Thank you, v interesting. Whisper it, but i thought he was pretty good last night, esp. when we were in possession. I think he's quite similar to Pascal, when Pascal is playing a deep lying role. Out of possession he is still rather Davy Propper to me, but thankfully we are out of possession a...

So you do rate him then. Central midfielders in the top 8 EPL are some of the best players in the world.

Thanks. Guess my feeling of Dahoud is that he should be more of a de Bruyne player, he had that silky style to him. I don't see him as our Rodri. But i have no knowledge what he did at Dortmund, was he a defensive midfielder there?

Is that good? Guess the percentiles are high. Where did i read they other day De Bruyne saying that pass completion stats are the most pointless stat for him because if you don't make risky passes you get good stats, but risky passes are required to create chances. Something like that anyway :)

Stop it now :) He's a 19 year old in his first start in English football. If people didn't realise its gonna take him a fair few games to get up to scratch BEFORE this match then I worry for the state of football discussion on this site.... If you want our centre midfield to be as good as last...

Dahoud just looks like the second coming of Davy Propper. Who himself was the second coming of Robert Codner. That doesn't fill me with great joy. There will be some occasional lovely stuff though. Baleba, now there's potential all wrapped up in the body of some kind of giant puppy, all...

Does he also qualify for France? Wikipedia says he was born in Paris and grew up there, other sites say he was born in Douala, so I'm not sure which is correct. He wasn't picked in the Cameroon squad that was just named for their upcoming qualifiers, so next year's afcon may come too soon for him.

Same experience that Enciso has, do you think £25m would be too much for him too?

Right, and in the cases of Ferguson, Enciso and Caicedo (after he had played 20 games) - it is clear that there is immense talent there - the number of games played is not disqualifying.

Carlos Baleba is 20 days older than Julio Enciso. Carlos has made 21 league appearances for Lille, 6 of them starts, Julio has made 22 league appearances for Brighton, 8 of them starts. Incredibly, both Julio and Carlos have each only played one 90 minute game in a top European league in...

Plus 12 league games in Belgium and 25 league games in Ecuador making a total of 82 league games in his career.

I really don't know who I'm supposed to be looking at or which team he is on in those highlights :shrug:

almost scans...

Is been a joke for a while that clubs should just sign the guys brighton are looking at. Rather hope its not actually coming true now.

Well, if you were Fab and agents wanted you to publish all their inside info to help earn them a few extra million, you'd want a cut, no?

You were born with that feeling!

Well of course he was, he's paid by the agents to put their information out there. Most journalists are paid by the readers of the news, by subscribers, but his content is free. So he'll be being paid by those that want the news out there, the agents or the clubs. No doubt we could avail...

Maybe we are the ones using Fab for once? Surely his whole business model isn't getting clicks and likes but being paid to release information. Must of the time its agents paying to get stories out there but i guess clubs would do it too.
