I made no judgement on whether he'd be any good in the Prem or not. Just comparing stats. Odds are, he'll have less time on the ball in the Prem. That'll mean more pressure to get the shots away, which will likely mean his accuracy and conversion numbers will come down. How far down, though? It...

Conversion rate 13% ... I'm going to assume he's not taken any penalties. In which case, Brighton as a team are only managing 8% conversion (not including pens) this season.

Potter is no where near as bad as Hughton was. We'd still be waiting to see Lamptey play if we still had Hughton. Welbeck got a run far earlier than any Hughton signings that I can recall as well. For me, with Hughton, a new signing meant waiting until the next season to see them play. At least...
