Going to be a popular boy with the Leeds ladies isnt he :)

Also, he seems to go to the same barber as Ali.

No disrespect to Ben White who was immense for us.

But Robin Koch
  • Full German international
    Current German international
    Helped the German u21 side to an International final
    Played over 150 career matches already
    Over 80 Bundesliga matches
    Mainstay of the 7th best defence in the Bundesliga last season
    Adds height (6ft3)
    Cost only £13mil, Adam Webster cost Brighton more
Ben White was immense but Robin has more pedigree and cost less, Brighton did us a favour.
Signed

to put it into perspective, we just signed Rodrigo and Koch for £40m - less than Brighton’s asking price for White

I agree, all told it's the best outcome we could have hoped for. :tup:

An interesting one for you all:

Germany play Spain in the Nations League on Thursday. We could see Koch and Rodrigo together on the pitch for the first time...

Uncommon wit I'd say, we've not had that one yet.

Happy with the signing I'd say, we've not done things by halves this window so far.

I strongly suspect Brighton will rue the day they didn't take 25-million from us for Ben.

Great to get them both over the line in one day. :) Now I just think we could do with another midfielder and a GK and I'll be pleased.

Insane. He’s not worth that and they know that, Brighton just didn’t want to sell, so wanted ridiculous money. But I think Koch right now is a better, more established player, who also has lots of potential to get better, so it looks like we’ve done some great business today.
Leeds Brighton will be great games

I think so too, all depends on his game time, if he’s not playing we could get him for 15m in January

Wouldn't be surprised in the least

Reported yesterday Brighton were signing another CB to go along with Dunk, Webster, Veltman, etc

Apparently White had a bit of a stinker against Chelsea, I’m hoping Bielsa signs another defender just for competition and cover.
