InglewoodJack Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 If anything, he feels like where Larin was with Brugge. He can score goals if they give him play time, but he’s not playing; and also in his case, his team sucks too. Curious where he goes next. He had a great end of season last year, I think he’s still got it in him. Corazon and Cadeau 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Lower end of the Championship would make sense and should provide him with much needed playing time. Could also make the argument it could put him back in his comfort zone playing in his home country.

He had 5 goals in 14 games for Troyes last year. 16 in Belgium two years ago. I think he could give any team in championship some good contributions. I could see Watford taking a shot on him as a reclamation project. johnyb, Corazon and nolando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordan Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Re: Rangers Beale said in the interview today he’s looking for key players. Beale does like picking players he’s worked with before, so he would likely fit into the way the club play. 3.5 mil for this years output makes it hard for me to believe he would be a key player.

He scored at a great rate in belguim. His minutes to goals were good when he first went to troyes. Is it all that much different to Larin? If he finds a team that will give him service and minutes in ligue 1 , he could very well net 10 goals a year. It's a tall order but not that outlandish.

I mean, look at Larin, he went from not scoring in Belgium to scoring a lot in Spain. Ugbo was an England youth player and Chelsea academy player. I think those things are going to put him on the radar of more clubs than our players typically might be on. I’d be shocked if he actually went to Burnley, but he’s a cheap high potential player who if he plays well and they stay up, he’s a steal, which they need to identify to stay good, if he plays well and they get relegated, they can sell for a profit. And if they stay up and he sucks, well, €3.5M is pocket change in the premier league Corazon, Jack1997, king1010 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Rangers seems like a good fit. Surprised people would turn their noses up at Burnley though. Playing in the premiership in a progressive style team managed by a highly rated and respected Vincent Kompany would be huge imo. I simply don't believe they would be interested in him though. Certainly as nothing more than a squad backup player. Corazon, Jack1997, InglewoodJack and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could consistently start for a Premier League team, I can’t see how anyone would be upset about that. kacbru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) It’s easy to forget we’re talking about a 24 year old English domestic player here who has already scored a bunch of goals in Belgium and France. There aren’t many English players like that available. 30 goals in 97 games over the past 3 years (many as a sub) isn’t a bad strike rate.

FreddyCanuck Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Ugbo is like any other striker: give him the right system and regular minutes, he'll provide a solid output of goals. He proved it at Troyes last year and in his first year in Belgium. He even did decently well in his sparse time on the pitch with Genk. Not out of the realm of possibility that he stays in a top five league, or ends up at a big club again in a Belgium or Portugal. I'm with you guys on Burnley, though. The only conflict is how often he'd play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronaldo7 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I like the idea of going to Rangers and banging in a bunch of goals. Feels like a sure thing. And a sure thing feels like what he needs at this point in his career. Ruffian and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Rangers would seem the opportunity, be a part of the rebuild there. Burnley seems a strange one. They did have a lot of strikers but their top goal-scorers are on the wings (Tella, who might want to stick around, Benson Manuel who they bought last year ). Ashley Barnes (7 goals) has left but Jay Rodriguez (10) has at least another year it looks like. They bought a younger South African Lyle Foster and I think they have to buy Michael Obafemi though I he didn't play much in the last half of his loan. And technically Weghorst is coming back from Manchester United. The talk of Ugbo going there probably goes back a year when Kompany was linked after seeing him at his best in the Belgian league.
