[Albion] Andone

[Machiavelli]

It's an option but there will be a point that it will be automatically triggered depending on what is stated in the contract. He's highly unlikely to meet those clauses as he's simply not playing enough and very unlikely to figure going forward in La Liga, today is only his sixth appearance of the season (3 starts, 3 sub appearances) across all competitions.



He'd already be back I think but Cadiz must be having a bit of an injury/covid problem, their bench has been short in numbers the last few matches, so maybe they are leaving it till nearer the end of the window to send him back when players are fit etc. Apart from two recent games in the Copa Del Ray he has only figured once off the bench for them since October in the league playing a grand total of 35 mins. I get the feeling he's playing at the moment cause they simply don't have anyone else.

Thanks for this. You're remarkably on top of information. Is relaying it a welcome distraction from work, or have you given up on that?

I'm mainly a stay at home Dad at the moment, it helps keep my mind occupied and is a distraction from having to do the hoovering or something equally as mundane.

Andone scored the goals that kept us up one year re the two 1-0 wins v huddersfield

Which is more points than Locadia ever won us to me

Unfinished business……

One of those Huddersfield games finished 2-1 to us, Shane Duffy got the other goal.

You could make the argument that any player who scored a goal in a single goal victory kept us up that season, including Locadia who scored the only goal in the 1-0 home win over Everton. He also won us a point against Arsenal and scored two vital goals (and converted in the penalty shoot-out) on our FA Cup run that season.

The only thing that raises Andone up slightly from Locadia levels of rubbish is that he was about 1/3rd the cost and did score that goal against Palace. Take away the Palace goal and their contributions are pretty similar.

yeah forgot away game was 2-1 - was right behind goal that Andone scored away game winner into - he came across as if he cared and goal meant something to him - never seemed to get that vibe from Locadia - though suppose you could just say Andone was a bit of a wayward sort

 

[Hugo Rune]

On the bench for this evenings game against Osasuna. Hopefully he gets some more minutes and grabs a goal or two.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Andone on.

His team are 2-0 down, he has 30mins to make a difference.

 

[Taybha]

Has he decked the ref yet

Just got a yellow after his arm connected with a player as he jumped. The player took a big dive. No way was that any where near a yellow, Andone was justifiably furious but avoided nutting the ref.

Edit - Just nutted an opposition player but got away with it.

Can we get him back for the Palace match?

Cadiz just sacked their manager. Possibly a nice chance for Andone to start over.

Or somebody new to fall out with

Deportivo La Coruna on their way up to the Spanish second division. I'd guess it is one of the most likely destinations for him. Obviously they can't pay him whatever Brighton is paying him, but then again no one will so I'm guessing the club would accept any kind of deal as long as at least a part of his wage doesn't have to be paid.

Getting that way l would think. Such a shame, until comparitively recently l had hoped he would still have some sort of future at the Albion.

Obviously not to be though.

Yeah same here.
I continually argued that his stats under Hughton were very good.(they were) But he was never given the chance.

We probably now know that was because of his attitude, more than Hughton's dependence on Murray.

 

[B-right-on]

Still here. Thought he'd be off by now. Glimmer of a chance he'll be in the 25?

Don't think so myself.

 

[Justice]

And to think we almost paid £20m for him. He was far better than Locadia tthat was obvious.

You never know, TB seems reluctant to terminate contracts so could be like Locadia last year. But still I wouldn't be surprised if the club and Andone go separate ways once the transfer window closes.

Don't see any chance that any team would actually pay for him or take him on his current wages.

We paid 5-6 million
