[Albion] Florin Andone season-long loan to Galatasaray

[Beach Hut]

Odd if true, being clinical in front of goal is the one thing missing in our tool box

However perhaps he is disruptive and Southampton at home was the last straw

 

[Springal]

The bloke is a **** but I can’t believe we’d risk going on with Murray & Maupay as our only experienced strikers

Assume Galatasaray scouts were at the Soton match.

"Yep, like what I see..."

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Several Turkish football news sites are saying it. Saying Andone is going to Instanbul for a medical tomorrow! Galatasaray fans are already posting Andone highlights reels to YouTube.

See for yourself here.

Yes, the home goal against Palace being tweeted by their fans.

Season Long Loan. Aaron Connelly performances have changed everything.

If Murray was 5 years younger and Connolly was 5 years older, I think we could get away with the risk.

The squad would be very light up front if this goes through. Lack of goals is our biggest problem and surely Andone is part of the solution.

If he has to go, I don't see what we have to gain by loaning him

Really cannot see this one happening.
The Turkish press are known for linking a lot of names to certain clubs to drum up readership.
Not that long ago Locadia was being linked with a move to Turkey.
Cannot see Potter allowing Andone to go on loan leaving one striker with Premier League experience, second forward in his debut season in the Prem League and our third striker in his first breakthrough season in the senior team.

We have only 1 Connolly. He can't replace both Locadia and Andone.

A goal against Bristol Rovers and we’ve shipped out 2 experienced strikers to give Connolly and Maupay a go ?!

 

[studio150]

Strange given we spent a lot of last season saying we were short on strikers, then being able to name two on the bench.

But maybe Andone has just failed a retake of the no idiots requirement

 

[SweatyMexican]

Do we just not need strikers this season?

Glenn Murray up top on his own not good enough for you?

 

[Wozza]

Mr Andone was never the most popular player in the dressing room, of course... (even before Saturday).

It’s not the press ... it’s the club !

Wasn't this 'news' late in the last window, as well?

 

[Is it PotG?]

I always loved that photo at 'Muff. The look Knocky was giving him in his goal celebration.

Think the news is slightly different when confirmed by the club in question

This really doesn't fit in with Potter's stated ethos of embracing mistakes and learning from them.

bizarre.

 

[blockhseagull]

If we want shot because of attitude etc

Why are we loaning him ? Why don’t we just sell him.

 

[Kazenga <3]

Clearly Potter is going for 1 central striker so 3 for 1 space I suppose works.

But even so just seems mental.. we’d be a couple of injuries away from crisis and Andone’s pave gives us something the others all lack.

Would be very disappointed.

Really disappointing, I get he’s a total headcase but he scored a brilliant goal to get three-quarters of our points this season
