[Albion] L'Équipe linking us with Timothy Weah

[Austrian Gull]

Just seen us being linked with Timothy Weah. Has had some injury problems in the last couple of years which I guess accounts for the relatively low fee being quoted.

Here's the article:

can see there being something in this, right sort of profile, like kouame and barrow who we also targeted. scored a very well taken goal against Wales at the world cup

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

This would have legs if we are going to sell Trossard this month. May also be viewed as a longer term replacement if Trossard isn't sold until the summer.

I could have done that !

No. Weah plays on the right mainly. It’ll be competition for March,

Be quite a landmark in us establishing ourselves as the top club on the south coast to actually sign a relative of George Weah, not someone who just claims to be

 

[macbeth]

and he's a musician too! get him in

 

[Lurchy]

If we do sign him you can guarantee that the story of his Dad’s ‘cousin’ will be raised every time we play we play Southampton.

American Express won’t mind us having an American international to play in our Stateside friendlies.

TIm's, giving you everything
All that joy can bring
This I swear (Yes I swear)

And, we know he can't be bad
He's got a famous Dad
Tim-o-thy Weah (Tim-o-thy-y Weah-yeah)

 

[Swansman]

Does a lot of music
Has accomplished very little
Doesn't score goals

Perfect replacement for Jurgen Locadia.

To be honest: the bloke is talented, but I really don't see him being at the required level for Brighton right now. Would surprise me if he got signed.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

So far we've learned he's injury prone and plays in the position where we least need a player

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Will surely go to Leeds?!

 

[B-right-on]

I remember watching him in the WC and remembered him because of the GW connection.

Wasn't overly impressed from my recall, had a few good moments but can't remember thinking that he'd be great in the stripes. However the whole USA team was a bit crap so that might be part of it.

So you're saying there's a chance?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Aren't we meant to be doing a US based pre season? Now that we've cracked the Asian market maybe we are looking to increase our US fan base as well!

 

[WhingForPresident]

Doesn't seem like the kind of player we would be in for IMO.

 

[bluenitsuj]

No thanks

Pre-season as a series of exhibition matches on a different continent are not hugely exciting from a home fan perspective, but increasing our global revenue is the only way we can start sustainably competing with those higher up the food chain.

Modern football being what it is, holing our noses and hoping for the best is really all we can do as we watch our team become increasingly detached from the geographical area it’s based in. I find it much easier to support my hometown club than a global brand.

Or we could just buy players to make us better, irrespective of where they are from

That article suggests he's been played out there, but it doesn't seem to be his position.
