Anyone else heard about this guy Labyad coming to the Albion? 27 year old Ajax attacking midfielder. Not played much in the last two seasons.

Zakaria Labyad is a Dutch-born Moroccan professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ajax in the Eredivisie. The player has previously represented the Netherlands U17 team at international level before switching his allegiance to Morocco and playing for them at the Under-23 level.

Tweet from Dutch Seagull just now.

He'll be heading back to Dutchland when he sees this thread, what with it bubbling over with enthusiasm.

Nope. Don't think we've ever had a Moroccan? So I'm in!

Come on - Don't just add another paragraph and think you're done.


Do it properly or not at all.

Been out since the end of last year with a knee injury. Not sure if that has cleared up.

Not sure that this has legs.

Dutch Seagulls translation:

'Labyad to Brighton in exchange for Jahanbakhsh and a bag of euros, according to Marca.

Several excellent players are already under contract at the Labyad position. Not a logical transfer.'


File under 'Whatever' in the increasing speculation file.

Dutch football? Tick

Another attacking midfielder? Tick

Tip from random tweet? Tick

At "last chance" age? Tick again

Yes, we need none of those things so expect him to be holding up the shirt by Tuesday.

Could just be paper talk. My concern is that there seems to be some suggestion that we might offer Ali J plus cash for this guy. The few Dutch twitter folk reporting on that seem to think that would be a terrible deal for us. Based on his career stats thus far, it's hard to disagree.

That was possibly the worst YouTube highlights video I’ve ever seen. At least Ali J’s YouTube video had him banging them in.

That lad fell to pieces in the box like a jigsaw.

Same agent at Dunk, Lallana, Mooy, Jahanbakhsh, Sanchez & Weir.

I was on to a Ajax swap/PX but it was the winger Neres I was hoping for, not a player who has had some big injuries, plays centrally (in a position where we seem to have four or five better options than him) and is most accustomed to the Ajax bench rather than starting for the Champions League first eleven.
