They are trying to make sure they get as much as possible for him, doubt we like that. Will probably go to 11th hour again.

And fail again.....
Perhaps not.
I think it could be a buyer’s market this time round.
There are probably about a dozen Strikers on our A-List. The agents & clubs can wait till the 31st or they can make some good money and give their player number 1 status at a mid-table Premier League team. We only have room for one (although I think we’ll grab a cheeky loan too) permanent striker transfer. If the agents & clubs wait, we could fill our shopping basket (like Everton with Cenk) and they’d be left with offers from the likes of Derby, Massive & Boro.
Each new player rumour could strengthen our hand potentially with agents feeling the pressure to do a deal before all Premier League Striker berths are taken.
Will there be news halftime Monday night I wonder?

Still think we’ll get him for 10mill? This is exactly what I said will happen they’re gonna play hardball - once we offered the sort of money we did in August they were never gonna let him go on the cheap in January!

I have a feeling we will move on, Depo are being difficult, Spanish clubs look at premier league clubs as a cash cow there to be milked, i dont blame them holding out for more money, but Andone will not be the only striker on our list.
Its a shame really as the lad clearly wants to come to Brighton, his stats for this season shouldnt be given to much notice as he doesn't want to be there, as has been said before, hes fallen out with team-mates and management and most of his appearances have been from the bench.
Personally, as has been said above, i think he is exactly the type of player we want, i see him as a younger, faster, better Tomer Hemed. No disrespect intended to Tomer as he always gives his all.
I hope im wrong and he is in our squad for the West Brom game but i think if this one happens it wont be until the last few days of the window.

Andone starts today but I wouldn't read that much into it, Lucas Perez is injured.
Brighton Mod

Just had a look at his career, doesn't appear to have played too much, although scored against Real Madrid. He also has a 30m euro release clause in his contract. 'Too much too young', no not the Specials, Florine Andonne.
Never mind, we could end up with Lewis Grabban, he's not wanted at Bournemouth.

.....Now would Grabban score more goals for us than some being mentioned.......!??
Brighton Mod

Totally agree, they need to sort out the defence, its pretty poor. He's going nowhere with this team. Have seen nothing yet to tell me he's worth £20m+.

He's had a couple of tough chances in the last 7 or 8 minutes. Has the look of a striker who is exasperated and desperate.
If only he were desperate and exasperated, he'd fit right in!

54 mins - commentator: "Florin Andone -I think it's fair to say - has had a fairly ineffective game."

Sky Sports football - but you have to press the red button to get the other game.

I just said to Mrs Mod, we want him to score and have a good game so we can see how good he is, on the other hand we want him to have a duff game so there is more leverage for a deal for his miserable season thus far.

He has the stature of Tomer but appears to have a bit more (but nowhere near searing) pace. Unfortunately, he is not doing much at all as an isolated front man - and let's face it - that's what he'd be doing a lot of the time playing for us. Mind you, he's not played that much so he can't be that sharp.

I'll hazard a guess he's not had the service he would have got had he been playing v Bournemouth.
