Bruno was certainly a big signing, he'd was in Valencia's Champions League squad (made the bench but never got on) the season immediately before joining us and played in a few games as they made the Europa League semi finals, including a man of the match performance at Stoke in the first knock-out round, I seem to remember Stoke fans raving about him and a few posting on here when we signed him. If we signed a player who was able to tick either of those boxes this summer I'd be very very happy.

Didn't you write the same about the French Ligue 2 the other day? Does every European second tier equate to the Ryman Premier/South?
I think you're talking nonsense.
Christ knows what you'd think of the Austrian Erste Liga...

They ARE shite compared to the English Championship !
And my comparison with the Ryman is about right.
They are not much better than the Scots 2nd and 3rd Division, county level football almost. Been there seen it, watched it dreadful.
We got very very lucky with Ulloa, very lucky.
Do you honestly think we should be looking in the lowest divisions of France and Spain for quality players good enough to use in the Championship ?
We have been there and done that and it hasn't worked, has it ?
I think its you talking nonsense ha ha ha !!!

He's scored against Real Madrid whilst he was playing in the la Liga.
Just saying.

Against who?
Like I said, Ulloa has scored against Real Madrid in the top flight of spanish football. Hardly an unknown signing from the depths of Spanish football.
Just saying...

There are a lot of big clubs, bigger than Brighton is (and, sadly, probably ever will be) in the second divisions in Germany, France, Spain etc. To say the standard is Ryman level is laughable.
Mahrez (Le Havre) and Knockaert (Guingamp) at Leicester
Kondogbia (Lens) at Monaco, owned Arsenal in midfield this season
Varane (Lens) at Real Madrid, one of the best young central defenders in Europe
Schneiderlin (Strasbourg)
All of these players were signed from Ligue 2 with no top-flight experience.
I could go on...
With the right scouting there are real bargains to be had!!!

Does it matter that it was against Real Madrid? Occasionally, players score goals. That actually happens to be apart of football. Incredible, isn't it?

He was on the field for us for a total of 534mins, the equivalent of just under 6 full matches. It's not really fair to write him off based on so little game time. With more time, in the right position we may have got more out of him.

Agree, he was written off on here after a couple of games, but that was quite generous compared to Obika's 10 minute trial by jury.

Yes as it shows he's played top flight level football before joining us.
Some people are making it out as if he was totally unknown before we signed him.

I'm in the minority and thought he did have a good touch and bit of class., in fact I thought he was the only player that Tshearer linked well with during attack.
