Devon Rover Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) So, on this Undav guy. Some of you seem excited about this one. Personally, I hadn't heard of him before. Is this just me not keeping up with the changing generations of footballers, or is it more a case of the collective dumbing down of us as Rovers fans, and our expectations, that this might be sold as the "highlight" of our transfer window, and whom we should be biting our nails over until (if) he joins?? Genuine question and I might well be betraying my ignorance. Edited January 21, 2023 by Devon Rover The least I can do is spell his name correctly!

Genuine question and I might well be betraying my ignorance. Objectively. Scored a lot of goals in Belgium. Hasn’t in the PL. Unknown quantity in the championship. I don’t know if it’s dumbing down or sheer desperation for a centre forward who knows where the net is after so long. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question and I might well be betraying my ignorance. I've never heard of him but he's got a good goal scoring record wherever he's been. He's a 1-in-2 striker. Did well in the Belgium top division. At 26 he's in his prime and he's coming from a Prem team that buys good players. It's a huge upgrade on Hirst on paper. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take a risk on saying, even without seeing him play, he will be an upgrade on Hirst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TugaysMarlboro Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Is there any chance of a buy option for Undav? Similar to the Hirst deal, or is that pie in the sky stuff? No idea how much Brighton bought him for. Although they've not been as effective as I'd hoped. It was refreshing to see an option for both Mola and Hirst.

Yesterday current club showed "blackburn rovers f.c." all lowercase and not a "link", now it back to Brighton. Looks like somethings happening.

Why would you keep track of European players as a fan when we don't have a European Scout? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gallagher contract extension was criminal then and remains so now. You can't possibly he holding him up as the standard - Mowbray did that to spite us. He'll be one of our top earners and he's simply not good enough to warrant that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not wherever he's been. 0 goals for Brighton. Had a season (2018/19) in the third German tier where he scored 6 in 35. Until 2020/21 season he played his whole career in the third German tier or below. Mostly below. In leagues of any note, he basically has two and a half seasons, where yes he has been about 1 in 2. The Belgian league is a mixed bag of teams though, some are trash, some play regular CL and would likely woop us. The 0 for Brighton comes from just 8 games and the Prem can be a tough nut to crack. Hopefully the Championship is the right level for him to get back on the goal trail. Can't see what Brighton would gain by sending him to Belgium again, he can't achieve anything there they haven't seen. Surely better to try and get him scoring in England. Sounds like this one will happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
