[Albion] Carlos Baleba SINGS a 5-year deal

[Cordwainer]

Quality cameo. Thought he was just what we needed to make sure Bournemouth couldn’t get a sniff. Great to have someone in there with real physical presence again and the extra freedom seemed to bring the best out of Billy.

Completely agree. Until Baleba came on BG was covering acres in an attempt it appears to play the DM role..did his best but bounced off some of the Bmuff giants! Soon as Baleba was on BG able to play a more attacking role. So refreshing to see Baleba hassle players in possession, win back the ball and have the confidence to run with it..instrumental in the 3rd goal.

He’s going to single-handedly rehabilitate the Kemy Agustein body shape, which we in the 14 stone-plus community welcome

Jimmy Case MK2 different haircut I suppose but other than that an absolute ringer for Jimmy,let's hope when he shoots it's also very Casey.

He reminded me of a young Harry Belafonte.

He's a big old unit for sure. Cue wisecracks about having two Fati's on the pitch

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

What a great introduction.

Well played.

 

[Live by the sea]

He’s an exceptional talent & exactly what was missing in the first half today .

 

[Zeus]

The kid looks an utter Beast for a 19 year old. Very very promising start.

 

[drew]

Thought he had a brilliant cameo. Got his foot in just like Caicedo used to do and one of those led to the third goal. Hope he gets a full game at Chelsea on Wednesday.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I'm ignoring all the skills and focusing on the fact it's a long time since we had such a Big Unit in midfield.
Noice.

He looked promising but he’s got some way to go before he can be compared to Rohan Ince.

 

[Live by the sea]

I’m actually hoping he doesn’t play against Chelsea , don’t want him getting injured in one of our less important games .

 

[Eggman]

Might be the first Albion player I’ve seen in plain black boots with white tongue since about 1999. Delightful

Jeff Minton?

There's definitely some ' junk in the trunk ' !

He’s only a screamer at Swindon (a) away

 

[Hugo Rune]

He’s a big job isn’t he. Bigger and faster than I thought he’d be. Very tenacious.

Didn’t realise during the match he is only 19, what a player we have, awesome,. Just hope we have him for longer than 2 seasons but one on the big boys will be sniffing around by next summer if he continues to play like that.

 

[lawros left foot]

So good, Chelsea already have a £200m offer ready, and want to talk terms on Wednesday

Too late!!

Fab says he agreed terms in July, and won’t be training until the club accept Chelsea’s offer.

 

[Napier]

He’s a big job isn’t he. Bigger and faster than I thought he’d be. Very tenacious.

Run, Carlo, run! He was immense during his short cameo today. Very exciting prospect, I didn't realise he was only 19!

 

[worthingweird]

The King is dead, long live the King...

 

[WATFORD zero]

Very exciting.

Best debut since Alan Duffy

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Didn’t realise during the match he is only 19, what a player we have, awesome,. Just hope we have him for longer than 2 seasons but one on the big boys will be sniffing around by next summer if he continues to play like that.

I could even see him fitting in for one of the top 3 sides in the country
