Alan Navarro

[Goldstone Rapper]

More than decent League One player, average Championship player.

Can't shoot for toffee

Late winner from 25 yards away at leeds?

I think you will find most Albion fans have a great deal of respect for the bloke because he worked his nuts off to get back into the side under Poyet after a torrid time under Micky Adams who didn't have a clue to get the best out of him.
He will never win a game on his own but he can and often did quietly make our team tick, over the past two seasons. Any tactical manager who prides himself on a passing game in league one ought to be looking at him. And that's if there aren't championship teams sniffing around.

He just moved to a new property locally though!

I thought Slade bought Navarro in?

I thought that the deal was that he was released to look for another club but if he wasn't successful he could come back for pre season and perhaps become a squad member but probably not first choice for the team but I may have misunderstood this. I am surprised that Crawley Bournemouth or Aldershot haven't considered offering him a deal

I believe this was offered, however Navarro was not happy with that, and confident he could find another club (of which he has had a few offers.)

At his age I would imagine he would be looking at a 2 year contract as an absolute minimum, especially if he needs to relocate.

Would be very surprised if he managed to get a club in the championship on those terms.

 

[ees complicated no?]

A good solid player who has been a decent servant for us. As for the comments about easily good enough for the Championship i disagree. It was a step to far for him along with quite a few of our players. I wasn't in the least a bit surprised he was released. Good luck to him..

Agree with this.

This.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

This.

You agreeing with the bit about Micky Adams? Really?

 

[Storer 68]

Didn't do Navs any good tho ddid it , having an "exceptional season" (Quote G.Poyet)

 

[terryberry1]

He would be 1 of the best midfielders in league 1, I heard Crawley were after him. I still think he is too good for league 1. Peterborough or Barsnley would be a better fit

 

[severnside gull]

Before he went on holiday last week he tweeted that he had spoken to a manager about a possible deal - no idea where but as I think he had been staying in Liverpool and travelled on hols from there you might guess it was somewhere in the north rather than down Sussex way.

Good enough to be a Championship squad player because he has a good footballing brain. He is also a smashing bloke. Wish him and his family well whatever happens but I have no doubt he will get himself fixed up

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Navarro deserves another shot in the Championship. He was really came into his own last season and wasn't afraid to get stuck into the likes of Jimmy Bullard and Grant Leadbitter etc.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

He'll do a great job for you, but not as good as Muiry!

It was such a torrid time under Adams that Navarro didn't even sign for the club until six months after Adams was sacked.

Good player, breaks up play, doesn't waste in when he has it, the League 1 David Batty!

 

[empire]

Great player and a gent.

this !!!gutted he has been released

 

[seagullwedgee]

i've seen him play over the last 3 or 4 years inclduing his time at McDons, and I have never seen him as fit as he was for the last few games of last season - he was clearly playing for his future while others took their foot off the gas, and I'm sorry he came up short, I think he's a great champ or league one squad player.

 

[albion534]

Nice guys and average championship players don't get you promoted to the premiership, wasn't surprised at all he was released, as poyet is obviously aiming higher

As for Harley and dicker, bit harder to get rid of players who are contracted, I would imagine if all 3 were on their last year, navs woulda stayed!

A good, solid hard working player who would do extremely well in league 1 provided they play to his strengths
