[Albion] Deniz Undav

[Green Cross Code Man]

I like a striker who was released because he was too small. I seem to remember that was happened to a young Bobby Z at West Ham. In the early part of this century my brother's job meant him bumping into Harry Redknapp. They obviously spoke about football and when my brother said that Brighton had an excellent young striker, Redknapp, in his finest 'leaning out of a car window at a training ground when down to the bare bones' exasperated voice cried 'I Know! I 'ad 'im at West'am!' 'Arry was obviously gutted to find out that way that some kids can have late growth spurts.

Wardy was also rejected as too small.

Defoe, Owen, Fowler, Messi, Maradona are hardly giants

Ian Wright was famously told by Ted Streeter, "sorry son you are a bit too much of a lightweight to make it".

The rest, as they say, is . . .

Brighton and Hove Albion on Twitter stating 1 hour ago that 'Extremely prolific USG striker Deniz Undav is moving to Brighton this January'.

Interesting.

Two more years in Belgium? Then he might pop to us for 1 year?

Seems a bit old at 25 for our recruitment process?

Trossard was 24 when he joined but admittedly had more top flight (in Belgium anyway) experience than this guy.

. . . . to sign for Whitehawk.

The USG players have committed to staying and pushing for the title this window in interviews. Any deal would probably be a loan back until end of the season.

I’d be very surprised if TB rocked the USG momentum this month, it would almost certainly be divisive wouldn’t it?

Not a striker but possibly Brighton’s worst call over size in our history was when we took two Irish lads for a trial. Paul McCarthy (RIP) we signed but we decided his mate called Roy Keane was too small and weak. Looking back I think we might have got that a little wrong. Maybe.

Especially considering we aren't in dire need of points.

Seems unlikely. Given our relationship why sign him only to loan him back? Can’t see any reason to do that at all.

Because we don’t need him now
Because they are in a title race


But maybe for once we are getting ahead of the game for a player who is obviously going to be in demand in the summer ?

I wonder if that was the same people who decided Ian Wright was too small and weak too?

Player’s contract expires at the end of next season and he is presumably likely to increase his salary by 10x given his existing deal was signed as an unknown Belgium 2nd tier player. Having him signed to a new 4.5 year deal now gives everyone at BHA and USG a bit of certainty.

Or something like that.

Seems it is happening…

Well we obviously rate him highly. Having a great season but you’d think
If we finish top ten, and especially given our interest in Nunez, we’d be looking at someone a little more exciting. Isn’t even particularly young.
There’s only so many spaces in the first team squad, at some point soon we can expect something of a mini exodus.

Very unhappy about this if true. Was outspoken about Watford doing it and not going to be hypocritical and change my mind now, Loaning players is one thing - selling players to yourself is quite another. I know there are no rules being broken but no-one can convince me it looks good.

Surely if this was to happen its in the summer. They're top of the league right now. Easy way for Bloom to become disliked by taking their star striker away.

Yup I totally agree. That and stock piling young players has always been something that hasn’t looked great. If this is true, and with the loans going the other way, it essentially proves USG are our feeder club.
