[Albion] Timothy Castagne

[Bakero]

Rumours that we're interested in Timothy Castagne from Leicester.

Concorrente alla Juve per Castagne

Ci sarebbe una concorrente per la Juventus per Timothy Castagne, il laterale del Leicester sarebbe un obiettivo anche del Brighton che apprezzerebbe la duttilità dell'ex giocatore...

If we can't get Livramento or Sacha Boey, he wouldn't be a bad option, would he?

Did you EVER in your wildest dreams ever expect the Albion to be able to outbid Juve for a player? Gobsmacking to me, even now.

The fact that he’s ex Atalanta might bring a smile to Roberto‘s face if we do sign him

 

[WhingForPresident]

Would prefer Boey but Castagne is a good short-term option.

He's 26. Hopefully, go a few more years in him

He's 26. Hopefully, go a few more years in him

28 in December, end of peak territory!

I play too much FM.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Good player and one of Leicester’s better players last season, can also play right and left back. Would be a very useful addition.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Wasn't Leicester's wage bill twice the size of ours?

He'll be one of the significant contributors to that.

Personally, i'm not that fussed by the player.

I believe we'll continue to buy players who will have a decent sell on value

Fullback with poor positional sense?
£100k/w?
28 later this year?
I call bull****.
Common theme, link Brighton to raise the price or get more attention.
Probably in this case to try to get more than the €10M Juve want to overpay.

Try telling Veltman he was too old several years ago

My mate on the LCFC staff says:-

"Very good player and scored a few for us but…..

He always seemed a bit miserable to me , like he didn’t really want to be at Leicester ( similar to Ayoze Perez)

The Belgian contingent we had wouldn’t be in my “ trenches” eleven (except for Faes maybe )They seemed to not be v visible when a bit of getting stuck in required"

27 years old.
Proven premier league performer.
Starter for Belgium.
Covers both fullback roles and can play in back 3 or as a wingback.
No slouch and a good engine.
Decent aerial ability.
60k a week.

We could do worse.

Bit like Trossard

Not surprising really - how Leicester managed to get relegated is pretty incredible, given the team they had. But clearly most of them just couldn't give a toss. I'd very much hope we avoid anyone from LCFC.

That's exactly what I said to him

 

[est.83]

Saw him play for Belgium a week ago, was very average against not the greatest of opponents (even took a yellow on the 4th minute). Big NO from me.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Bit like Trossard

De Bruyne's never happy either! No wonder that Belgium WC squad all fell out!

 

[brighton_tom]

Looked decent when he was first at Leicester but has faded in quality quite a lot over the last season.

 

[veuve]

Nope
