Thoughts on how he played last night? Does he still look quality?

If he were available, unlikely I know, how would he fit into the Albion side and in place of who?

How many players have left Albion and come back and been better than they were before they left??

Class player, final delivery better than anything we've got currently. looks a threat running towards goal. doesn't have Buckley's or KLL's pace, but not far off.

He would walk into my Brighton team in place of Buckley.

Virtually every player who has come back is past their best though as we always seem to get them back at the end do their careers, Crofts aside who has been a big disappointment...so far.

I can think of one who came back better than when he left and became quite influential though - Dean Wilkins

Doesn't have the trickery of players like Lua Lua or Nathan Redmond (who scared the hell outr of our defence last night) or the outright pace of Buckley, but critically can actually deliver a killer ball in to the box. Ulloa would have a goal fest with Benno feeding him.

Redmond was class last night,Norwich best player award ...would like someone like him in the team...

This. Looked like premiership football has turned him into a moaning billy big bollocks and I personally didn't think he stood out of their team Redmond was by far the bigger threat and Masimenko did well against Bennett, perhaps it's only me though because I wasn't overly enthused by the whole thing

Never really understand the fascination about getting former players back. The most recent example in Crofts has been a real disappointment ... was hoping he'd really improve after the summer break but judging by pre season alone he hasn't, and now thinking he doesn't deserve a start at Leeds

he barely got a look in last season, just the odd appearance off the bench

what looked like moaning was probably just frustration with trying to impress

will be even tougher for him to get game time this season
