Team Percy.
When they get Winstano out of that cave in Thailand, the first thing he needs to do is sing Tau.

Not seen such Bravery!
Up to Barber to perform his work permit magic.
I suspect they won't even announce it until that hurdle is negotiated - otherwise we could look a bit silly and Tau will have to go out on loan to Union SG or elsewhere.

Love the fact that we put a 24-hour limit on the offer. Shows clubs that we won't be mucked around indefinitely.
Perhaps a Belgian club.

Good positioning by the Albion recruitment to have a reputation for meaning what they say.
One of the replies is from - A broke nigga - he isn't happy. Why would you call yourself a nigga though

Apparently only wants to sign for the Albion and will wait until his contract expires in a year and go on a free if necessary.

Because outside of Rappers and many other persons of colour it is only the leftie/PC elite that go mad. They call themselves that quite happily at times.

Very cheap for a gamble which could come off big. He's not a striker though and I'm sure won't be starting in August for us unless it's a friendly. I like the move a lot though.

If I was broke I wouldn't be happy. And maybe spelling .....ermm...... that word - with an 'a' is a new PC way of spelling it, rather than the traditional 'er' ending?
Or perhaps he's a bellend.................
Those that were called it as a derogatory lazy racist name harking back to slavery, took ownership of the word, made it theirs, thereby removing it from the racial stereotype.
To be honest, I think we will look to get it over the line this window. Relatively, £2.75 million is not a huge amount of money for a 24 year old striker. If he has a mediocre season and we want to offload him, it shouldn't be hard to make the money back from a European/Championship club.
Alternatively, if we tried to get him on a pre-contract, he has 4/5 months to change his mind before having to commit to us. We've seen players turn around after having their medical/agreeing terms because a better deal comes their way. The leadership of the club have, since the Burke days, acted pretty decisively and I reckon this will get over the line asap.

I think you have that about right. The way we deal with this sort of transfer is very much this is what we'll offer in this time frame and if it doesn't happen we put that card back in the pack and move on to the next target.
Our recruitment team , good as it has been has a limit to how much time it can spend on what looks in the scheme of things to be a relatively minor target. I'm sure they have other players they want to move on with and aren't going to get themselves get drawn into some endless saga for a £3millin squad player.

They think its all over...It is Tau. (well maybe)
Unusual report of Albion source talking to press about a transfer.
"But the deal now stands at a crucial juncture‚ according to a representative of the English Premier League club‚ who did not want to be named but has‚ on Wednesday‚ been speaking exclusively to TimesLIVE.
"They are frustrated that the deal remains inconclusive‚ even though Brighton made a first approach to Sundowns as far back as March with efforts to sign the Premier Soccer League’s Player of the Season.
They say their final offer has now been made and if not accepted‚ within 24 hours‚ they will walk away from the deal.
It represents the last chance for Sundowns to make money out of Tau‚ who is desperate to go and try his luck overseas.
The 24-year-old Tau is already boycotting Sundowns’ pre-season training because he feels promises made to him are being reneged upon."

'A representative', eh? Very unlikely. Sounds like a made-up quote to me.
