Plus side top flight Spanish regular. Negative - not a goalscorer!!

Well spotted

Good spot. It's the sort of thing we'd do, so just maybe it has legs....

Reading about him, it seems he's another player who plays behind the front man, which would explain why he scores one in three - pretty decent record playing in that position. He also seems to come on as a sub a fair amount which would also screw those stats.

Sounds like a quality addition to me, and fits into the way Sami wants us to play. Crofts played in that role yesterday, and in fairness to him creativity is not part of his game.

I read (well tried) the comments below and could only pick out certain words I knew like "Norwich" and "Cardiff" which does not bode well. Anyone know the translations ?

The comments below the article seem a little bitter. If he terminates his contract we won't have to pay a fee either so seems like good business to me. Not a brilliant goalscoring record but playing as a second striker you're not going to be scoring every game.

Basically saying that he's leaving for the money and it's not right that a second division English club should be able to tempt him away.

Interesting posters with first post information in that thread, this has legs I think and is a possible. Only worry is someone implies he is on a large wedge.

Norwich - City in the fens populated by people who are rumoured to indulge in incest.

Cardiff - City in Wales populated by people who are rumoured to indulge in shagging sheep.

Hope that helps.

In one of his interviews, Orlandi said that Championship teams pay more than most Spanish clubs, and sometimes the money even went into his bank account.

Not sure what platform you are using, but if you use the Chrome browser it will offer to translate the page for you. The results are often amusing, but you get the drift.

Anyone who went to Spain last July would have seen him play against the Albion. He played in the second-half for Getafe, and hit the woodwork twice:-

More of a winger that's enter forward and at 5ft 8 not very tall has had his moments but never reached the heights many thought he could have at 29 it's now or never could be a good move for both player and Brighton only one drawback has some history of falling out with people

 

[blockhseagull]

Looks like a player to fill the supporting role rather than the 'lone' striker role

Be happy with him and another striker in the next week.

 

[Frutos]

I'd be pretty happy with this one, were it to happen.
