[Albion] Florin Andone season-long loan to Galatasaray
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Link?
must be more to this as Andone did look like could cut it prem.
So we would have an ageing Murray , Maupay unproven and Connolly who is just potential at the moment .
Not convinced that’s enough over a season .
Could get away with it until jan possibly
Frustrating when it finally seemed we had good options but locadia confirming he was a donkey and now this , it is a big concern now

But doesn't one affect the other? The fact that we've shipped out Locadia would seem to me it would be much less likely we'd let Andone go, (for much discussed reason of squad depth).
The fact that we have let him go says to me there must be a compelling reason to do so? but what could it be?
He's generally a bit of an idiot? Unlikely. The club would known this and have acted earlier to get a replacement in
We have a better replacement lined up? Almost certainly not with the transfer window closed.
Something happened. Some sort of key event which tipped the balance? It must be this. As I said earlier in the thread, my guess is that he deliberately got sent off against Saints as he'd heard that Galatasaray were interested, and was open to the club about it being deliberate, possibly with a promise to repeat it if he didn't get him move.
It could be lots of other things, but I don't buy that the club getting rid is a general reaction to a poor disciplinary record, as I say they would have known about this all summer

Maybe Andone knocked seven shades of shit out of Bernardo for that head-mental kick before the Saints game

Andone came up as INFJ on the Myers-Briggs and Potter wasn't having that. Good riddance.

Radulovic is 29 days OLDER than Connolly.
He needs to be good.

Found this ref last season......
What about free agents?
With free agents the rules are a bit complicated regarding Premier League clubs.
Although the Premier League transfer window closed August 9 ahead of the new season, teams in the top flight can still add to their squad by signing a free agent providing that they have a free space in their 25-man squad.
Clubs had to submit their squads for the new season a day after the transfer window closed, yet selling a player from the submitted 25-man squad can free up a space to bring in a player on a free transfer.
Plus this about Why Carroll HAD to be signed before window shut

If he didn’t keep getting sent off he’d almost certainly have had more game time
Ali J must surely soon be a shoo in soon (much to most of NSC’s delight :lolol)

Fair play to him if he did

People are over reacting about this.
We play ONE up front. We have 3 players who can do this. Plus, i'm sure, Potter has a couple of players in mind who could do it if needs must.
Plus, if the rest comes to the worst, Bojan or even Cashman can go on the bench for a fixture or two.

Our 3 players who play up front , a 36 year old who is getting slower and slower, an under 23 who has no experience in any Premier football, plus a player who we brought from Brentford, and has not played one full game in the Premier league yet ,
Seems to me we are asking for trouble

Not over-reacting at all
Yes, we have 3 players for one position
Muzza - has been brilliant for us, but is clearly no longer at the peak of his powers.
Connolly - hopefully will be brilliant, but it’s a big ask to an 18 y/o who’s only played a few mins of first team football to fire us the goals to keep us up
Maupay - also may come to something. Some adapt from the Championship and some don’t. He’s had a mixed start
We might get a away with it, but all our competitors, who we hope might take the relegation places, have far more convincing striking options. (well ok, maybe there’s one that doesn’t).
As for relying on Radulovic etc. Well, we may have to, certainly if we do now have a run in the Carabao or FA Cup, but having watched a bit of u23, not for one moment have I thought those two are ready for a Premier League squad place yet. If we had kept Gyokeres I might give that argument a bit more credence, as he’s clearly closer and more experienced.

But he doesn’t have the experience. And striker isn’t the position he’s been playing in for the u23s.
Only because it rhymes.

strong and stable with me, or...
We can all infer different things.
1. The AK decision was taken before GP arrived. GP knew AK was going before or when he signed.
2. Agree.
3. I don't think GP takes the decision on the red card, that would be knee jerk. Suspect overall attitude and ability are more what Potter has had a look at.
I would say 2 & 3 are similar in that the manager has given plenty of minutes and chances to see what he has.
the weird one is 4. No PL minutes yet, first place on the bench Saturday, yet not the one up for a loan? Perhaps GP feels he can work some mind magic on the Iranian.

If it makes any difference - he's now 19; 20 in January.
