Steven Alzate signed from Leyton Orient

[Whitechapel]

He was the best player on the pitch yesterday. Everything good seemed to go through him in the first half. Really promising performance.

Will be good to see if he can produce the same against Birmingham etc, he seems to be one of those players who creates time on the ball and makes it look easy. If he can do the same against the above or Valencia then we’ve got a player on our hands.

I’ve seen a fair bit of Alzate and he has every attribute to make it at the highest level. It’s the speed of thought and composure on the ball that standout but he can tackle and press as well.

I can't wait to boo him.

Were you there? Are many fans out there?

Why would you say that?

As a comedic jab to those who can't wait to call an Albion player shitehouse.

First time I've laughed out loud all day, great comment

It’s as if folk don’t know you’re a sarky bugger 50odd k post count etc

Reminds me a lot of Grealish, but with more defensive nous. Doesn't necessarily get masses of goals and assists, but is a brilliant ball carrier, can beat his man and has that 'x factor' about him that means he can be integral to out attacking play. He's also a player that fans are gonna want to see, a bit of a maverick who'll get them off their seats. Looks like we have another gem here

 

[dearest]

How are we saying his surname? Al-zat? Al-zayt? Al-za-tay?

 

[portslade seagull]

Looks good in the video.

 

[blue-shifted]

Great that he is fit, playing and impressing. I think a career move similar to Ben White seems in order. A full season at a decent Championship club, then back to the mothership to compete for a place

 

[Not Spanish Dave]

First saw him live in an U-23 semi-final playoff game. He ran the show along with a small left-back called Cox and an Irish midfielder they've just released (ends in iou, Mandriou maybe?). People were banging on about Gyokeres, Connolly Sanders (capt) and Mateju. But the two I mentioned were head and shoulders above all the rest. The opposition (Middlesbrough?) had a great little ginger winger also but I can't remember his name. Mateju was just big but played awful as a right-back, glad he's gone.

I wish people would get out and see these players live before jumping on the bandwagon and repeating what they read on here.
