[Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

[The Fits]

Ryan and Duffy too.

 

[Mellotron]

Tau, impossible to tell. He's looked good enough in his few cameos

Jury's out for me. Really nice through ball for Welbeck's goal recently but have also seen him look very ineffective with a poor touch in other games.

Needs more game time though.

 

[Swansman]

Ryan and Duffy too.

And Bernardo... Locadia... Gyökeres... possibly Clarke. And possibly a few youngsters.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

The opportunity to push the ball through to Trossard v Arsenal was a golden opportunity to play the simple ball. He fluffed it really badly. Can't judge a guy on one mispass, but that was a moment when I thought - if we're going to progress, we have to have players that will nail that pass 9 times out of 10. I have no confidence he will do that.

Wonder if he'll get a loan somewhere in England. Would probably be a fair number of takers. The guy is 27 though, I'm not expecting a lot to happen though tbf it can take a long time to adapt.

So.....

Ali J
Izzy
Tau
I am concerned long-term with Welbeck and Lallana regarding injuries
Maupay and Connolly must give cause for concern.

Valid concerns I suppose
I d add LWB to that Although BDB is an integral part of the squad imho

 

[The Fits]

Can we afford to clog the team up with players like Tau just in case they come good, or just for the odd decent pass?
Definitely rather keep Connolly, and give him more game time, then the likes of Tau and Ali J.

 

[maresfield seagull]

I'll help you with this: -

Maupay - Sell and replace
Ali J - Loan or Sell
Connelly - Loan
Tau - Loan
Loco - Give away/cancel contract
Izzy - Dont renew contract
Propper - Sell

OK
As Fits says below add Duffy and Ryan to that list

 

[DJ NOBO]

It already did start somewhere. Where? Depends on how you see it. 1997 (or maybe before that, in the events that lead to it) is a good take, when the club went from the hands of destruction and greed into the hands of a fan, and stayed that way ever since. So it began in the bottom of Division 3. In a borrowed ground in Gillingham. Since then a few things obviously happened, and the club is now the 16th best in England. Blind optimism? "See us right?" The club has been on the right path for a good while and its not through blind optimism, its hard work, planning, intelligence, dedication and a few £100m spent by Tony Bloom.

Your response? "Feck this blind optimism that havent seen us right - I need Tony to invest another £100-150m in fancy footballers or I'm going to look and act like Wilfried Zaha dropping his icecream at age 7".

How many Swedes know this much about Brighton and Hove Albion’s history? I’m going for one.
It’s part impressive, part weird.
Keep up the good work , Swansman.

Thought he has done better with the chances he has had lately. Trouble is the opinion that matters would appear to disagree? Early and often 1st sub doesn't suggest that Potter has been overly impressed and might suggest he's in the shop window instead?

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lens]

Jury's out for me. Really nice through ball for Welbeck's goal recently but have also seen him look very ineffective with a poor touch in other games.

Needs more game time though.

Incidentally, Ali J put a similar sort of pass through to Welbeck at Leicester (league game) : Welbeck missed the 1v1 on that occasion.

Exactly this. Pretty much started when we were safe to, right?

 

[AZ Gull]

AJ captained the Iranians to a 3-1 win over Hong Kong today in a World Cup/Asian Cup qualifier in Bahrain. Getting some love on the Persian Football discussion board where he was regarded as MOM by some - Persian Football - Player ratings

 

[albionalex]

Unused sub vs Bahrain today.

That's a brilliant photograph.
And just look at that Amex crowd, it will be amazing if we get back to full capacity crowds in August.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Don't get the snide comments about him tbh.

Decent player, great attitude, with the best shot in the club.
It just hasn't really come together for him here.

If Ajax want him, for a decent fee, I'll wish him all the best.
If not, I have no problem with him being one of our subs next season.

It is isn't it. Aaron Connolly standing upright on both feet

Agree you can’t criticise the bloke for attitude or effort, it’s just really not clicked for him and the Prem is just probably not suited to the type of player he is. You could see him storming most other European leagues that give players more time on the ball.
