OFFICIAL:Reyes Signs for Albion

[perseus]

Chile play three at the back in daft (might suit tippy-tappy and the Albion) formations:

Jara can play in any three of the positions. He was substituted in the Copa America defeat to Venezuela and played against Spain.

Could we play 3-5-2 ? The new holding midfielder doubles up as a centre-back. Or what I could suggest play 5-3-2 and use the new player as an "attacking centre-half" which is very Uruguyan.

Then the Albion team almost picks itself:

-----------------------16. Casper Ankergren------------------------
14. Iñigo Calderón 5. Lewis Dunk 3. Gordon Greer 22. Marcos Painter
11. Craig Noone-----26. Liam Bridcutt----Jara Reyes-----14. Vicente Rodríguez
-----12. Craig Mackail-Smith 9. Ashley Barnes

"He also brings versatility: he can play anywhere across the back four or as a defensive midfielder." Gus

The ideal solution until El-Abd is fit.

Didn't someone say he is on the small side? Don't get me wrong well happy with the signing but want a little height added to the squad...

 

[Max Paper]

Flair, love it

5"10

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

the main point is that he's from chile

i literally don't care if he's shit

 

[Biscuit]

5' 10 is a little short for a center back isn't it? Surely he'll be a full back or defensive midfielder.

not too small for a flairnter back though

 

[Albion Robster]

Brilliant addition to the squad. Hopefully that means Ryan Harley will never been seen in the Brighton Midfield again!
Is Reyes actually match-fit? Could he slot straight in against West Ham??

I think he'll slot straight into midfield vs West Ham.

 

[Blue and White Tiger]

From a WBA fan:
Decent enough, especially for The Championship, no disrespect intended. Can be a bit hot headed but if he stays on the pitch I think he will do a good job for you.

El Abd is only 5ft 11

 

[RM-Taylor]

Primarily is a right-back. Can also play in defensive midfield and can cover at left-back.

Calderon has been poor this season so can see him taking Calde's place.

Sounds like he will do wonders for our excellent disciplinary record.

 

[Medwayseagull]

Any news on whether the deal could be extended beyond January or even made permanent if it works out?

 

[e77]

In my own mind he will be good at 'tactical' bookings and then will act like he has been told he has a month to live when booked.

I have no knowledge if any of this will happen.

 

[DerbyGull]

To make him feel right at home, we better start learning this...

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

my one wish when gus took over was that he would sign players from as many countries as possible, and he hasn't disappointed

i want all of south america ticked off by the time he leaves
