Ostigard returns to Brighton (2 Viewers)

[skylark37]

Just appeared on The Athletic, 'Brighton to cut short Leo Ostigard’s loan at Stoke City'.

'He’s expected to go back out on loan to another club during the January transfer window.'

Mentions that he wanted to cut the loan short due to decreased game time.
I would take him back in a heartbeat. He spoke before about good camaraderie with other squad members while he was here.

Thinking longer term, as excellent as Fadz has been this season we need to start thinking about who will be his successor when he eventually leaves.

Fadz will be fadz successor, fadz is life

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

I agree, snap him up.

 

[Skybluefaz]

Better than Hyam or Rose, I'd say if the opportunity was there to take him back I'd definitely go for it.

With the right investment in modern medical facilities I see no reason why McFadzean can't continue to play for us well into his 70's.

Opted to go to Stoke rather than come back to us for reasons unknown to us mere mortals.
Trot on.

 

[Jamesimus]

On a serious note, would love him back here. Not necessarily as a successor to McFadz, but just as a good loan player who gives his all.

Stoke were promotion candidates pre season, made sense for his development, he wasn't to foresee our meteoric rise.

Also, might have been more of a push from his parent club rather than him personally.

 

[junglej13]

Would love him back

 

[Frostie]

Not for me, far more pressing needs.

 

[higgs]

Come home Leo all is forgiven

Is he better than what we have though, whoever we bring in has to be better than what we have, I like him and he’s young but if he is leaving because of lack of game time will he get it here.
We are rumoured to be interested in another CB Cameron Humphries-Grant be interesting which way this might go. , if true.

I would like to understand why he didn't get game time at Stoke before I went overboard about him returning.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Take him back every day of the week and get him on a free come the summer. It’s a no brainer.

 

[Jagmannn]

If he had stayed here he would be picked every time ........but Rose & Hyam are improving ....so i don't think we need him just now

 

[Sbarcher]

Bring him home....

 

[Happy_Martian]

I would love to see him back. Like Gyko, he excelled after an extended run in the team, something he hasn't had at Stoke for whatever reason.

But....

How much of the Stoke move was down to the Brighton management ? The decision may have been out of Osti's hands. If he chose to move there, does that mean he felt he'd achieved what he needed with us and wanted another challenge. Coming back won't change that from the players perspective.

My bigger concern is if he came back, would that would push Hyam out or over to left CB where he struggled at times last season? We've got a reasonable balance at the back. Osti may shift that balance out of whack a bit too far.

 

[wingy]

He's out of contract in the summer isn't he?

 

[shmmeee]

As much as I love the guy, I’d pass. We need other positions more and it would leave us over stuffed at RCB.

 

[fatso]

Yes please

 

[Kieranp96]

Idc that he chose stoke over us, he wanted to try something diffrent it failed i would snap him uo instantly if he is made available to us for £ or a free.

 

[Garryb80]

Given Robins said our January budget was non existent we aren't signing ostigard.

 

[higgs]

What kind of price would he be in January if he's on a free in the summer?

Needs to sell a whole brick.

Zero he can walk now.

 

[higgs]

Would there be any compensation to be paid in the summer if he goes on a free?

Hmm depends on what happens with JCS & Maatsen but assuming both stay no thanks!
Think we are well covered defensively so would need to pursue loans in midfield/acm dept and possibly another striker,

 

[wingy]

Depends whether it's looked at from an investment POV really.
A season or two here where could his value be at?

 

[higgs]

The lad could potentially be an international probably fits the club's business model he could be worth a lot if he improves

I think it was a financial. As he'd proven himself at Championship level his loan fee went up and Stoke have more dosh than us.

 

[stupot07]

I loved last season but I can't see him being happy to sit on the bench here either.

More of a goal threat than Walker and O'hare combined.
