[Albion] Simon Adingra - 20 year old Ivory Coast forward - Signed 24/06/2022
- Thread starter chaileyjem
- Start date
They've just paid that - £55m + £10m - for Solanke.
I'm not in the know but I know something that someone told me.
I hope he's making it up otherwise he's had a serious bang on the head.

Billie T is not my bother. She's just a girl who said Adingra's the one. But she should stick to talking 'bout Son.

Oh I totally agree, I like Adingra, he has got more potential and I'd rather not sell him. However, if the money was good and it enabled us to really further strengthen in another area or two we aren't as strong (CM/RB), I would do it.
Yeh, sure - they need an upgrade on Saka .............................

Too lightweight for me, Hürzeler must think similarly think RDZ did too but didn't many other options available

Liverpool forum too, plenty hope the Gruda ad Rutter signings mean they can get him as Salah replacement.
Funny how most of us seem to have relegated him to the bench already

Looks like they are going for Odobert as their winger signing
The character that Dilbert forgot.
Presumably you are of the opinion that this can never change and he is the complete finished article as a player / human at 22? Best we ship him out then.
Agree with what seems to be popular opinion: good player, but wouldn't be too unhappy if he was sold. Plenty of options in his roles.
At 22, he is arguably where he should be in his development, but I'm struggling to get past what I found when he was first rumoured to the club:
Despite theories like "maybe his agent didn't know his age?", I think this is too close to the VERY common African strategy of pretending players are younger than they are to make them seem more talented.
Maybe its a bit picky, maybe a bit paranoid, but if its indeed correct, it makes a world of difference imho. A 22-year-old Adingra has the chance to become a top level PL winger, a 24-25-year-old Adingra doesn't.

we played an under 18's game against Sutton back in the 80's , last 16 possibly qf can't remember , they fielded 2 over age players , one of them turned out to be 21 ...
we got beat and went home with our tails between our legs but the team in the next round complained and Sutton got booted .

6 goals in his first Premier League season. He could easily develop into a 15+ goal/season winger. I'd be disappointed with anything under £35m. Another fantastic value signing by the club.

Did anyone wanting to sell actually take any notice of him playing at Liverpool away last season? MOTM performance.
If Welbeck could manage to score the easy ones which is asking a lot unfortunately we would have won.

Was that the game when Salah had 12 shots?

Yeah second half was very open as both teams pushed for a winner.

Liverpool had 30 shots, 8 on target. Thankfully, it was a game that Verbruggen was in goal.
