It seems that way. Then again, it might be that NSC and the social meejas they re-post might be learning that the club do all they can to keep singings under wraps -- but, somehow, that's unlikely.

Indeed seems like it, though sometimes things just happens. Not a word had been said about Veltman to Brighton anywhere until he was actually revealed.
But I'm guessing not much will happen on the "in" front until a few players leave (on loan or permanently) as I don't think the club wants to be stuck with a 35 man squad once the season begins.

Unless it's a player from South America where every move is live on TV.
There was a Jesse Lingard rumour on Twitter based on his odds of joining us. Will that do?

More South Americans could happen. Due to the old work permit rules, English clubs don't really have a lot of scouts outside Europe because you had very little chance of signing them anyway but with the post-Brexit WP rules it is a bit easier so there's a bunch of new markets where you might want to get your foot in and it sure seems like Brighton wants to use the SA (non-Brazilian that is, as Brazilian players are expensive) market.

Can you explain what effect Brexit has had on work permit rules for people coming to us from countries outside of the EU?
Previously you had to get a lot of caps for a top 50 ranked country or meet difficult requirements at the Exceptions Panel, but now South American players could earn points from both their domestic leagues (especially from Brazil, Argentina and Colombia) but also from the Europa League/CL equivalents, meaning a lot more players are able to get a work permit without going to the Exceptions Panel.

swansman explained it well but these are the categories players score points in to get a permit.

fifteen points required.
players in any big south american league (brazil, argentina) who've played even semi-often in the libertadores or sudamericana are virtually guaranteed a work permit

As I understand it there was nothing to stop the government from doing this before Brexit as work permit rules have always been the responsibility of the UK government.
I actually think the UK govt handed over the responsibility of setting the rules to the FA but yeah you're probably right that nothing stopped it from happening before... but fact remains that post-Brexit football work permit changes makes it easier to sign SA players.
I.cant find an 'other teams singings' Fred so here will have to do.
I've not been paying attention but even I've noticed Newcastle have singed, at least 2 new centre backs.
Is BDB's dream move coming to an end already?

Not seen such Bravery!
Knowing how much you love re-resigning ex-players.... and seeing the open goal....
Get Dan Burn back on loan ?
Lol.

Bet we can't afford him now.
Which is why we sing kids and cast offs.
True EPL experience is above our paygrade.

Sorry, I didn't read the post that started this. I thought it was just players they'd signed.

Stupid question I know, but unless we sell anyone, do we really need to sign anyone?
