Watch Club Brugge sign him as their Larin replacement and see him get exactly as many minutes, lol. But with his success in Belgium, I would not be surprised if a team there is willing to give him a chance. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd He's an Australian that was only hired on November 23. From sister club Melbourne City. Patrick Kisorbo Have to wonder if he will get turfed soon too. They are basically in the relegation battle now after a decent start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Better some playing time in Belgium than the bench at a bottom tier club in France. Dominic94, PegCityCam and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Seems like a fresh start would be a good development. Even if the league is a step down it may be at the level where he could get lots of minutes. Plus it would be interesting to directly gauge him vs Jebbo.

frmr Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Could possibly be a fantastic move for him. Troyes obviously isn't working out, and if he can find form again in the Championship and starts banging them in, depending on how Larin does, we will have a three-horse race for our second striker position between him, Larin and Jebbison (if/when he commits). costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InglewoodJack Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 He's been able to maintain more or less a 15ish goal per (full) season in Netherlands 2nd div, Belgium and France, so it's clear all he needs is playing time to score goals. I think if he goes to a team that will play him regularly, we can expect more or less what we saw with Troyes last year. It's a lower level, but it'll be interesting to contrast him and Larin both playing regular minutes in solid leagues. Larin would be playing in a much better league of course, but Larin is playing for another contract in Spain, and Ugbo is trying to get himself into the premier league. If they're both playing, all of a sudden we have some solid striker depth. costarg, Corazon and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 It is interesting that a few of our guys either (allegedly) have or had issues re attitude, motivation, etc. Ugbo apparently. I think this has been mentioned with respect to Larin in the past. The main thing holding Okello back seems to be his intensity level. Tabla had well documented mentality barriers. And it seems like there are others - though I am a tad hungover and drawing a bit of a blank right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the CANMNT boys show up in Europe saying "That's not how Herdman does it" and pisses off their managers. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeRo_Is_King Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Maybe the feeling that he hasn't been given a fair shake is setting in. Honestly, I think it's warranted. But life isn't fair. He has to take his opportunities whenever he can. That's how he has to look at this. Ugbo is a gifted player and can play at a very high level imo. Wishing him the best and to maximize output on his next run out. Obinna, Ruffian, PegCityCam and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boominbooty Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 At this rate, you sort of wonder if he fades a bit from Canada's focus: out of favour at Troyes. Limited minutes for Canda in any recent games . . . he and Cavalinni seem to be in striker purgatory unlike Larin who manages to reinvent himself just when things are going south.

Stryker911 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Genk transferred Onuacha to Southampton. They are actually pretty slim at CF now. Maybe Ugbo would have been better to have stayed there to fight for a spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodgkiss Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Let's hope he gets a shot soon and takes advantage of it. Scoring a bunch of goals in a short span with Troyes last year should not be overlooked. Sometimes another opportunity can get the best out of someone.
