[Albion] Odsonne Édouard

[SeagullinExile]

That's the spirit.

Shitehouse, never really wanted him anyway!

Tbf, I didn't say he was shitehouse. I said the league he currently plays in is!

 

[Hampster Gull]

Trialist at the big match today

 

[chaileyjem]

One consistently good player amongst that lot Veltman. The others injury prone and prospects White wasn’t a new signing.

You called it laughable...

 

[chaileyjem]

Journalists thrive from exclusives that’s what makes them stand out from the crowd. Embarrassing for Owen and Naylor that some random twitter account scooped our last signing before they did.

.

Except that Twitter account just lifted some info - and added a few sprinkles on top like the wrong contract/fee details - from a Salzburg Facebook page by an African journalist who was close to Mwepu.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Jem is right. I'd have a lot more time for all these clickbait sites if any of them had forecast the Mwepu deal. That's more what the club is (and should be) about these days, keeping their cards close to their chest. It's almost as if someone there played poker. When information gets out about possible signings, there's the danger of gazumping or hijacking, as we've seen before. A small danger, admittedly, but why give away any potential advantage?

As for outgoing transfers such as White, the more people know about them, the better, and the more the price goes up. Would Arsenal have given us the price we're led to believe they have without suggestions that Chelsea and Everton were interested?

 

[b.w.2.]

Where have you been the last 24 hours?

We ARE doomed.Championship football beckons!

No, I did not say that Mr Mainwaring

Surprised to see this thread still going?!

 

[Pavilionaire]

We were toothless today. Maupay, Connolly, Andone all played. We can't go on like this.

 

[mike1901]

Of course it’s not true, the lad will probably end up at Brentford score a ton of goals they will then sell for zillions and we will end up with 0 goal Bulgarian Barry from some shite arsed European league.

That’s just my worry.

 

[Sheebo]

Time to let this thread slide away now I feel, as we know it isn’t likely to happen…

Well, we have time. But we only need to sign a Muzza 2 IMHO. Yes a LWB would be good too

My son has just flown back from Glasgow after spending a week there, he was saying the deal is all over the Scottish press someones not telling the truth here.

The Daily Record have run a story about the Albion registering an interest in the player but there's been nothing more concrete - just speculation.

There wasn’t exactly a lot of service. I don’t remember any of them getting a chance let alone missing one.

Thought there were a couple in the first half that we didn’t use the ball well enough when Rangers were open.

Second half there literally wasn’t one until Andone created a quarter chance himself at the end.

Anyone looking at yesterday's game as an example of the lack of threat of our strikers are way off the mark.

Our first pre-season match, featuring two very makeshift 11s, playing 45 minutes each, against the Scottish champions, who are one week away from starting their campaign.

In fairness anything that can be speculated about Rangers or Celtic is in the papers in Scotland. If a player gets a blister it's injury news or if someone has a picture of a player's new car there's a photo online.
They will near enough report anything they can possibly mention about the Old Firm clubs. It's relentless.

 

[southstandandy]

From Brian Owen last summer: “Albion have also tracked Odsonne Edouard at Celtic for some time”. So he was either wrong then or is wrong now.

But the Albion are likely to be 'tracking' numerous players every season (at home and abroad) - it's their job. Doesn't necessarily mean any of them will come.

That’s true for sure, but doesn’t tally with the ‘never been interested’ line in yesterday’s article from the same journalist.

Where is this "never been interested" article ?

I can't find where that has been said.
