He plays for Gent.There are some good clubs in Argentina, but context is important.
The Argentine league has 28 teams with a lot of garbage at the bottom playing a single round-robin, the Belgian has only 18 in which Genk was in a season-ending playoff series against the better teams. Genk was also in the Europa League last year and Orban has a hattrick in the Conference League this year, whereas Veliz' Rosario Central hasn't been in the continental competitions while Veliz has been there.
All in all the teams Orban has played against are much stronger than those Veliz played against.
Veliz did score a brace in a 3-3 draw against River Plate on July 24th, that's pretty good. That might be available for replay on Paramount Plus maybe I could fire that up...
That's another thing with Veliz though, he arrives here having just finished a full season at a pretty tender age. Giving him some time and a "pre-season" would do him some good, whereas Orban is ready to rock.
Based on what (other than blind optimism)?
There really aren't that many quality wide left footed forwards who are "affordable". I hope Spurs are scouting Syrian-Swede, Roony Bardghji. He's still only 17 (turning 18 in November) so it's hard to predict how he'll develop.
Roony Bardghji - Player profile 22/23
Roony Bardghji, 17, from Sweden ➤ FC Copenhagen, since 2021 ➤ Right Winger ➤ Market value: €2.00m ➤ * Nov 15, 2005 in Kuwait City, Kuwaitwww.transfermarkt.com
Think Duranville is a bigger talent and as old + same position.
To put it another way, the Premier League was invented to control the direction of revenue in the game.
They control it in a certain way now. If they decided it suited them, they could choose a different way.
It's all going rather well for the PL at the moment, I don't think there's any inclination toward throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But they have options to address the City Problem to the extent that desire arises.
He was good outside of the fact that he should've conceded a pen.
The PL are instructed by the clubs, the owners would need to vote 15/5 (and face the risk of those owners making their own PL with hookers and blackjack).
I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you, just providing context that it was this way-ish but the PL was invented so only 20 teams vote for their own interests rather than the full Football league
Why fire him when you can sell him for 10 or 20m?
That is more than I expect Spurs to get for the pair.
Yeah they’re queuing round the block for that opportunity aren’t they?!
Gift Orban looks like a cracking player, but I wonder: what would Scarlett do with a season in the Jupiler Pro League?
I'm thinking he'd probably tear it up too.

There'll be a taker. I would say Greater Fool theory, but we'll definitely take a loss.Yeah they’re queuing round the block for that opportunity aren’t they?!
Ok Orban to Spurs with Scarlet to the other way on loan will be a masterpiece.
Sadly , the player has a contract worth £200,000 per week and if he doesn’t want to go , we’re fucked . The lazy bugger is content just to pick up his wages until the end of his contract
I’d cancel the contract, pay him what he’s due and tell him to fuck off. In reality clubs hold onto players like this because they think some mugs will eventually pay something for them. I’d rather take the hit and get rid.
He was signed by Bor, Dortmund this summer...so out of Spurs' reach for now.
