But all the journos (once it was clear he was coming) said a 5 or 6 year deal and that he was coming to Brighton imminently. Even the IN THE KNOW Brighton Lion kid on Twitter said he was flying over. So the Athletic man must have this all wrong 😀

Those Twitter comments are interesting, from all those enraged Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool fans complimenting Brighton and asking why the hell their clubs couldn't buy him. It's a good question but I think two parts of the answer are that young players really want to play under RDZ because of what they'll learn; and that young South American stars now see Brighton as the perfect club to progress to, and eventually from. Less pressure from hordes of howling fans, a supportive structure, a modern, innovative playing style, and a much greater chance of getting game time more quickly. Those other big clubs simply can't offer these things.

Exactly that. Love reading the bitterness :laugh:

Can you imagine being several goals up against Palace up at their place, and him doing that. It would be scenes.

But it doesn't ACHIEVE anything - like Anthony's crappy pirouette thing, that just made everyone think he was a total COCK.

And even if the stand-on-the-ball-thing WAS your thing, he doesn't even do it very well in that clip!

It's a taking the piss action, rather than something productive, like players doing keepy-uppy. Winds the opposition fans up something rotten.

You might want to add that you would be living in a wonderful, vibrant City between the Sea and the South Downs...

Loads of hype around this kid on social media, he’s more of a ‘known’ wonderkid it seems. Hopefully he deals with the pressure/expectation from the media. For that reason I think we will blood him in slowly

I want to know when to take Mrs Rune up the Amex…

My advice would be when she’s definitely up for it, and you’ve talked about it. Don’t just try and surprise her with it.

He could ‘accidentally’ take her up the Amex? ???
