[Albion] Florin Andone (LEAVES BY MUTUAL CONSENT)

[Stat Brother]

That unknown who played for Bayer Leverkusen, and in his first season finished runners up in the Bundesliga, and Champions League knocking out Arsenal Liverpool and Utd along the way.

Tottenham Hotspur reached an agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for Berbatov's transfer in May 2006, the fee of €16 million (£10.9 million) made him the most expensive Bulgarian footballer ever.

#NeverWrong.

Let's hope he has a similar impact as Nadia Comeneci, lots of perfect 10's.

I know, she's Romanian so it doesn't quite work.

You no longer have to make sense.

He was unknopwn when he went to Bayer Lev erkusen and the transfer to Spurs In relative terms was cheap. Being the most expensive player from Bulgaria is totally immaterial.

Let’s hope he has as big an impact as Yuri Gellar, I know he bent Spoons so it doesn’t quite work.

Ruud van Nistleroy went from Man Utd to Real Madrid the same window for £10.2m.

That Stalin, he had an impact. But I think he was Russian?

If he was born today, he would be classified as Georgian, not Russian. Maybe history would need to be rewritten?

Dimitar Berbatov was the 3rd most expensive transfer that Summer.

Edit, he was the third most expensive player, that season:-

Phew. Lot of cash for a virtual unknown [emoji23][emoji23]

 

[redoubtable seagull]

Let’s hope he has as big an impact as his fellow Eastern European, Vladimir Lenin. I know that he was Russian and played the revolutionary left back role and Andone is Romanian.

I think you'll find the 3rd biggest transfer that season is looked upon as being cheap by all the experts.

Perhaps something that can be copied and pasted will help:-

Blimey I got that wrong, sorry.

That’s fine as long as those involved have mastered copy and paste........

He's probably just biding his time, after all this thread will disappear soon, won't it?
None of us will constantly be reminded of his expert analysis.

Ah yes, but nobody had heard of Svhevchenko or Carrick either

 

[clarkey]

Ah yes, but nobody had heard of Svhevchenko or Carrick either

Fellow Eastern European Shevchenko, you mean?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

We had an Eastern European once, didn't we? Gotsmanov.

Oh, and Kishishev.

No one had ever heard of them.

And they were quite good.

So, Andone could be OK.

Looks strong and lively with pace and guile. Looks a great buy for me. Some lovely goals there.

Just looked at his showreel and am officially excited, great running, direct and his ability to disguise his finishing is a joy to watch and if he can continue playing like that for us we have a very capable young-ish replacement for the wonderful Glenn Murray when time catches up with him but hopefully this will extend his career with us as he won't be our only true scoring striker anymore and consequently we won't have to burn him out as we've had to depend so heavily on him. Very well done to all involved.

I must admit I didnt think that Tottenham paid so much for Berbatov and as I only take an interest in proper football not FIFA 2009 or whatever it was I wouldnt have had much knowledge of him but there you go.

He was well known for his success in 'proper football'.
