Funny how the majority of people are saying that he was a decent player . I’m inclined to agree that I think he was worth another season but he wants regular games and he’s going to get that at Crawley. He’ll poach a load of goals , but in a relagation scrap most likely.

Really surprised by this. He played really well in the cup games, and clearly had potential. Someone said that Hurst called him the best finisher at the club.
I gather he scored plenty of goals in NLN, but then looking at our new forward players they all seem to come with L1 or high L2 experience so maybe Hurst is going for players who have already cut their teeth at this level. Maybe we are seeing a serious quality upgrade.
It does suggest that another striker is on the cards. Umerah perhaps? That would really get the juices flowing!

Decent player, worked hard when he got the chance. In the right team could score a few goals. Don't think we were the right team for him. Wish him well.

Or at the very least, are about to add better options. As it stands, Abo Eisa and Donovan Wilson are our tallest forwards at a middling 5ft 11”.
This may well simply be a symptom of the tactical luddite that I am, but it would be a source of mild concern to me if we went into the season in that position.
I am told we are still in the market for a 23-24 lumpaldinho

Hurst didnt see enough to start him on a regular basis. Didn't fit into our system. Not a target man nor someone with enough pace to run off from a central striker and seemingly frustrated to be an impact sub so seems a good deal to except an undisclosed fee for him and look at better options.
Dont think it would be too unrealistic now to go for a Macaulay Bonne or a Tyler Walker. Both now flattered to decieve at a higher level for more than one season but league two winners and worth a punt.
Also this goalkeeping issue needs a bit more money throwing at it or restart conversations with Crocombe if possible. We need someone in place during pre season

He’ll be fondly remembered, mainly for his two displays against Luton, and that serious back injury he got at Southampton but other than that, it’s pretty beige isn’t it.
Perhaps he was a good squad player and decent bloke, I wish him well and hope he gets a fair crack at Crawley but we can do better and the two clubs are on very different paths.
The outcry is odd but each to their own. Times have changed though, we had s guy who scored a sackful yet offered him woeful terms and off he went for absolutely nothing, here we have a guy who, in truth contributed very little and we’ve taken a fee, albeit one that probably covers some costs, but a fee nonetheless…

Not sure why everyone’s getting so worked up, he’s no JMD.

I posted (May 20th) that Orsi was top of the 'xA + xG' stats for the whole of League 2 - so the data suggests there's a useful player there, as many posters have said. I completely agree he needs to be part of a two-up-top formation, and there's your answer: decent player but doesn't suit our system. The move is best for both parties, and it would be no surprise to see him doing very well elsewhere.

He’s at the stage of his career where he needs to be playing games. If last season is anything to go by, Hurst sees him as a squad player, so it makes sense.
Sure Hursty would’ve been fine with him being part of the squad still, but if the player doesn’t want that it’s not fair to keep him here, especially when he’s so far from home.
