We appear to have signed David Walliams

Appalling that Hughton makes no mention of Walton but does with Ankegren

My email said

"Seagulls boss Chris Hughton said, "We are pleased to welcome Niki to the club. It's no secret that I wanted another goalkeeper, alongside David Stockdale and Casper Ankergren, who will compete hard for that solitary first-team slot.

"Like all our other recruits this summer, Niki's got plenty of top-flight experience, including games at international level. Having already played in France and Holland, he is now keen to prove himself in English football."

"Christian needs to play regular senior football to get to the stage where he can realistically challenge for the goalkeeper's position in our first-team. I have no doubt he will do that here in the not too distant future.":shrug:

I guess i should be happy that a guy from my hometown signs with my favourite english team.
But im a bit worried of how good Niki will be. Well, at least he is cheap, im sure.

I'm worried too looking at who he has played for before, not convinced by this signing.
Was hoping for a new No 1 keeper not a back up for stockdale.
How often have you watched him play and who does he compare to?

Completely pointless signing and indicative of why our wage bill is so high. Why we need four keepers competing for one place is completely beyond me particularly as Stockdale seemed undroppable last season no matter how he performed. Keep it simple stupid (Hughton). Casper should have gone and we should have told Stockdale and Walton to compete for the single place with the keeper being picked on form just like every other position. There was no need for Niki Minage. If we don't sign quality elsewhere, one of the reasons will be because we are paying the wages of 4 keepers or 3 and a bit if Walton goes on loan.

Casper should have gone and Walton out on short loans where he can be recalled at anytime in my view.
