Hope this works, welcome aboard the fun bus.

His picture with AS certainly suggests that he isn't 5"9.

Wheey!! good news and os says he is 6 foot 3 not 5 foot 9 like soccerbase said. The new DJ??

 

[Datchetbee]

Good news.

 

[duncster33]

he does not look like a lightweight hopefully he can bash a few defenders around

 

[Gee Bee]

Hope this works, welcome aboard the fun bus.

It says he's 6ft 3.

 

[hayes bee]

welcome and hope you can hit the net for us

 

[beesbarmyarmy89]

It says he's 6ft 3.

I know that. Just people were suggesting that he was 5"9.

It says he's 5"9 on soccerbase thats why I believe

[Stanley]

By the size of that shirt it must have been made ready for Shipps...

Assume we will see Thorpe going elsewhere?

 

[Gazza Bee]

Has an excellent goalscoring record in the lower leagues plus 2 in 2 starts (plus sub appearances) for Brighton so could potentially be an excellent signing. We now have healthy competition for places in all areas which can only be a good thing. If he can bang the goals in we have a squad which is capable of promotion next season IMHO

 

[cheekybee74]

Fingers crossed it works out well for us - good luck Nathan

 

[jay1310]

It says he's 6ft 3.

It says 6"2 on this page!

Anyway let's hope for lots of goals from him!
I wonder how long the contract is for! :shrug:

 

[hayes bee]

next year we could do sum damage maybe

 

[beesbarmyarmy89]

I wonder who will be the first to add him on Facebook?

 

[BrightonBee]

It says he's 6ft 3.

I tried to tell you!

Anyway, welcome aboard Nathan.

 

[Big Seb]

This is most peculiar as the Seagulls official site has him as 5'9" and 20 years of age (1-8-87)
Must be the sea air that made him age and grow

 

[EnglishBee]

Welcome aboard Nathan!

 

[PrincessBee]

welcome aboard indeed. do we think that's it for the day transfer wise then? or are we hoping for more?

 

[Davee]

He's standing on a box!

Your right SB.
Anyway welcome aboard Nathan. Is this the end of Thorpe as we know it?

:suspect:

I though our bid was £25,000?

According to Brighton's OS we have paid £35,000 for him.

 

[beeeehive]

He'll certainly cause defenders problems you would have thought.

Last minute horse trading by the looks of it. Brighton had to pay a sell on to Billercay as well.

 

[ladbroke]

Naughty Brighton.

Brentford ask for it to be undisclosed and they disclose a fee.

I thought both clubs have to announce the fee 'undisclosed' - no point one club quoting the fee and the other not! :scratch:

rofl rofl rofl

He has not even played yet and your calling him names already.....

 

[BuzzBeeSi]

Wow I expected him to be lanky

 

[wayfarer172]

Where did we get £35,000 from?

 

[Brain-dead Bee]

Glad to see that the thought of playing for us has made him grow by something between one and 6 inches since yesterday.

On paper he seems the right sort of signing: both he and Dickson would fit the category of young players with potential whom we planned to sign (seem to remember £200k from Matthew Benham [?] was mentioned around the turn of the year)

I wouldn't expect any more signings now, except possible extensions for Stone or Parkes

 

[Gazza Bee]

Must have got him really excited

 

[i love brentford]

i have seen him play this year for brighton reserves against bognor and he looked class.. he is quick and strong he bagged a hat-trick for brighton... a good signing

 

[North London Bee]

Thanks God, we are now sticking to the policy of signing young players who can improve and see their value appreciate.

A few months ago the only assets we possessed with a likely resale value were Ide and Osbourne.

Now we can add Elder and Dickson plus maybe even Connell and Poole.

This is the only way forward for a club in our position and I am delighted that sense has prevailed.

 

[sonofabee]

Well I'm happy.

Was hoping for a young, quick, strong goalscorer to lead the line and if we'd got him direct from Billericay no doubt we'd all be excited.

Welcome Nathan, looking forward to an average of a goal per game until the end of the season.

 

[deanobee]

can anyone say what the interview on bees world says

[blunstone]

amazed that we have paid a fee...... and a fee to plymouth also.

i thought we could only sign freebies?

exciting times!

 

[blunstone]

and well done ricky too!

 

[Idaho Bee]

Has an excellent goalscoring record in the lower leagues plus 2 in 2 starts (plus sub appearances) for Brighton so could potentially be an excellent signing.

Haven't given up on the playoffs yet.

The fee to Plymouth could have been £0

 

[Stanley]

On paper he was everything we needed on Tuesday to nick a win so fingers crossed he can lead the line and knows how to score.

 

[sgaz]

Wheey!! good news and os says he is 6 foot 3 not 5 foot 9 like soccerbase said. The new DJ??

you've answered your own question there surely

Where did we get £35,000 from?

Welcome aboard Mr T, you crazy fool

 

[Gazza Bee]

Haven't given up on the playoffs yet.

IMHO it would be a step too far given our start to the season but I would be very optimistic that with a pre-season behind him AS would deliver promotion next season with more deadwood being offloaded and fresh talent brought in.
