I don’t think we’ll be seeing him tomorrow but plenty of time to get fit for Everton.

I don’t think he has the dynamism or mobility of a Bissouma or Caicedo. I think Lewis Dunk is a much better comparison. Same height. Same aerial prowess. Same good passing ability and vision.

The Albion statistical twitter heavyweights are squawking out some really impressive stats for our new man…..

Not quite yet but there is almost confirmed interest in centre back, Lucas Thinnes from SG Hochwald. That would complete Hürzeler’s first ‘expression’ trio signing. I suspect we could expect many more. Here are Lucas’ highlights:

I agree. A minimum of 3 first team signings are still needed prior to August.

I do have a concern about Wee Billy. Wieffer obviously moves into the midfield as a deep lying playmaker when we have possession buts that is what Wee Billy is good at. The other two central midfield positions got a lot of goals and assists in Hürzeler’s St Pauli set-up. Can Wee Billy sit...

I hope Pascal stays. This has been looking more likely in recent days. If he does, he surely plays the CAM position which would allow him to go for a record goals/assists season for us. Wieffer slots straight into the back 3 for me although will be the CDM pivot when we have possession. If we...

Surely the perfect signing for the Hürzeler system? I wonder who plays that CB/DM role when he is injured or rested? I doubt we’ll sign another but could Baleba or JPvH step in? Anyway, I suspect the club hierarchy are off to Leeds this weekend to try and pick up a few more new signings...

Another 1am announcement?

And I’m not convinced we don’t already have one. Ibrahim Osman played centre forward 10 times last season scoring 4 goals and assisting 3 times. I’d wager he is faster than the vast majority of defenders in the Premier League. I’m not sure about strength though.

I think Ryan and Naylor are taking the piss out of the agents’ hero!

Seems like he has been handpicked for Hürzeler’s system. He’ll be playing with up to 3 other Dutchman in and around our back line. What more could he want?

Not really if Hürzeler is to play his St Pauli system. This guy looks like a specialist deep lying playmaker in midfield when we have possession. When the opposition have possession, he’ll drop back between Dunk & JPvH to make a back three. He appears to have a similar physique to our centre...

That barnet needs some white stripes!

It might be more than two. We’ve already lost one CAM in Lallana. Moder, Dahoud and Groß could follow. Whilst Hinsh, Baleba and Buonanotte have huge windows, they are still squad players and haven’t proved themselves ‘first on the team sheet’ just yet. For what it’s worth; I could see us...

Christ. The Dutch do such great names don’t they? Tygo Land and This Dallinga! Sounds like a theme park and an animated children’s TV hero!

At least we know the agent who arranged the sale of his left peg!

Rechtspoot, rechtspoot, rechtspoot!

Updates from the original source…. https://1908.nl/artikelen/feyenoord-start-wieffer-aanwezig-stengs-niet-gesignaleerd “Midfielder Mats Wieffer is clearly in the interest of Brighton & Hove Albion. The club from the English Premier League is specific, but a reassurance for the supporter is...

I get the impression that we’re seeking to increase our Dutch quota this summer. We already have the amazing Veltman to lead the Dutch boys with Bart & JP in support. Both would be hopeful of collecting a lot of caps for the national team in the future, such potential. We’re seemingly ready...
