Gaetan Bong signs 2 year deal [Flair]

[GT49er]

Never heard of him - but happy to go along with the general hopefulness on this thread.

We could certainly have done with a Bong at times last season.....................

 

[Guinness Boy]

It's good to have a left back that is a Brighton player.

This. A permanent left back at last. Know nothing about him at all other than he was at Wigan.

Age is slightly too old (peak), height is good

Lots of touches v Albion @ Wigan

Rating 7.2 for that game 6.9 in the season

My verdict: not bad, very slight improvement on Joe Bennett. Not my first choice Championship left back.
Like Rosenior, his pass % success is low, much lower than the current Albion team.

Pace seems to be OK without being exceptional. FBs need to be quick. Right build for a full back.

Most urgent position covered, equal urgent is the second striker. It might be a good signing and not disappointed, far from it.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Not impressed

 

[Postman Pat]

There were some threads linking us to James Perch, seems like we were after Bong all along.

 

[Hyperion]

If we could just sign Alex Song and Shane Long

 

[Hyperion]

Hughton said some weeks back he would be spending the budget wisely. So far, he seems to have obtained the services of 3 decent quality players for next to nothing. Hopefully that will leave the door opening for 1 or 2 big signings that can be added to give us a real good chance at having a go this season. For me, at least one striker, a CB and a keeper is still needed

 

[Willy Dangle]

Off to get my Bong tattoo done tomorrow. Might put it next to my Toko one just underneat Harley.

 

[Megazone]

Let's hope he doesn't turn into a mong signing.

Britt Assombalonga

 

[Eeyore]

Sounds like Peter Smith has reincarnated.

I'm sorry my fellow NSCers have overlooked this momentous occasion, I can only imagine they're caught up in something football related.

Happy Birthday!

 

[Zebedee]

Another good signing by the club. A big well done to all concerned.

 

[Rogero]

Bozza bounced an old thread about beer bong, if you scan through it you'll find only 3 players mention due to their funny names, along with Butt and Ponce was our very own Bong.

Thanks for that.

 

[B.W.]

Welcome Gaetan. Don't know anything about him, but ex-international and CL experience sounds good to me. And not another loanee LB too!

I reckon we're half way there now. 3 down, 3 to go... 1 more before Geneva and we are on-track...

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

Is he any relation to Hove Bong and Bred?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Just when i thought we had the flairest named player in the championship, Brentford go and sign Andreas Bellend!!
