Why oh why oh why?
We already have a small, baby-faced, 19 year old right back in Romaric Yapi. Do we need another one?
(this is quite an old photo, and he looks somewhat more grown up now, but I like to think of him like this)

yes please
Do you know Chris Hughton by any chance?!
The older, tried and tested players didn’t do much good in our relegation battle at the end of last season so why shouldn’t a talented youngster playing without fear do any better?
The emergence of Alzate has been the highlight of this season so far for me so I’m all for it.

I've seen him play a handful of times. Obviously a cracking prospect. Whilst I agree with you re buying young players at this time to go straight in your side is not ideal.
Sometimes if the right player becomes available at the right price you have to go for it, If we don't someone else will and the chance has gone.

SSN seem to think we're still after him.

Not seen such Bravery!
Sign him up, and let Alzate play as attacking midfield not right back.
Could be the only player we bring in.

Because the kids don't necessarily come in and play without fear. They are often nervous and make errors. Try reading some of the posts of some people from this website when Fikayo Tomori played his first game on loan in the Promotion season.
Alzate I agree with you but he played at the start of the season. Lose at West Ham at the weekend and potentially the bottom 3 beckons and I wouldn't want to be relying on a youngster to play in a new team meeting new players for the first time in the coming weeks over Martin Montoya.
As a footnote I don't think they will lose to West Ham but it is a possibility

We also lose out in the super market proximity to ground argument

Sounds like we got him
"BRIGHTON have won the race to sign Chelsea academy prospect Tariq Lamptey.
The 19-year-old has snubbed the offer of a new deal at Stamford Bridge and the Seagulls have agreed an undisclosed fee with the Blues.
Lamptey had been in talks with Lille over signing a pre-contract agreement to move to France when his contract with Chelsea ran out at the end of this season.
But Brighton boss Graham Potter moved quickly to persuade the defender his best option would be to make the switch to the Amex.
Lamptey made a huge impression in his first team debut for Chelsea in the win at Arsenal and boss Frank Lampard was keen to keep him in his squad."

Hopefully, maybe that's why Bong has left

Senior Football Reporter at The Sun saying on Twitter, we’ve won the race to sign him. Do they make this s**t up?

Very good addition. Clearly part of the model that we're trying to follow, let's hope he's competing with Montoya straight away

Great signing if accurate and would certainly explain Bong leaving from a squad depth perspective!

At least we are doing business and not just watching others, very encouraging.
