Just the sort to bring Cms into a game..... useful pace too by the look of it.

Not 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 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.

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

Albion sending a Fax though seems a bit wet wipe info. However, I am sure it's all going through as you say. Can't see him making squad tomorrow though

It did with Harley if memory serves.

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 !..

Or... he actually said as much in his interview which on the FL App? You don't need an insider to know this!

Well, at least we do have a top-notch medical department.

I never worry too much when wingers are called injury prone. The poor buggers are athletes, and targets for thugs to "slow down". Look at our wingers' medical records.
