[Albion] Luis Diaz

[macbeth]

Looks like the guy who broke the Mwepu transfer has another scoop:

Personally, I'm sceptical, as it seemed like he's a Salzburg insider, so I'm not sure why he'd have info about a Porto to Brighton transfer. But I'll humour it, given he was right last time and...well, you never know. Let's see how this one plays out....

....and this fella looks like quite a player. Winger, for those wondering.

Cracking goal vs. Man City. Almost as good as Trossard's. He'd fit right in.

 

[albionalex]

He has been very good in the Copa America.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Goal scoring winger with Champions League experience. We like Colombians it seems. Not a main striker though that’s for sure.

if he sings then becomes our Thierry Henry I’ll happily have this comment bounced every week please!

Luis Dias

Left winger from Porto. Posted by the same guy who broke the Mwepu transfer…

 

[The Brighton Buzz]

I saw that earlier and watched video. If we get him I will be absolutely amazed and anticipation will go off the scale. He looks the real deal.

 

[Icy Gull]

Has Naylor said no yet?

Sounds more like a Nuno signing to me

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

How is that a highlights show reel?

 

[Frankie]

Very interesting, I'm sure there were rumours about him in another thread that were put to bed quite early with the wages sword .

He's a wonderful player and if this one comes off I'd be delighted ,I'd be surprised if we're the only EPL team after him though , get this one over the line please .

 

[beefypigeon]

I mean - if this has legs then wow.

He has just scored a couple of worldie goals in the Copa America vs Argentina and Brazil.

Interesting that there's been plenty of rumours on wingers but not much on strikers. Change of formation for the new season?

This is the one I saw

 

[Whitechapel]

Didn’t that guy claim to have inside info on Red Bull teams? Which it then turned out he just took from a Salzburg forum and a video from a Zambian journalist? How the hell would he know about a transfer between us and Porto?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Always knew we were after a left winger to replace Izzy, Ali-J etc.

Gonzalez was plan A but this guy looks good.

 

[Machiavelli]

Mods: please merge with the initial thread on this which not only has some astute analysis about the prospect of this deal, but also manages to spell the player's name correctly in the thread title.

 

[TugWilson]

Great feet great speed great shot on him , yes please all day long .

 

[Coach_Carter_92]

Scored against Argentina in the Copa semi final the other night and played very well, would be an amazing signing!!

 

[vagabond]

Would be good…

[GT49er]

If it happens and it's what GP wants and it improves the team - I'm in. I'll wait for the official announcement to get excited though!


PS Is this the same Luis Dias/Diaz as in the other Luis Diaz thread, or is he so good there are two of them?
(Hint: merge anyone?)

Well maybe he has done the same thing with a Porto forum and a Portugeuese journalist!

There’s a bit of chatter for this on Twitter. Won’t get too excited yet of course. But there are now a few sources.
