Great that we're doing business early. Less need for pissing about with last minute deals at 11pm on deadline day

Dutch international RB from Ajax with 20 caps, all for £900K (assuming all that is true) - seems a fantastic bargain, even for an area I didn't think we needed to strengthen..

At 28 though, I can't understand why he would come from Ajax to Brighton mainly - presumably - to keep the bench warm most of the time.

I'm guessing that's not how Joel sees it. We have no other defenders with his record and that pedigree

Often criticised and abused as the tweet above your post says

Read twitter again. It's a blood bath.

And there's a lot of Ajax fans taking the piss on insta..

Oh go and do one. You could NEVER EVER even for one minuite think that Bloom, Barber, Ashworth and Potter know WTF they are doing and this be GOOD NEWS. Always have to search to dig up shite.

Its just annoying.

White to replace Duffy, new Dutch ace to replace Montoya

This, it’s so Potter it’s untrue. We’re moving on a centre back with limited footballing ability and a very mediocre right back and replacing them with a ball playing centre back who can play in midfield and an international right back who can play centre back. We’ll almost definitely make money from these deals too.

Good deal but not a great player !!

Very poor at Ajax recently , lots of mistakes in him. Another Montoya.

Read twitter and you will see Ajax fans pretty happy for him to go.

It’s a shame. You called the Potter appointment so clearly know a few things, but all you’ve done since is fish, just like the pathetic NHS temp who used to post D’Angelo lyrics on here for attention

Don’t forget this guy says he’s mates with lallana and he didn’t have a clue about him signing and even said few days ago this would be extremely unlikely.

Twitter awash with mostly incredulous comments (from other club’s fans) about how we managed to snare such a good player for that price and without anything going public ......loads of positive posts from Ajax fans too (top bloke as well as a very good player). Him and Lallana look to be perfect for balancing out the youth in the squad.

Outstanding from the club.

We’ve just bought two Champions League regulars in three days for the grand total of £900k.

Superb business.

I was impressed with lallana signing as well as lamptey and maccalister. Maupay was a no brainer too.

However we have made some terrible signings from the Dutch league this seems to be our blind spot.

Obviously will give the guy the benefit of the doubt !!

He looks like a very good signing but I wish I was saying that about a striker rather than another defender.

Tbf I think you can safely have a punt at 900k at this level. Especially with his experience in the Champions League.

Not quite the same as the £18m or whatever we paid for Locadia.
