Dont know too much about this guy... is he a number 9 type striker or more of an Izzy/AJ replacement?

This is the singing that I most want to hear this summer.
Why are you so excited about this signing?

He can play centre forward or out wide. He’s also a full Argentinian international so can’t be too bad.
Also left footed which was something really missing last season. Wouldnt be shocked to see him play LWB at some point as well.
According to the Grauniad link posted by [MENTION=72]dwayne[/MENTION] above the deal is not yet done.....has Tottenham and Everton all over it.

Not seen such Bravery!
I read a technical analysis of his skills a while back and he seemed decent. I didn't keep a record of the link though.

This is the type of player we need to add pace to our attacks and a trick or 2 in the channel before delivering the ball in. Can also finish from outside the box and a confident penalty taker. Would obviously argue that he is not the clinical finisher 'fox in the box that we need desperately to take us to the next level. But certainly a step up in terms of quality. Would be a good start to the window.

5ft 9inches - just the target man we need!
Just joking. If we can retain Welbeck they might be a decent double act.

''I can confirm Brighton’s interest in Nicolás González, as per @ed_aarons, but I’m told the details of where that interest has reached are inaccurate.''

Don't wait for me!
Boooooooooooo
Nice! There you go.
As if he’d fly all the way to here to play FIFA with his mate Macca. That was clearly a tour or a first meeting.
I’ll await the club press release before getting too carried away. But it is exciting to add a completely new forward option to our club. He’s a good age too. A bit more ready made than a development type player.

Spending the Bissouma money I think.
Clearly a good move to mitigate fan disappointment at Bissouma leaving by spending the money on a much needed striker.
Well done albion ( assuming this happens ).
Not necessarily.
I mean you could be right. But I think this is a player we’ve been linked with for a long time now.

Doesn't rack up a lot of goal assists.

Naylor confirms Albion interest in the player. Various sources indicate talks / interest for a few weeks (and previous windows). .
Guardian reporting that a fee is agreed between the clubs - Naylor's reporting denies that.
Presumably its not quite there yet - also he's in Brazil with Argentina for the Copa America so complex negotiations in multiple continents.
Brian Owen in the Argus is similar with the caution but nonetheless confirming interest.

Doesn't mean he won't have to play ten games in the U23s before he gets a start though ...
