I thought Welbs second year was next - time flies!

If he does come back to us next season, I’ve got a feeling some of you are going to end up being a bit disappointed.

I'm delighted with that news.
We properly fluffed our lines up front last night, so that to me is a well timed statement
I take it AN doesn't mention for how long?
4th top scorer in the bundesliga with 15. 3rd in minutes per goal at 1/100mins. Same amount of assists as Harry Kane.
How much would it cost us to sign a player with similar stats? £50m?

Be interesting to see how this plays out given the buy option that Stuttgart have. I hope its true based on his form this season but wonder if RDZ has forgotten about the buy option.
As @Stat Brother said I wonder how long he'll be back
Or perhaps there isn’t a buy option.

It was heavily reported to be there. I think more likely is that certain clauses may now have priced Stuttgart out. Be interesting to see what happens with him

I think he was allowed to go because the club invested heavily in Pedro and thought they had a potential worldie in Ferguson who they expected to play 25+ matches. I don't think any/many people predicted Ferguson to have had the stinker of a season he's had so far. Had Evan had luckier/better fitness/form then no one would be talking about Undav now. He was our 4th choice striker in August and he's 'improved massively' since he's not been here - in a lesser league IMO.

Probably it's a bit lesser, but we're not talking about the Scottish Leagues here. If a player is scoring freely in the Bundesliga and they are on the fringes of the fast improving German national team, they are capable

Best you don't believe everything you read on the internet. And Undav will get his chance to play every week when fit, like Mitoma does

Again I have read how he can’t play DeZerbiball and we are well shot, many many times on here. I have also been surrounded by fans calling him shit during most games he did play
I highly doubt Brighton would have relinquish control when Undav left in the summer. Hence, why it was an option (that Brighton don’t have to accept) rather than a performance based buy obligation.
If the reported option fee of £15M is correct I’m sure Stuttgart would snap that up immediately.

I'll look after the skirt
When he was a studio guest on a local football show here a few months back, the purchase clause was mentioned at the end of the interview. His body language and comments intimated he was happy and wanted to stay. Whether that would be Stuttgart, who knows. They've been something of a yo-yo club between BL and BL2 in recent years but this season they've performed beyond expectation. Their financial situation has previously been sketchy, however unless they implode on the run in they are looking good for a champions league spot next season. That might tempt Stuttgart to 'push the boat out' and pay what is required plus of course it would be an incentive for Undav to stay in Stuttgart. Or there might even be a release clause for Stuttgart to snag him on the cheap? Who knows...
Or maybe RDZ is correct? Until something definite happens, including my view above, it's all speculation. Given his current form plus eventually finding it at the end of last season, I'd be happy to see him get a second chance at proving himself. If he were up for returning of course. Questionable.
