He has played 57 times as a striker so should be able to do a job there. However, I think he’ll be replacing Skalak in the squad and will be a good swap-out for Groß when we require top pace behind Murray. His assist column is impressive.

Replacement for Skalak? No way! - think about it; by far the best player (indeed, the player of the season) in a pretty low level league. It's obvious, isn't it.........




.......he's Towell's replacement!

lot of specuaaltion over someone that has only achieved at a shocking standard of football.

If we were league 2 would be quite excited but this is the prem.

Trust the club but hell of a risk IMO

So for me , if it happens it happens , not worrying about it too much

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Personally think we can do a lot better. Just a gut feeling on this one.

Indeed. So rare for a good player to come to the top flight out of South Africa and do well that the last time it happened some of the new club's supporters formed a band and named it after the player's club of origin. Still, if in a few years time a band from Brighton called the Mamelodi Sundowns makes it big......

Give the guy a chance (if this signing happens), FFS...

Exactly for £2m - £3m what is there to lose?

Struggling to see any way that he qualifies for a visa tbh.
Hope we are not leading the guy on because he looks to have done serious harm to his career in SA.

a squad space! but worth a spin IMO, never having seen him play!

 

[Icy Gull]

So let me get this straight, he is likely to be quite shit as South African football is shit and we should be aiming higher? Is that right? It all seems a lot of hassle we are going through to sign a player who is unlikely to make an impact in the Premier League

Is this just an excuse for one of the recruitment team to have a break in South Africa?

Personally quite excited to see how he works out if we sign him.

At least he's consistent.

Err...

I have no idea which tweet you are referring to, but based on your other replies which I have now just read I've inferred that you were referring to the name of someone's Twitter account. It didn't come across that way when I first read your post!

Yes it is a big call but Solly didn’t do nearly enough for me last season.

I was quite critical at times of Solly, but it does seem that every time he gets a bit of momentum, something happens.

A couple of years ago the crucial injury when he was on fire, and last season he seemed to have adapted quite well at the start, got rested (rotated), and seemed to struggle to reestablish himself.

I don’t disagree but there’s no room for sentiment if we want to progress and achieve bigger and better things.
