[Albion] Deniz Undav - season long loan to Stuttgart confirmed

[Hotchilidog]

The option of having a quality finisher on the bench is a reassuring luxury. I understand why he wants more, but every game where we can't quite score and the opposition continue to frustrate us, we will be left wondering what could have been.

Possibly. However I am pretty confident that we will continue to score plenty of goals this season.

He seems to agree, hence he isn't hanging around.

 

[Brovion]

Some short memories on here. Bar a handful of games at the end of last season, the general consensus on here was that he was crap and nowhere near being a PL striker.

I don't think it's 'short memories' he simply got better the more he grew into the PL and the more he got more accustomed to it - a bit like Ali Mac.

On the other hand if you want to have a go at those who wrote him off as 'not up to it' at the start of his Albion career then fair enough.

£500 k loan fee is cheap - surely plenty of takers .

How many years training?


Got plastered in Stuttgart a few years ago.

This is a weird one? He is a goal scorer and probably would have gotten game time with us still, even if he is probably not first choice that still feels like it could have been up for grabs if he finally found his stride. Just feels like one where he’s being dismissed a bit too quickly.

 

[sparkie]

Official.

Odd

 

[amexer]

Strange decision and even more so that it is not just until January in case one of other 3 get injured

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Think it’s the right call personally. Hopefully he bangs them in over there and we sell him for a decent fee next summer.

Wish him the best.

 

[Silverhatch]

Go on Deniz. Get in the Germany squad and tell everyone how wonderful Pascal Gross is

 

[kevo]

It must have come from him. We will need strength in depth this season and he was excellent in his last few games for us.

I got a massive glitterball dropped on my head while in a nightclub there.

Needless to say, that night was a bit shitehouse.

Now confirmed

Hope he has a great season at Stuttgart, and we can’t ignore him for next season. I was really starting to rate him.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Strange way for it all to end, have a great season at Stuttgart, Undav!

 

[brighton_tom]

From the RDZ and Weir comments it sounds as if Deniz has driven this because of a desire to play every week, which is fair enough. Also no mention of a buy option for Stutgart & RDZ says looking forward to seeing him upon return. So maybe not the last we’ll see of him.

He could well be back. Who nose?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

We need another striker!

 

[Reddleman]

My opinion is we let the euphoria of the last few months of the season cloud our judgement on Undav. He wasn’t at the standard we need.

Of his 8 goals, three came against lower league opposition in the cup, 2 were part of a 6 goal demolition of a shocking wolves side and two were in games we were treating like dead rubbers and we lost. Arguably his only truly meaningful goal was against Arsenal.

We play one up top and he’s fourth on the list by some distance for a reason.

Wish him all the best and thanks for everything but let’s not overplay the significance.

 

[Seaview Seagull]

The way the club write up is written seems to imply no buy option as it quotes some
One suggesting we will see him back.
