I wonder at what point the Albion recruitment team switched their attention from Vanzeir to Undav? We appear to have been interested in Vanzeir only a couple of months ago. What's the possibilty of going back for him as well in the summer?

Can you imagine it on here if we'd signed one of their two strikers and came away with the one who'd scored fewer goals...
Vanzeir is probably still interesting but a more difficult deal to pull off I imagine. If he keeps it up and play more games for Belgium he might be worth £20m or so in the summer, which might be money that is more interesting than signing him cheap to Brighton and hope that he can take the step up to the PL.
From the highlights reel really thought Undav looks very similar to Maupay so was suprised we'd gone for him although maybe we are thinking of life beyond Neil. Also from that reel the defending in Belgium is utterly shocking. Going to be a much bigger step up to the Prem.

My knowledge is limited, but from what I've seen of Vanzeir, he's more of a winger or number 10 than an out-and-out goalscorer. If we weren't able to extend Trossard's contract and sold him in the summer, then he would certainly be a feasible replacement.
Perhaps we did .......................... Vanzeir 12 goals so far this season ................
Odd move. Was his contract running down. It seems he has gone for about £4m. That’s not a lot for a striker of his age with the sort of stats he has got at USG.

Maybe Undav is going back in the summer?

Strikers from the Belgian/Dutch league seem to really struggle in the prem, I’m struggling to remember the last time a striker came from either league and really looked the part.
Anyone? Probably missing someone obvious.

Both of whom are some of the best players of their generations but In recent times though… Suarez was what, 2010? and RVP early/mid 2000’s.

His contract was to Summer 2024. Bit surprising they let him go this window as haven’t loaned in a replacement.

Benteke was good at Villa. Beyond that I’m struggling to think of anyone who was ‘successful’

Nistelrooy and Laku if I were to Hazzard a guess

Funny thing is the Standard Liege mob are called Ultras Inferno so I'd have thought they would have liked him

Didn’t he punch a player in the face last season and received a ten game ban?
