I know it's been posted on here before, probably several times in fact, but for some reason my alert for mentions of NSC has just flagged this excellent piece from @chaileyjem as being new, even though it's anything but.
Anyway, most days don't pass without a small group of people on here...
“He’s so confident. He wants on the ball, you can see a different person and he’s loving his football because he’s had a good run in the Brighton team towards the end of the season. Does he remind me of the Billy Gilmour we first saw? Absolutely. But that’s because he’s playing for his club."...
17-y-o Italian forward who has played a handful of games for Udinese.
"Brighton's interest in Pafundi is very current: De Zerbi is a great admirer of him and he wants to coach him. To have it, however, he will have to convince his club to show up at Udinese with 25 million euros."...
You might want to turn on auto-translation of subtitles.
TL;DR - he's not going anywhere any time soon.
“I love Italy, our football, because I’m Italian, I’m fine there [in England] now, never had a doubt about coming to Brighton. I get along very well with everyone at Brighton, there is...
I know he's been mentioned in the Levi Colwill thread, but maybe worth its own thread as we continue to be linked...
Argentine 24-y-o left-sided centre-back, who can also play at left-back. Currently at RC Lens, contracted until 2026...
The final of the European Under-21 Championships is on Sunday, July 9. If the Orange is indeed going to do well, it will take a while before Van Hecke has a holiday. After that, the question is what his football future will look like. His contract with Brighton expired, but his English employer...
20-y-o Italian midfielder who joined Chelsea from Inter for 15m Euros last summer, and spent the second half of the season on loan at Reading. Has represented Italy in all age groups up to u-21s.
"There is no shortage of suitors, even in Italy there are several clubs interested in the boy and...
Can't see it myself - I'm not sure how they could afford the transfer fee and I would guess he'd earn more with us too.
Anyway mentioned briefly here...

Some think the "legend" term is tossed around too freely these days. But Alexis Mac Allister became a World Cup winner whilst playing for the club.
Alternatively, some think he's a bit pedestrian, not all that and will be easily replaced.
Club legend or not?
Mac Allister joined us in the January 2019 transfer window. It's incredible to look back at the players that joined us immediately before, and during, the 2018-19 season...

I don't shave very often and I've gone through all my old blades, so before I buy something from the supermarket does anyone use and recommend any of the shaving subscription services?
I'm aware of Harry's and Dollar Shave Club, but I imagine there may be others too.
Only announced a couple of days ago and tickets have just gone on sale.
Just flagging it in case anyone is a fan and was unaware.

N'Golo Kanté looks set to be the latest big name to go there, with a suggestion he'll be on $100m/season all in.
A fine player, obviously, but not the sort of name that is going to get people suddenly having an interest in this footballing outpost.
Benzema is reported to be earning $643m over...
Any advances on £10m? Do I hear £11m anywhere...?

"Brighton sets the course. But I am absolutely open to a second year of Vitesse. Also, because the club is going to start the road up again. There are talks between Brighton and Vitesse. I don't like the Championship. That's so physical. So much brute force. No way...
Christian Bucchi: “I’m a friend of Roberto, we played together in Naples. I stayed with him in Brighton for a week and watched how he works. He feels great in that environment, as I’ve seen him, I think he holds on to that experience and he won’t leave Brighton because next year he can complete...
