With the Ecuadorean connection I can see this one as a possibility. He’s obviously going somewhere!

We must be getting to be one of the most popular clubs in Ecuador at this rate. Cifuentes has had a good season at LAFC and would fit perfectly into the Albion system. You'd think with our sizeable Ecuadorian contingent we would be favourites over Valladolid?

No.
Mwepu's career ended unexpectedly after Gilmour was signed. We couldn't have predicted it.

Is this just a He's Ecuadorian, therefore Brighton must want him, in the same way we have Tross, Moises etc so they must be off to Chelsea. It might be true I guess, given he's not a 20 goal a season striker.

With insight like that I reckon you could write for the argus.
I’ve watched a few recent LAFC games, and have been underwhelmed with Cifuentes. Certainly not close to improving what we have.
I really doubt that. There has been a lot written our interest with him, the fact that he seems to hang round with Perv and Caicedo on international duty might make him more likely to come here but when you look at his game and check out his showreels, you’ll see that we’d be getting a perfect Biss replacement and back-up for Caicedo for about £6m.
Yes Mwepu was a box to box player but this guy has the energy, pace, power, acceleration and tackling ability to do that deep lying breaking of opposition play in a double pivot with a playmaker like Mac, Gilmour, Lallana, Groß or Alzate. I think we fancied Mwepu further up the pitch as he had a knack of producing a world class touch, goal or assist. I’m sure this guy would play further back in De Zerbi’s system.
If we could get him and Facundo in for less than Potter’s compensation fee, we really are dong well.

Alzate? Be surprised if we see him in an Albion shirt again.
I always thought Gilmour was cover for Lallana but what do I know

Don't know the veracity of this but it uses the term 'ECUABRIGHTON' which I LOVE and therefore think we should only sign Ecuadorians ever again
I see Gilmour as cover for Mac (deep lying playmaker in a double pivot), Alzate as Lallana’s replacement when he retires and this new guy as a back-up to Caicedo if we get him.I always thought Gilmour was cover for Lallana but what do I know
I suppose players like Mac, Groß and Lallana can play the attacking/No.10 playmaker or the deep lying one though. Gilmour has always been pretty deep when I’ve seen him play. We’ll find out where De Zerbi sees him tomorrow when he‘ll surely get a start?

If Cifuentes comes where does that leave Maycon - currently on loan with Corinthians from Shakhtar Donetsk - and a rumoured target for a reunion with RDZ
