[Albion] Nicolás González

[WATFORD zero]

F**k that, I'm getting his name tattooed on my scrotum as we speak.

Anyone know of a tattoo removal company that specialises in scrotums ? I'm guessing if there is such a thing it will be based in Brighton

I know of a place that does scrotum removals if all else fails.

Don't believe the hype. All these rumours just seem to wind people up. Until the club announces a signing only then you can believe it.

On the plus side FC Cincinatti are not taking up their option on Locadia, so maybe he will be our plan B!

Oh that’s definitely going to cheer people up here [emoji38]

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

File under ‘Jonathan Calleri’.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Plenty of fish in the sea.

True but the fishermen seem rather US at catching one.

 

[peterward]

He’s got a large tendency to come across as a **** on Twitter, yes.

He's just a middle man. No real exclusives, just regurgitates others info

That’s been my approach for many years.

I got sucked because the normally reliable Guardian reported it. In my experience the broadsheets only report doubled verified transfer factual news.

Guardian now added to my transfers ignore list.

Absolutely my thoughts too.

As for Locadia, well in the absence of any new striker signing, stranger things have happened!

 

[nwgull]

I've never understood this. He's done little in a noddy league and scored less than Maupay and one more than Dunk.

I've been saying this for a few months now. Nunez scored a hat-trick early on, but it was in a really weak Europa League group (which Rangers won at a canter). His league scoring record of 6 in 25 is mediocre, and this is against significantly inferior defences than those in the Premier League. I'm sure that Benfica would've expected more from a player that cost them a 25m Euro fee - their transfer record!

The Guardian only reported what all the others reported, that a fee had been agreed. This is not the same as signing someone obviously.

from the Guardian..

Brighton are close to signing Nicolás González after agreeing a club record fee of an initial £25m with Stuttgart for the Argentina forward.

The 23-year-old has been tracked by Graham Potter’s side for some time, Brighton having failed with an attempt to sign him last summer. Although Stuttgart have accepted a similar bid from Fiorentina, it is understood that González would prefer to move to the Premier League.

Please don't....... Not wanted by a tinpot MLS club, do you attend the Amex with a white stick or suffer memory loss episodes!

He's utter dog shite, a useless wages thief and a waste of a squad number.

Andone is 10x better. Sooner give any of the U23 strikers a go if it's that desperate.

 

[Marshy]

hey ho, so we didnt get this one over the line for whetever reason, still im delighted we are showing early and strong intent on getting a forward player, or any player for that matter in

 

[wellquickwoody]

Yes. It has been a bad window so far with all the talk of 1 failed signing and lots of news that it seems half our squad are being bid for.

Ever the optimist?

 

[Stat Brother]

TBH I really hope this deal falls through.

A big money marque striker singing in June would pretty much ruin my whole summer.

 

[Mancgull]

The thing that we don’t know is who we have made enquiries about ( apart from Gonzalez). That’s the beauty of our club in that we keep our cards close to our chest whereas Arsenal seem to virtually advertise it.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Our plan B should be to find out who Brentford are targeting and get in first.

Actually, maybe that should be our plan A.

As I understand it Forss is the next in line if Toney leaves
Who they re looking at for the next spot on the striker conveyor belt though IDK

I did realise that, they didn't say he was definitely signing.

But my point is that I've been following football transfers for circa 30 years through the broadsheets (including pre internet).

In my experience the Telegraph, Independent, Times and Guardian (or the BBC) never used to regurgitate rumours from Sky and any other hyperbole merchant, as their football news.

It didn't follow their journalistic principles.

 

[Kosh]

Always the bridesmaid...

Still, there’s always at least one really fit bridesmaid who tends to get some action under the pop up bar at around 1:30am.

It’s never too late for an impromptu shag under the disco ball in amongst the sawdust and beer spillage.

Nil desperandum.

Working our way down to the bottom of the "cluster signings" barrel.
