He surely isn’t coming to Brighton to warm the bench? Who’s place will he take?

I imagine Hunemeier expected to get more game time than he did too, so possibly nobodies. Squad player who will have to take his chance when it comes along.I'd think.

Win win for BHA. A free transfer who will be 3rd or 4th choice.

I now have a reason to actually make the effort to watch England vs Nigeria and Balogun is the player I'll be most interested in watching :thumbsup:

Why do you say that? Have you seen him play much? No-one walks into our first team, and there's decent competition in defensive places. Goldson has barely got a sniff this season.

Just gut feeling and from looking at his age and pedigree makes me think he’s more than a Uwe replacement.

and so he should, so should every new singing, but that's not going to guarantee a starting position.
All it means is when he gets his chance, which he will, (we're not going 2 seasons unscathed at centre back) he needs to take it.

It's a football club not a charity...




...other than the charity bit of the football club, which is a charity.

Just watched his interview on Seagulls Player.

Seems an intelligent guy and speaks better English than I do!

Says he likes a slide tackle and to be physical!

Sounds like an honest and likable guy according to Youtube clips. Will fit in well at BHA

Great signing with potential. Still young.. seems very smart. We will know far more about him adter he’s played against England and gone through the world cup..

Correct me if I am wrong, but according to transfermarkt he actually isn't our player until july because thats when his contract runs out. Don't know if Mainz released him early or something and it's not really important, just seemed interesting

**** me if hasn’t got the same voice and accent as Arnold Schwarzenegger.

If he is half as hard as Arnie was in Commando, we’ve got ourselves a great (FREE) signing!

And after the World Cup..........”I’ll be back”
