So, it took quite some time to reach U-dog thread. On like 4th page or so.
I read in some other topics something along the lines that "if we do not push on we risk losing the top talents such as Bergvall, Vuskovic and Udogie" (might not be 100% accurate) and I smirked a bit to be honest. And thought to ask from others what is your view of Udogie at this point in time.
Cause in my view he had a really shit season. And at this moment, in my books personally, he is not even a starting player. Last season Udogie was supposed to be this attacking wide player with slight side quest of sometimes defending too (in which he still somehow kind of failed - made mistakes one on one and just failed to get back). But despite that he returned ... 0 goals and 1 assist. And beyond those obvious metrics, he did not really brake forward with needed urgency either. By the end of season Spence was far better player there - basically both defensively shaky but Spence carrying the ball and attacking with purpose.
I am not saying that Udogie is shit footballer, nor we should write him off or sell to first bidder or anything like that - absolutely not. Last season was a shitshow all around and everyone who are dedicated and determined should and will get a new chance. Just that somehow his performances last season don't get too much attention in my view. Hope he returns back to his best under Frank though.
Everyone had a shit season so that doesn't mean much...slate gets wiped clean as far as I'm concerned.
And RE:Spence he even went backwards after 2 months of good form so I'm not sure he did overtake him in the end.
