Brighton have a "very high" chance of keeping Deniz Undav, says David Weir.

How do you feel about this?

 

[Baldseagull]

Would love to have him back, great finisher.

Options overcomplicated. Take the first seven words of option 3 and the last seven words of option 4 and you've got a viable option. Otherwise, no vote from me.

You think we need a striker, but shouldn't buy one?

He has been VERY clear about wanting to stay at Stuttgart, which isn't the same thing.

Could a new German coach possibly be enough to convince him to return?

New head coach Fabian Hurzeler has held talks with his fellow countrymen and wants both players to stay. Brighton's technical director David Weir says the chances are "very high" that Gross and Undav will remain at the club.

Weir added: "They are contracted to Brighton and they are players that have done well for us. Deniz has been out on loan and I think everyone has seen how well he's done there (18 goals and ten assists in 30 league games for Stuttgart).

"So, they are two players that we are expecting to be back with us and looking forward to being part of our squad. A lot of things have been written and said, but ultimately nothing has changed from our perspective. They are players we really like, Fabian has spoken to both players. We really hope they will be here moving forward."

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Hopefully he's getting lots of practice time working with Pascal, building up their understanding for next season.

Well he can't really want both

He could have been happy with either option, but if that were the case he wouldn't have made it so clear he wants to stay there

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Sadly De Zerbi didn't rate him, but he has proved, in the Bundesliga, that he is an accomplished striker.
I would love to see him back in the stripes.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

It's a no from me. He always reminded me of Maupay - when on absolute fire could score anything but most of the time seemed very disinterested.

 

[Lethargic]

I thought he was German?

 

[Baldseagull]

Well he can't really want both

He could have been happy with either option, but if that were the case he wouldn't have made it so clear he wants to stay there

He could be very happy to stay there on the wages he was getting here, but happier to come back here on a higher wage than he had before.

 

[amexer]

Black and White. He is under contract. He returns if Albion want him.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Sell and reinvest the money elsewhere.

I don't think he'll ever be a regular starter for us and his current value is probably at the highest it will ever be. I think we'll regret not selling him this summer if we don't.

 

[Flounce]

55% of you are totally deluded in thinking that he might want to stay, have you not been following this saga?

Brighton optimistic on keeping Germany internationals Gross and Undav

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Footballer on loan asked if he would be happy to stay and says yes. Not like he has run off to Belgium instead of training is it?

 

[US Seagull]

If he wants to come back, I'd be excited to have him. But no point in forcing him to come back if he really isn't interested. Yes he's "under contract", but we don't need a player that really doesn't want to be here. It's bad for team morale.

So if he's really set on staying in Germany, let's get the most out the deal that we can and move on.

Thanks Deniz, best of luck to you mate.
