Listen to me!!!
Well looks like I was the first to confirm this yesterday morning. None of this mucking about and panicking. Just straight to the point.

Hi Everyone,
Another Iranian Jahanbakhsh fan here
I just want to start off by thanking all of your fans who have been the classiest group of supporters I have ever seen. The passion you guys have for your club is remarkable and it is winning over Iranians left and right, who are also extremely passionate football fans. Not sure how much everyone here knows about Iranian football fans on the internet but lets just say we have a habit of making our presence known I have a big feeling Brighton's fan base has now doubled!
For me, this move is particularly special because I happen to have grown up visiting Brighton and Hove on a number of occasions. My father spent his late teen years/early 20s living there going to college so its like home to him. I always asked my dad why he never had a particular team in England he rooted for and he always said because Brighton doesn't have a team (it was his ignorance of course but at the time they were in the lower ranks and he probably just wasn't aware). When you guys got promoted to the premier league I had never seen my dad so happy over a sporting event and it gave me a reason to follow an English team. It wouldn't be fair for me to say I was a fan before this Jahanbaksh move because I'm just obsessed with English football in general and never had a team......but now that has all changed.
I hope I am accepted because even when the day comes for Jahanbakhsh to move I will remain a fan of this club for how warm and classy this supporter base is and it will never be forgotten and of course after all this is the one place in England I can say I have some kind of ties to.
On Alireza and his potential/where he thrives - let me just say that he is a complete player and a hard worker. He isn't a flashy player but he will outwork anyone and has a great eye for goal for a winger. His ability to create opportunities is even better IMO and I expect him to bring out the best in Hemed (assuming he is your #1 striker?). The only thing even better than his play is his personality. This man is known to be the kindest, most humble individual you will ever come across. A little story that sheds some light on this is during the World Cup a picture went viral of some poor kid in a village in Iran tearing a plain white tank top with a piece of paper taped onto his back with Jahanbaksh's name and number. When Alireza saw this, he made sure he found the kids location and somehow successfully did, went and visited played football with him and gave him his game worn jersey. His character is second to none, which is just another reason to root for this guy.
Hoping for an amazing season and I'm looking forward to purchasing my first Brighton kit as soon as I can figure out what his number is!

That made better breakfast reading! Good work everyone.
A 4th CB to go and perhaps a few out the door. Should be an exciting season.

Because everyone took the piss and he couldn't handle it. He had to have a come back and that was it, quite sad really.

Personally, I'm in two minds about this one.
I'd ear-marked this autumn / winter to dial back my NSC activity and use the immense amout of liberated time to have a crack at some proper writing.
But now it looks like I'm going to spend more time on here then ever.
...oh well, there's always next year.
It's like the Hotel California. You can check out, but you can't leave.
Yeah, we've signed some Iraqi called Al Jazeera or somebody. Not sure if anybody else noticed.

There have been dozens of people "confirming" it on here and Twitter for most of the week chap. You're just one of the many.

I remember that being spouted by Barber when Burke was here. Then along comes Kemmy.....
It does actually seem to be the case now though thankfully. Balogun and AliJ both seem really decent and humble people based on the interviews.

I can’t belive how the likes of [MENTION=267]TSB[/MENTION] etc have treated you on this thread. You mearly passed on information in a dignified manner that you clearly stated may or may not be true. Respect.
Any chance I could borrow a few hundred just til pay day mate?

In all seriousness you’ve added a lot of spice to this thread and it’s been brilliant. You got some deserved flack but mainly from keeping digging and saying stuff was ‘fact’. There are only about 4 or 5 people who know re transfers at the time as Barber etc have said so it’s not often stuff is leaked so maybe drop the ‘fact’ bit in future and just say ‘I’ve been told’
!!!!! As you say, we’re all Albion and all one big family. We have adopted some Iranian friends for the party this season. Time to move on and have a laugh about this thread. I wish you all the best and keep following the Albion on the road

He added nothing to the thread but misinformation.

Yeah. How dare we point out that everything he said was a figment of his own imagination.
Btw, I'm looking forward to Percy's loan deal and subsequent interview with CH confirming the only reason we signed him was as a makeweight for a deal he was never involved in.

I’m also far more excited than I should be over a new signing but before we start looking up possible destinations for next season’s Europa League, have another look at some of the defending and goalkeeping in those highlight reels. It way take a while for him to adjust to Premier League standards, as it did Jose.
