor. But as shown with Enciso and Caicedo, that doesn't necessarily matter.

This is textbook BHAFC recruitment:

Young;
South American;
I’ve never heard of him.

Fans of some big-6 club will be slagging off both us and Naylor in about 3 years’ for not selling him to them for 50m.

Certainly very 'us'

Ha! Yes indeed. Maybe Phil can give an opinion on his signature dish.
