He's scored 1 in the last 7 years according to Wiki ... should fit in nicely
and lack of goal scoring aside is he really any different to what we already have? (assuming he is not overweight and fit)

A broken record I know but how can we go a whole season right up until last night (2 shots on target) to realise that this is seriously hindering our promotion challenge. I wasn't convinced OG would get us as far up the table as he has when he joined so he has done well. However before we start calling for another forward what about the lack of goals from Lopez, Buckley, Kaz, Andrews even Ince? Crofty aside who else has chipped in with 10-12 goals this season. IMO we are missing a dynamic attacking midfielder who brings something different to the centre of the park. JFC, Andrews, Dale Stevens all very similar players who like passing sideways a lot, work hard for the team but are all average championship players who never chip in with goals to take the weight off of Ulloa. THIS area would be the first place I would recruit for next season, we lack cutting edge in the final third no craft and rarely see a player beat a man in central midfield and run at the oppositions midfield. I wasn't going to go here but even though Vicente was a pain in the ass at least you could bring him on (when fit which was rare) and he would terrorise defenders he was a game winner, who is our game winner in midfield not inc our wide men?
i don't think he is one for running at the opposition either...clearly has some skill..but running a lot doesn't seem one of them...but no matter what we say he is in the dog house ...i don't see him as the saviour ..but an option? He didn't get on the bench for the cup replay...i think that says where he is at with the club

could not agree with you more. I would also add that Poyet and Garcia are both very defensive managers which I think has cost Brighton promotion in successive years. Even when Vicente (head and shoulders above others) was available he was not picked and Lua Lua has been ignored by both managers. How can Rodriguex be preferred to Lua Lua?. The midfield is the major problem and we need a couple of quick footed and pacy players there. JFC Lopez Orlandi Andrews and Stephens are all much of a muchness and we just need a couple of these not 5 or 6!
The jury is seriously out regarding Rodriguez
The jury might be back!
As I have said on a similar thread the type of player we need is a Frank Lampard obviously we couldnt get him but I am trying to think of an older player out of favour that could come in for 8 weeks to do the same kind of job just as Denis Mortimer did some years ago.
I've seen nothing to tell me he's got what it takes, suspect he was brought he as an emergency (cheap) option though the injury "crisis"
It was ... divorce put paid to that
Sounds like Keith Andrews...
For some unknown reason he hasnt been a goalscorer for us but was for his previous clubs.scoring about 1 in every 6 game's
Good choice on the car, sorry to hear about the outcome!
Lopez played DOWN THE MIDDLE creates goals.
I think we are missing Andrea Orlandi's creative influence. He led the team in assists last season I believe.
Dave in the middle, its so obvious.
