A Propper signing for Brighton

[UpTheBeehole]

Brighton have landed a Propper player from PSV, for £6m.

Won the league with them.

Shows there are quite a few bargains still out there if you have a scouting network which travels further than Staffordshire.

He's only a bargain if he turns out to be any good

Ireland is further than Staffordshire

If we'd signed a 6'1" Dutch international midfielder who scores 10 a season from midfield for teams which wins leagues and did well in the Champions League, we'd be over the moon.

[SkiptonClaret]

No need for these exotic foreign signings, we've got Bards and Walts.

[claretdom]

If we had signed him I wonder if there would be a thread about him on their forum

I was over the moon when we signed Tony Hancock and non-plussed when we signed Sam Vokes. Means nothing unfortunately!

If we'd signed a player with a punnable surname, probably, yes.

I've never heard of him, but if he's signed for someone else, I'm guessing he's amazeballs.

Didn't Boro sign players from the Dutch champions last year?

[UpTheBeehole]

I reckon Messi could sign for someone in the Premier League and we'd still get people on here saying he's sh1te.

Not 100% sure on your point here, but it's a leap from someone who's got 5 caps for a fairly toss Holland side and arguably the greatest footballer of all time.

[kaptin1]

Didn't Remco van de Schaff play in the Champions League?

[cricketfieldclarets]

He is that good he won the league with Feyenoord even though he has never played for them.

On a serious note, not a bad player and a good price. But the one area I think we are fine (strangely for once) is central midfield.

I don't see anyone saying this bloke is sh1te.

[IanMcL]

He's got a foreign name - what more can they need?

[dsr]

Propper 5 caps (no full games), two of them last season, for Holland; Hendrick, 33 caps (mostly full games) for a side ranked higher internationally than Holland. I think perhaps people forget how good we are now - there's no need to assume that any old international is going to improve us.

Soon find out Saturday, they are Home to City, who I think will be the stand out team this season, hopefully they get beat by more goals than us

[claretfern]

He might be fabulous for them......and he also might turn out to be another van Wolfswinkel....

[Vegas Claret]

Brighton played well yesterday against athletico madrid only losing 2-3. Whilst I'm expecting man city to win I think Brighton will be alot stronger at home than people are thinking, they will have our problem in away games though I reckon.

This.

So how on earth did we sign Steven Defour then?

[Vegas Claret]

we didn't, apparently he came to us

Messi is a flat track bully.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Fairly average player.
I'm not sure he will even start ahead of what they have got.
Probably just Norwoods replacement on the bench

[boiledclaret]

It got puntastic on here when we signed Pope.

[Vegas Claret]

I can't believe Huddersfield didn't sign him

[Vegas Claret]

or PSG for 120 million

[mkmel]

I can't believe Huddersfield didn't sign him

I don't think Huddersfield have made any signings yet this season
