"Play the ball two meters and let Trossard shoot" will have that effect.

Think overall he has been good but yesterday he was quite poor and his defending overall isn't great. Certainly brings more to the attacking game than Cucurella though, but then again I am one of few who thought both March and BDB were better going forward than Cucu was...

Not sure exactly what he did to deserve that. He's been fine though.

Absolutely is. Definitely wasn't Cucurellas strength, while Pervis is really good at it.

Wonder if a back 4 suits him better as he can just focus on his game rather than doing the amount of positional thinking that is required as LWB.

Still, if you're an English club and have any intentions of perhaps using the player at some point, you start to teach them English once the deal is done. Pretty sure Brighton does it differently.. would imagine Ali Mac was getting English lessons pretty much immediatly after signing, despite...

Yeah... too bad Watford is such a sloppy and cheap club and didn't teach him English when they bought him.

Honeymoon for him - if anyone else makes those 3-4 very dangerous mistakes he made in the second half, that would be the main subject now. Definitely got the technical and physical ability however, just needs some tactical drilling.

Yup. Will be interesting to see when he needs to do a bit more defending, but it looked promising indeed.

People also "realise" that Sanchez is shite, many wanting him benched last season. They also "realised" that Webster is shite, Dunk is no longer good enough, Bissouma is downing his toos, that Gross is finished at this level, that Lallana and Welbeck would never do more than a handful of...

None.

He doesn't have the same pace as before (he is still quick though, just not inhumanely fast) but I think he is starting to adapt to that reality quite nicely and he still got very good technique and is decent at crossing.

Ok so he got one more game as a CB than Cucurella had when he came to Brighton. Dont think anybody thought Cucurella would play CB either.

In any online player comparison tool you can find, Pervis is one of those most similar to Cucurella in playing style, and that was what I based my "we'll be in for Pervis" prediction on a day after Marc left. Hopefully he'll be almost as good as well.

I thought someone claiming to be ITK - - said he is already in Brighton? Anyway, who was the bloke that went to take a photo of Cucurella at the airport last year? Jim something? Jim something - get to work!

Yup, and it is pretty much the standard these days when fees are high and negotiations complex. No club wants to waste a week or two of negotiating just to find out in the end that the buying club couldnt find an agreement with the player.

Yeah I know that's your idea of journalism - repeating official press communication. A merger between journalism and PR/marketing. Thankfully there's still some journalists who are willing to do what I think is the core of journalism - investigating, revealing and uncovering pleasant and...

Only a matter of days before we have an "EXCLUSIVE" from Sir Naylor then.

Maybe had a talk with Caicedo and found out it ain't so bad.

Due to La Ligas very strict financial fair play rules, they have to sell players in order to buy new ones. And since they have another good left back in the team already while they want to strengthen other areas, he would likely be quite cheap.
