What's all this about Brighton players kicking off when brought back after their loans and not being allowed to stay where they were loaned?

Never mind Moder - would they consider taking Dahoud?

Not even sure thats true about Undav. He was pretty measured about even in that interview he did recently. "Worse things (in this world) to have to play in the PL" - he said.

Hopefully playing in a relegation scrap, he won't look like a rabbit caught in the headlights like he did away at Luton, and will develop further and show he talents regularly.

This is an excellent outcome.
Come back to us in a year Facu, bigger, stronger, more experienced and with a taste for spicy food

A good move, and it means watching Leicester will be more interesting this season. You know those dreaded Leicester v Ipswich type fixtures that pop up at 2pm on a Sunday? Facundo will give me something to look out for.

Great move!
A young player who won’t be a regular player for us gets lots of PL minutes hopefully helping Leicester take points off other teams we’re in competition against whilst not playing against us directly. If he does well we bring back in a PL ready player next summer or we sell for big bucks. If it doesn’t work out, he’s still young and we either sell or loan out again next year.
I’m absolutely loving our recruitment work this summer, the decisions we’re making are almost exactly what I would have done.

This is a much better outcome than the Feyernoord loan with cheap buy option.
Hopefully he gets plenty of minutes and really shines. There's an excellent player in there, he just needs a bit of time to put it all together. When/if he does he'll be a cracking player.

IF we want O'Riley can't we do a bogof deal with Celtic and a little bit of cash crossing the Wall.
He may have learned better English in the Netherlands
I really don't get why NSC has decided Dahoud is useless. I don't remember anybody saying this before he got sent off at home to Sheff Utd and then RDZ suddenly decided he didn't like him anymore. The guy is at the peak age of his career and has played over 100 games for Dortmund, he clearly isn't shit. Have we really got to the stage where a player like that isn't good enough to play for us?

Well if RDZ didn’t fancy him and FH won’t play him, then yeah I guess that’s a reasonable conclusion. It’s the managers decision and you can’t blame the fans for thinking he probably isn’t good enough for us if he doesn’t get on the pitch.

He wasn't particularly impressive before that either. The game tended to pass him by and he seemed a bit... well, lazy.
Yeah I didn't rate him before that either.
Not that I'm claiming any great insight or quality of judgment there.
There were few, if any, positive comments about him before the sending off. Distinctly meh, in fact. More significantly, I don't remember a single call for de Zerbi to bring him back after his suspension, and I didn't hear even the slightest rumblings of discontent when he was packed off on loan.

We absolutely have got to that stage.
He might be a good player, although his performances for us and his limited game time when he went out on loan would potentially differ, but he isn't the right player for the system. He can pick a pass clearly, but from what I've seen with us, Dortmund and Stuttgart, he doesn't have the mobility/stamina for how I think FH wants to play.

If he lives up to my expectations and hopes, I don't think anyone will have to leave for him to force himself into our squad as a starter next season
And I wouldn't be completely stunned to see him back in January.
Useless is a strong word. I'd go for other words like, disinterested, lazy, and weak.
And his barnet is infuriating.
Good option this. I'm not his greatest fan but enough people that have sat in a cold wet stadium as me seem to see something there. It's not really come out yet, but if it does we get him back, if it doesn't, he's had a year of experience. Don't seem a downside.
Hes not a winger and Enciso and Pedro miles ahead of him in and around number 10 and I've not seen anything that suggests he can handle centre mid. If Billy goes as well I can see us getting a relatively big centre mid / playmaker in.
