[Albion] Bring back Andone and Knocky

[vagabond]

Yes they are both nut jobs, but they have a bit of crazy, are unpredictable and on their day are a nightmare to play against.

We really haven’t replaced these guys. My one consistent problem with GPS teams are that we’re just a bit too nice and polite at times.

I completely get that managing Andone and Knockeart is likely a nightmare. But I think we need an injection of something different, and they’d give us more a threat.

As we don’t seem bothered about signing players maybe this is the best solution?

Good idea. It's excellent management to boot people out because of their unacceptable behaviour, then panic and invite them back again a couple of months later when you're struggling. Can't see any issues there at all.

**** me this board is full of imbeciles today.

You are joking - aren’t you?

This, unless the deal is nailed on why would you show your hand early in the window just to get outbid.

Just like any other day on NSC

Andone is back and crocked, Knockaert can't be recalled. Hope this helps.

Edit: Apparently he's not back, but he is crocked.

Bring back Andone and Knocky

Oh, do wind it in!

Bring back Andone. Because that's what you want when you're low on confidence and about to engage in a battle for survival, bringing in someone who's spent ages telling everyone how shit you are and how they couldn't wait to leave.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Knockaert ( and Locadia, I think ) are on loan-to-buys and we really won't want to tear up those agreed sales. So no chance.

Andone, well if his loan is cancelled and he might be fit for the end of season then there is maybe a chance he gets a squad place so he can score the winner at Burnley and keep us up. You never know.

Andone is a good forward. I don't think the club's issue with him is ability. More like attitude and not getting sent off....... I'd personally hope that calm heads prevail, he and Potter can resolve this and we may see him again before seasons end?

I’m not ITK, so I’m not sure what the situation is with these specific players, but on a general level, I’d take the view that if a particular player is difficult for the manager to manage; tough.

The manager’s job is to get up the league and if he’s farming out the players who give him a personal headache at the expense of that aim, he is putting his job on the line. Not saying that is the case here, but we are alarmingly short of credible forward options.

There are other manager’s in this division who have harder players to manage than Knocky, I’m sure of that

Both of them are better than what we got

We need to get Kevin Thornton back. Still only 33 so probably can still offer something if we need to change things. Just what we need.

I’m not sure playing with 10 men half the time is going to help

I'm not ITK either, many here say Knocky is on a loan to buy, so unlikely he'll be back unless maybe we go down and Fulham up? I'd argue Knocky is a better player than March and Ali J.

Andone as far as I'm aware could come back (once injury resolved) and if bridges could be rebuilt. Andone is not worse than Maupay and is miles ahead of Connolly imho

I'm not sure Knocky is that hard to manage on the whole. I've got a feeling that his move to Fulham came about as he was told he'd be used a lot less this season, likely to be on the bench some weeks, maybe not even in the match day squad some weeks. it's possible that Knocky felt that this might impact his mental health and that moving to another club, a new challenge and a fresh start would be better for him, so the loan (with a view to buy) was the best solution for all. No big falling out etc just a move to benefit a player who needs to be playing regularly at this stage of his career/life.

But a new recruit might have been useful to tip the scales against the weak sides we are currently playing.
