    Maybe. Watson was dragging his heels on a deal, I'm not sure about the situation with Adingra (don't follow Brighton closely).

    I just wanted the winger signing to be “wow ok , there’s Roberts replaced”

    currently Roberts is potentially still a starter and we’ve signed both the wingers I was expecting.

    Fair enough if a 5th joins

    Definitely more worthwhile to watch the 90mins rather than highlights. Kyle Lafferty looked class on his.

    I think it's an exciting signing but definitely a very streaky inconsistent player that needs a fair amount of work to get him to the level a lot of people seem to think he's at. But I trust nobody more than our coaches to do that.

    aye that’s why I’m concerned our 4th winger signing is another African and another left winger . That’s all. We don’t all have to be cockahoop at every signing.

    Always enjoyed watching Adingra when seen him play but totally forgot about him in all honesty!

    I think the club giving Keith the exclusive shows how upset they are with Sacha though!

    I don't see us signing another winger when we're still short in other areas but I've been wrong more than once this window.

    Would be great signing ball winner v technical and tall. Would boss midfield with the other new lads around him

    For what's it's worth brighton fans have said he's probably a similar level right now to mundle, take from that what you will.

    I think he's exciting though.

    Adingra looks good occasionally but occasionally looks lost.

    I’d have probably been more exciting if we hadn’t just signed Talbi. I don’t get why we’d sign both personally.

    A lot of comments by neutrals suggest this is a terrific signing, trust the club :emoticon-0103-cool:

    I think it emphasises my opinion that we don't think Talbi is 100% ready to be the main man right now and want him rotating on either side.

    Which is why we will be bringing in a 5th. I'm so certain.

    Real mixed bag here - the closest thing to a consensus I would say is that it's a deal that's good for all parties (the player, Brighton and us).

    I hate when people keep telling me ‘previous promoted teams spent this much and went down’

    aye 90% of their signings were championship or prem players who were ****e

    Like I say I’m underwhelmed but I’m far from against it. I’ll back him and hopefully he turns out to be quality for us. And I’ll watch some videos this afternoon and see if I get giddy :D
