Have we still not announced him? I presume the announcement is imminent though.
deal done and being faxed to FA this morning so he can feature in tomorrow's matchday squad
travelling with the rest of the lads to Burnley I believe
How do you know such detail?
DM from a twitter contact who appears to be more inside than outside
Got a message yesterday to say that Orlandi was at the Amex and later last night confirmation he was travelling with the squad this morning
I wouldn't be surprised if 'international' clearance holds up his debut. Pretty sure it's happened before with players we've signed from Welsh teams.
Wasn't he out of contract which if true is a little worrying. Surely Swansea would have sold him for a price before it ran out if he was that goodNot read the whole thread but saw Naylor tweet yesterday that Orlandi was on a free but then says in the Argus that we've agreed an undisclosed fee ?
I havnt seen it confirmed by the club yet but if you check Wikipedia's website it says he plays for us.

I think i'll stay sceptical until he actually comes good. After reading what Swansea's Forum members wrote about him in the "orlandi to brighton thread"
"Hope so"
"Fingers Crossed, If he needs a lift let me know. "
"I hope to God that Brighton have got a top notch medical department."
"The medical department should be thanking Orlandi for all the overtime they've earned over the last few years."
"Always liked Orlandi, but too injury prone "
I couldn't be bothered to read the other 12 negative pages. But lets just hope he proves them wrong !..
