[Albion] Ollie Tanner Lewes

[Braggfan]

His free kick is about 30 seconds in. It was a beauty to be fair.

BBC/Athletic saying Spurs have made a move for him in effort to beat us to it.

but, but, but, I thought that we were the best, better than all the other teams in the PL and our development and training facilities are better than everyone else's and we have the best beach and everything, why would anyone decide not to sign for us?

Oh, he probably doesn't want to be sent to Belgium on loan.

Not a great choice of club IMO but good luck to him if it happens.

Lets hope Harry Kane doesn't see his tweets from a few years back ...

Yeah that must be the reason because he'll go straight into their starting lineup...

£ is the answer.

Brentford signed a player who lived in Patcham from Worthing and now Spurs getting player from Lewes. Do we look for young players all over the world but not on our door step

Just because we didn't sign him doesn't mean we didn't look at him.

 

[Audax]

Just because Tottenham have had a bid accepted, doesn't mean the player has chosen them. Although if Tottenham are the only club to have a bid accepted, it is pretty much a foregone conclusion the transfer will happen. A "bid accepted" rumour at this point feels a bit like a signpost to other clubs "if you're interested, you need to move fast, and you need to meet *our* valuation".

We've had bids accepted for players in the past that we've ultimately not been able to sign.

Apparently, we had a bid rejected.

 

[Nathan]

The way I see it, if we match or better the spurs bid and he will come to us. Player prefers Brighton career path to first team, we will also loan him back to Lewes for the rest of the season.

Its not a done deal yet.

Well we were supposedly interested in him, but presumably decided against it or procrastinated for too long.

Let's face it Lewes to the Premier League is one heck of a leap, it's been done before but it's very very rare that a player makes the grade at that level.

Solly is one example perhaps, but when he left Lewes we were still in the Championship, not the Premier League.

 

[jackalbion]

While clearly very talented for Lewes, he was released by Bromley, which are conference side, will be interesting to see how he develops. Very few make it from step 6+ up to Premier League starter, without working their way up first.

Hope no ones sniffing around Joe Taylor and Razz

I would have Tom Carlsse over any Spurs full back as well

 

[lawros left foot]

I read that he would prefer to come to us, for a couple of reasons. Obviously, close proximity to where he is based, and our career progression is preferable to Spurs.

Our first bid was knocked back, and Spurs bid was accepted. If we are serious, I would think a bid matching Spurs would swing it, if we feel he’s worth it.

When I watched them play Horsham over Christmas he was superb, looked way below the level he should be playing.

I get why Tanner and Taylor get all the praise and comments but I'd say Carlsse is as good of not better. A very solid defender, comfortable on the ball with pace and very good in the final third
