We are apparently looking at him, along with Forest.

Note the high praise our recruitment gets from Forest.

I know I’m old school and Forest have been shit for decades but the idea that a player might choose Albion over Forest still seems weird to me

Good spot.
When it comes to doing the right thing, Albion have surpassed all expectations.

I was thinking the opposite when I read the article.

You find it weird that a player would choose Albion over Forest? You must be under 50

I know what you mean. I think it's called imposter syndrome.

But never mind our insecurities. Look at how far we've come. We may be nicking a player off Atletico Madrid. Holy cow! #peakalbion

I don’t live in the past, it’s been years since Forest were any good.

I'm in my 50s and it's not weird at all.

Less of the "li'l ole Brighton" and more ambition, please. Sure, 25 years ago we were fighting to stay in the professional game, but 40 years ago we got our second best finish ever.

Forest have been shit since they went down. Their ground (and away day) is great but the ground is hugely dated. They are no more a big club than us, Wolves, Leicester or Saints.

1980, I remember being out shopping with my parents and seeing the result Brighton 1 Nottingham Forest 0 through a TV shop window and being absolutely astounded. It took me decades to finally see Gary Williams' goal:

However, when anyone mentions Forest, this is the first thing that comes to my mind:

A memory usually followed by another that doesn't directly involve Forest.

(Apologies for the tangent, but it just never gets old):

It was a good goal from Gary Williams, but I'd be concerned at that pitch.

I still think of Oldham as a team we might struggle to beat

It’s taking a while for me to come to terms with Albion being a force that most teams fear playing

Or Crewe. There was a time when we could never seem to get a result against them.

Clough said any goal scored in the last minute was a fluke. Then heaped praise on his million pound man Francis as he scored a last minute winner in the European Cup Final. Prat.

Indeed, I saw a couple of bad defeats up there and Dean Ashton’s performance at Withdean was one of the best I saw from an opposition player whilst we played there. He just blew us away

Good player from what I've seen in Osasuna. Would fit in well.

Very intense playing style, similar to Cucurella in that way at least. You certainly notice him when he is playing. Likes to tackle, dribble and shoot.

They’ve two other superb left backs but this guy is on a long contract. I can’t see him coming cheap.

They are above the salary cap in Spain and need to get rid of players if they want to sign anything new. They are in a pretty weak negotiation position when everyone knows they need to sell players.

Just seen that last week he's gone on another loan to Osasuna.

So chalk him off the list.
