He’ll be 25 in 4 months time. He’s not that young. Those two goals he scored against Spurs were 5 years ago now.

Looks a bit tubby in this photo

There must be quite a few players in similar positions though. Top clubs have so many players on their books these days, there must be a lot of competition amongst those rejected.

Next time! Union Berlin versus Albion in the CL?

Hmmmm. Too direct. I'd have said "Gerry, from my Spanish local"

It's water under the bridge but as @chaileyjem alluded to, thus far he has had a decent footballing career. Next move is important but just because he did not make it at the Albion it does not mean he's a failure.

A 2-3 year contact with any club will equate into a really decent, and above average, footballing career.

Maybe. But that Spurs game was a long time ago and assuming Brighton had set him up to think he was something he wasn’t, there’s been plenty of reality checks since. He’s even said so himself. He’s 24 now, old enough to reflect on the past and make suitable adjustments; he can still enjoy a...

Everywhere he’s been, from Albion to Venice to ‘boro to Hull, he’s struggled for form. Not sure the Albion can shoulder much blame to be honest.

We have been saying this for 4 seasons; he's 24 now. For whatever reason he does not have the ability to suceed at the higher level. I'm sure there will be a L1 or L2 club or two which is a little bit dazzled by the fact he's a former EPL player and offers him a deal with the belief they can...

True. But that doesn’t mean the situation is irretrievable, in fact he said he’d learnt and ditched the hangers on when he went to Boro.

But he did get the “middle ground” as he went on loan to a bunch of clubs albeit at a slightly later stage in his career. He was given every opportunity after the 2019/2020 season but it seems he’s not good enough. :shrug:

A question I have, is what are these loans supposed to provide a player? And what’s stopping a player getting the same benefits of a loan at a later stage in their career? My point being is there a significance difference going on loan to Venice/Boro/Hull in 2019/20 as opposed to 2 years later...

As I said, he was injured for some of the time. Maybe he decided to heal his injuries by going to music festivals again? That worked last time :lolol:

I actually looked up his season a few days ago, seems he did have some injuries but form was also an issue. Hul really was his last chance saloon for making a career at a decent level. I dread to think where he will end up next.

Or decided to have a few early nights?

He didn’t impress at a mid-table Championship side…I think he’ll be lucky to get a lower Champ club.

Two goals on his birthday….unlikely I’d say.

Let’s not forget he has European experience as well! Who better to lead our charge onto the continent?

My female dentist has a large tooth tattooed on her arm; I’ve posted about this before. I also find your generalisation quite offensive as I know many educated people who have tattoos. And ignoring education, I know many people who are just decent people who also have tattoos.
