No way either of them are that stupid to post that if he's signed/signing for us.

Or
The deal is already done, and he's having his medical today.

If he's signing for Leeds I can't imagine they'd be best pleased if he decided to take a detour via Brighton so he can visit a mate.

Can you imagine if we'd just flown a player over for a medical/contract negotiations & he f*cked off 200 miles away on a jolly?

Exactly.
Both clubs would be FURIOUS.
Can only see this as him joining his best buddy here.

Agreed. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was signing for Leeds or someone else and just visiting his mate while over here. Quite a normal thing for anyone to do.
Except when your mate is in a professional Covid bubble.

Definitely a wide option rather than central striker. Looks rapid, tricky and capable of taking on players, all attributes we need from a wide player this season. Think he would be great for Maupay as he would surely draw out two defenders therefore creating more space in the middle.

I'm in. If we got Nunez too as a Murray replacement I would need a change of underwear.

A bit like Pritchard going to Norwich

He was flown to England by Leeds
Landed at Gatwick and was on m25 when his mate Mac called
He said what’s up how are you
He said was in England to go to Leeds
Mac said don’t go there their fans are deluded cnts head south join us
So he does a U turn
The rest as the say is all history and not in the slightest made up.

But Bielsa would turn him into a great player, Potter is shit and Leeds would beat us to any player as they all really want to go to Leeds - twitter told me!

If he does sign for us it’s great to have the quote from Stuggart’s president saying Leeds interest and offers were concrete so he literally would have chosen us over them... but let’s wait and see :lol:

If he is signing for another club but staying with Mac 'en route' then Mac is a silly boy. And NO WAY he is just visiting. Not with Covid.
Absolutely nailed on he is signing for us.

Exactly, it’s seems highly probable he’s our new signing now.

Curious how he fits in as he seems to be another Trossard type. Makes me think he’s not our striker, and we’ll still get one more. Maybe Nunez.

Except there is not a footballer on the planet who would choose Brighton over Mighty Leeds is there?

If it is him it’ll be fascinating to hear Potters comments as he kid of confirmed Veltmen was a right back in his eyes after he signed. But yes, I don’t think he’ll be the striker - but I can see someone in midfield making way if he does sign - maybe March or Gross?

We’ve done well to cover up Ben White’s transfer request and refusal to play for us so far - twitter told me so. He was / is desperate to join Leeds.

See, even our contracted players want to move to Leeds

Yeah the Nunez thing is definitely still going- just reported again on Talksport.

I’m confused as to why Naylor / Owen / any national press haven’t mentioned anything on the photo and it’s not the afternoon - maybe just the bank holiday thing but still a bit odd!

Brian Owen is off for a couple of days. Tweeted late yesterday that Adam Stenning is back in the sports team at the argus, and Owen was off for a few days (though his name will appear on some upcoming articles).

No excuse for the others (other than an embargo, perhaps?)

It's (surely?!) a blatant infringement of any bubble rules. I don't know what the exact rules are, but guy comes over from Germany and comes to your house can't be allowed?! So the fact there's been no comment suggests the next comment from press or club might be a signing announcement.

(If this was normal times it'd be easy to say there's nothing in it- just seeing a mat. But this year?)

Nico Gonzales, earlier this week...

Mentioned this earlier in the thread - he scored 2 in one half v Hamburg. Looks to be finding the net pre season for them...
