[Albion] Andone and Locadia

[Simster]

Serious gonads shown by Potter getting rid of these two, but today was honestly the first day that his decision is looking the right one. We spent £35m on those two and for different reasons, they haven't worked out.

It is not just thatbConnolly and Maupay did the business today, but actually more important was that we didn't even use Murray. We can easily get by with these 3 until January imo.

 

[B-right-on]

Exactly. And their miserable faces in the dressing room would not help either.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Yup. Good ridance to the Nutter and DJ Strollabout.

 

[PoG]

Got to say it, today I thought yep GP was right with that move.

 

[Wellesley]

Who?

We can but I would trust potter to get us by no matter what. He’s here as bloom has faith in the academy and potter has faith in youth to listen to him and play with freedom. Connolly and alzate will be worth more than 35 million by the end is this season.

Think it was around £20m as I thought Andone was £6.5m but decision was right

We didn't spend £35 million on Andone and Locadia - far from it.

Connolly > Andone
Alzate > Locadia

Brilliant, bold management. Getting rid of two players with attitude problems, bring in two phenomenally exciting prospects from our successful U23's. Amazing.

They’ve also got far more mobility and stamina than shown by Andone and Locadia. An irritation for opponents.

Can’t beat a hunger to succeed. Those with full bellies seem to spend too much time relaxing.

 

[driller]

The club have resurrected the no dickhead policy hence the departures.

 

[Simster]

I said this weeks ago. Give me two guys with potential and a motivation to succeed than over two proven failures.

Some of the posts on here from grown men were absolutely embarrassing in late August, bleating as though we had released Messi and Suarez rather than Florin ****ing Andone.

So did I, and I concur with everything you say now - but regardless of what you and I thought, it wasn't our job on the line.

The bottom line is that Locadia was expensive and Andone scored some crucial goals last season. Putting his faith in kids to replace those two took some serious stones.

 

[ewe2]

These two young players will be worth more that the loses on Andone and Locardia IMO

 

[zefarelly]

Progress.

Makes a change from, say, selling our best best player to pay a bill.

 

[blue-shifted]

Hands up, I was strongly against Andone departing and I was wrong.

Strong management by GP. The squad know now that they toe the line or they're out. They'll all toe the line

 

[Palacefinder General]

I very much doubt it was solely GP's decision to ship them out.

 

[ac gull]

Murray will be having a massive impact behind the scenes even if doesn't play much rest of this season

Some of Connolly's ways of getting the foul against him today were straight out of the Murray textbook of last few seasons

We could even find all three of them get goals in double figures this season

 

[Hampster Gull]

Big gonads

When I saw the line up, I was surprisingly excited and had to pause to check. I felt that the last thing their CBs needed today was a wasp like AC buzzing around and SA looked like he had played plenty of top flight games given his performance at Newcastle.

Shipping out 'big' signings and promoting the kids was brave and a bit of a gamble. Balls of steel our Mr Potter.
