That's an amazing signing for them if it comes off. Bargain. If he's here another year he'll qualify for England too, they could do much worse.
In a way, they did what we did before, they take players that aren't quite good enough for big club first teams, like Sinclair, Ntcham and Boyata and develop them. They've some brilliant young players there, Kristoffer Ajer was a surprise as I thought he'd go to a big club. They've utilised his height (6"5) and converted him from a CM to a CB and they got him for just £650,000.
It probably is, he'll do well in England and if they go down he's already adapted to the Championship. They lack goals and I think he'll score them. And if he does well, a big club will no doubt pay silly money for him so it's win win.
Remember seeing us play in Brighton about 15 years ago when we were both in the old 4th division. Think Zamora scored their winner. Anyway, they had the buckets out collecting for us. Nothing to dislike there. Always enjoyed my trips to Brighton.
Jose Fonte could be an option? Adkins had him at Southampton, and Sullivan's comments about him in the media can't have helped his position at West Ham.
It'll be Jonathan Forte, he ****ing loves him does Adkins. I would have said Jason Puncheon, but he's awaiting trial for possession of a weapon and provocation of violence. So that one isn't happening.
