Personally think this all hangs on whether he is considered disruptive to the squad not what he is like on the pitch as normal selection process will take care of that. It appears he is training on his own, would that be the norm for someone just back from injury or is it he is being isolated?

As long as he is not disruptive I would give him a chance, we need all the options we can.

A lot of puritanical claptrap on here, personally I have always loved the headcases and those whose passion brims over.

Your Jimmy Case and Doug Rougvie of yesteryear

Knocky, Maupay and Andone....

nowt wrong with a dash of red blood, its harnessing it

you certainly could add Dunk to that list especially when we play palace.

As you say a bit of hot blood is not a bad thing, up to his team mates and captain to try to regulate.

I think having the potentially career ending injury that he had, he will be desperate to play football and make a good impression. That means he will have to behave if he wants to get a chance.

DOS/VSE to MVS conversions. Those were the days, jumpers for goalposts :wink:

I started on ICL 1900 , all punch cards and all jobs run single threaded by the operator on the operating console then upgraded over to IBM and various minis (the size of minis)

My mate had MVS running on a raspberry PI machine which is surreal.

The real disappointment for me is that we won't get to see David Luiz's face when he realises we are starting with Andone and Maupay up front

There's always next season though :thumbsup:

He’s the missing nasty irritant little shithouse I honestly think we are missing.

He’s a natural finisher and works hard.

My only concern is him and Maupay will try to out shithouse each other if they are both playing.

Imagine the return and scoring the winner against palace

I’ve always liked him

This is absurd. Some people actually want rid of Andone, a proper in-yer-face NASTY striker just returning from injury, over Welbeck who is earning very nice wages (except he probably thinks he's doing us a favour on that score) and who might as well never have been signed for all the impact he's made. Ditto Lallana by the way. Why do we throw money at these people? :shrug:

One of the biggest issues with him is that did get a few yellow cards. This got him substituted much earlier and often than we would have wanted. We needed him out on the pitch.
As I’ve said earlier, let’s hope he’s matured and learnt a bit!

I don't think that is what I'd going on.

He scored a few in a side which barely created anything. In the chances he had, he clearly knew what he was doing.

He's clearly a more natural finisher than anyone else at the club.

If he can get full fitness back, he will do very well in this side

All of this!

He's barely had a sniff with us.
Playing off scraps under Hughton and barely starting.

His premier league stats for us are:
4 goals from 20 shots
944 minutes played
3 big chances missed

Maupay's are:
17 goals from 144 shots
4308 minutes played
18 big chances missed.

I'm hoping he is still the same player he was before injury.
If so he is genuine competition for Neal.

I like him and I’m glad he’s back

Another option, as for his comments about us when he left some amount of salt should be taken

Newspapers need to be sold

I don’t think he’s any better than Maupay but I don’t think he’s any worse either

Some on here making it out he’s the devil incarnate, so just a reminder......
One red card.
He ran his balls off when he played.
If he ruffled feathers in the squad, so what?
He’s not the first player to talk out against his club in the press when things aren’t going his way. Again, so what?

This..... I’d defy any slightly emotional pro footballer not to be pissed off if Jurgen Locadia ever starts ahead of you!

3 yellows in his 9 starts for the club.

He was subbed off in every game he started. So yes that would be much more than he wanted.
However that had more to do with Hughton than it did Andone.

He clearly felt he was good enough to be starting more often than he did.
I think he started 8 or 9 times for us and was subbed off in every one, normally for Murray to shore up the defence.

Clearly a premier league level striker for me.
