[Albion] Florin Andone just tweeted training pics of himself

[Albion in the north]

This is my optimism thread. Everytime I see that its bounced I get all optimistic... Until that optimism is shattered.

 

[Albion Dan]

If we can get him fit I would rather he had a place on the bench than any of the other options available

I’d rather he have a place in the starting 11 over any of the other options available.

That’s not a smile, he’s gritting his teeth in the anticipation of taking out a teammate at the knee...

Anything to read into Andone featuring in the club’s social media pre-match output?

I had a dream last night that we'll win 1-0 tomorrow thanks to Andone coming off the bench to score an 88th minute penalty.

Very unlikely of course, but just in case...

When was the last time he kicked a ball in a competitive match ?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Fingers crossed for Man Utd in three weeks at the latest.

I think that’s a big ask of him as probably 3-4 games before he is even available to get on the bench and with how long he has been out going to take time to build up his match fitness.

He was injured for the first five games including one EFL cup game with an injury we knew about when we signed him and then was suspended for just 3 matches for the West Brom incident. He only picked up 5 yellows and no on pitch reds in that season so his disciplinary record was hardly terrible (yes the West Brom thing was stupid).

He was available for 37 matches in total that season and started just 11, and never started more than 2 games in a row so he never got a fair run.

And Hughton's reliance on Murray was a problem for us and I totally understood why Andone got frustrated with that. We were absolutely dreadful in the second half of that season, actually most of the season, and legend that Murray is, he wasn't contributing enough to the team. He couldn't run much and certainly not at any speed, 1 assist all season and only 4 goals from open play (6 in total) from 25 games from the end of November. That's worse than Maupay's record this season from the same number of games that we're all complaining about but Maupay does contribute a lot more to the overall team effort. Maupay has also come on as sub in some games whereas Murray always started.

Murray should have been moved out of the side as the season went on and Andone should have been given much more of a chance.

Agree with this. Murray deteriorated once we went into 2019 and, for me, was a hinderance to the team thereafter in starting so regularly. Fine to come off the bench. He was brilliant during 2017 and 2018 in the PL though.

Get him in, we'll need as many scapegoats as possible if we bite the big one

Interesting, especially given he's never taken a penalty in his career or certainly that i can recall since i started following him. Saying that, i'd rather see him take a penalty on one leg than see Maupay, Groß or Welbeck take one for us again

Interview with Welbeck and a little bit of him talking about Andone

[Change at Barnham]

Encouraging words from Danny Welbeck about Andone.
It sounds like our Romanian international is quite a character and maybe has a chance of getting a run out before the end of the season.

 

[blue-shifted]

I hope this could put an end to all the "leaving do in the phone box" bollocks ...

But i'm not hopeful

They'll have a job finding a phonebox, there are very few remaining on our streets.
Maybe they could use a beach hut instead.

Or a Barratt Homes master bedroom

People would be so excited!(apologies if I’ve infringed copyright BH)

 

[albionalbino]

Reading between the lines I'd say that's a contract extension for Welbeck and Andone back into the squad. No new striker and Connolly out on loan.
I'd be happy with that. outcome.
Can't see why the club would release this video if not.
