[Albion] Florin Andone season-long loan to Galatasaray

[LamieRobertson]

Don’t you just love being an Albion fan? One step forward and then one or two back almost immediately

Judging by some of these posts it’s more like two forward ..to me we are light up front ..still let’s see what crawls out the woodwork...one things for sure I don’t think anyone expected it

I wondered this in the small hours this morning but it got poo pood.....could it be possible?

Nobody pooh-poohed your post.

percy tau back to brighton on a fast-forwarded work permit?

Not this again!

You do have to wonder, don't you?

No we don't. Even if he got a work permit today, we can't recall him until January (and only then if there's a return clause in the loan agreement).

Galatasaray have just loaned Mbaye Diagne, an attacker, to Club Brugge...

Less game time for Percy?

Thanks for clearing that up. Nice to dream ey!

And I wonder what conversations he's had about game time with the Galatasaray manager ... given they're signing Falcao today as well.

If that was the case I'd have expected GP to tell him he'll have his chance to make the place his, but if he's having to share the shirt and wants to go elsewhere, we'd let him go in January when the transfer window is open. It doesn't make sense to let him go at this late hour just because he wants more game time.

He cost us 3 points for sure

Not 'for sure' at all. Unless you're saying Andone's absence was worth a nailed-on 3 goal swing.

He's there to lace Percy's boots!

It was well in the mid-twenties in the stands so no doubt absolutely baking on the pitch. Making your team mates run around more than they need for 60 minutes in that heat is absolutely criminal and very disrespectful. Beyond that, Saints would only have needed one goal to take all three points.

What it might show (if correct) is Andones attitude. They guy has been sent off for an horrendous tackle and yet demands more game time. Bonkers. If he does go, then I am pleased. He is a walking liability. Connolly deserves the chance to play and looking at his record of goals (thanks to another poster who posted last week) you have to say he fully deserves it.

Very similar to the Lukaku situation. Would Man Utd like to keep a £75m striker at the club who can score 25-30 goals a season, when they have a novice in Mason Greenwood on the sidelines?

United sold Lukaku for £74m, during the transfer window. So they were able to spend the money elsewhere. If we sold Andone for good money in the transfer window, then I'd understand it. But the window has closed, and Andone looks as good a striker for Potter's style as we have at the club.

No doubt the club will have their reasons, but it's still bad news for us fans.

He was sent off at 0-0 with us in the ascendancy I think it is fair to say. Southampton had few clear chances, scored 1 on the break while on the back foot against 10, then in the 92nd minute when the 10 are going all out for an equaliser. We were arguably still the better team after going down to 10.

Wasn't a nailed on 3 points, but they weren't 2 nil up when he was sent off.

Are we unable to offer criticism of players without it being labelled as hate? I haven't seen anything I would describe as hate, unless you're attributing anything that isn't positive as hate?
