Apparently had offers from Holland and Germany too but Brighton chose Blackburn due to their possession based style. 

Will be fighting it out with Szmodics for a starting spot but can also cover out wide. Likely pushes Gensilen down the pecking order. Think Blackburn see him as a winger rather than a CAM, though he could cover that role if needed.

If they're seeing him as a winger instead of a CAM, I'd be worried. That's the aul chestnut when it comes to number 10 type players. Can't accommodate you in the middle, so let's put you on the wing. I remember Jack Byrne got that a lot when teams would revert to more direct style. You stick them on the wing, and then everyone wonders why they're a bit sh!te  

Apologies if it was unclear but was talking about Gilsenan that they see more as a wide player than someone who plays centrally. Not Moran, though do think he could get minutes out wide but more so as a wide player that cuts back inside to link up with players. 

Himself and Szmodics have different styles so will be interesting to see how he gets on at Blackburn. Do wonder if Szmodics could play deeper making room for both players in the midfield trio.

Really cant see Szmodics playing deeper, he needs space to run in to. I'd imagine Moran would/could be more effective deeper than Szmodics, although again, it's not really his game. Szmodics can certainly play wide off either flank though.
