[Albion] Carlos Baleba

[fly high]

You’ll just have to believe it or not but at half time @Papa Lazarou called that substitution and @Bozza and I nodded in sage agreement.

He was absolutely incredible. I’m hopeful that in time and with fitness, Baleba and O’Riley can be the new Caicedo and MacAllister.

Provided that doesn't mean they both leave in the same summer.

I sent a text to my mate in Scotland, an Albion exile, at halftime, saying the same thing, so yes I can believe it!

faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

 

[superseagull1994]

He's going to be incredible when he reaches his peak, I can't even begin to imagine how good that'll be

 

[GrossTurn]

Depends which summer, and what we’ve gone into achieve in the meantime!

 

[dwayne]

Wouldn't look out of place in any team in the world. I can't even imagine the hype if he played for city , Barca or real.

 

[Bozza]

Provided that doesn't mean they both leave in the same summer.

I give my word that neither @Papa Lazarou nor myself are going anywhere.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Immense

that is all.

Wasn’t it a bit out of the left field that Hürzeler gave a mini-half-time interview announcing he was bringing on Baleba to start the second half?

Not seen that before!

 

[BevBHA]

He is absolutely phenomenal. You know how good a player is when just his presence in the team makes the other 10 men more confident. It was like when he came on and it was only 0-1 the rest of lads knew we had a chance

I called it too. It had to happen. Love Ayari but he didn’t have a good game today and was also on a yellow. I was calling for Carlos on minute 30!

 

[saafend_seagull]

We better start playing him every game. Otherwise we won’t be able to enjoy him, sadly he’s 100% gone in the summer. Scary fee given the £110m For caicedo.

 

[Since1982]

Changed the game. We were struggling in midfield first half but dominated it second half. What a player.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Give him the player of the season gong now. Or actually maybe don’t…

 

[portslade seagull]

Well for me it was either Baleba or Igor for MOM not Pedro. Baleba took over and controlled the midfield in the 2nd half

 

[amexer]

Our midfield so poor in 1st half that I was hoping manager would be brave and bring him on at 25/30mins

 

[mothy]

He's been carrying a knock (knee)

No excuse is it

 

[Oh_aye]

Better than Mac.

Certainly at carrying it yes. Mac could recieve the ball in a crowded telephone box though and still move it on.

Blooming awesome, just magnificent

As a cautionary bit of guidance, I'd say to Carlos, you could be the best in the world... If you stay.

As your predecessors haven't really set the world alight and reached the potential they showed whilst with The Albion... And I do think Ali Mac has done well with Liverpool , but he's not going to win a world cup with them
