I've read (and believe) that Dutch clubs would have to form a queue for a chance to sign him on loan.

But, without any knowledge like us all, were they prepared to meet the loan fee and wages required by TB?

The clubs taking on Andone and Locadia obviously met those criteria.

You didn't. I have misread your post and checking through your older posts misjudged your position. Apologies proffered.
Thank you. I honestly didn't expect you to reply with anything meaningful, let alone apologise. I have great faith in Bloom. Letting Andone go might be the best thing for the club, but it would have been even better if he had a good attitude, good discipline, and was playing and scoring regularly. It's not to be, which is a shame, but hey ho.

If I am wrong there is nothing more to be done than admit it, apologise if necessary, change position to reflect new knowledge and move on. I can't stand people who maintain a position when they have been thoroughly debunked. Reading through your posts the only thing we disagree on is how VAR is implemted , even then we both want it.

Now back to the football :cheers:

Forensic TV replays were the nails being lined up in Florin’s box; VAR is the hammer that drove them in. Unfortunately his shielding/tackle/assault would’ve probably been seen in any generation. Look at Solly’s face when FA gets stuck in.

I'm sure someone has mentioned this already but Galatasaray have had a player sent off in each of their last three games. Andone should fit right in.

He seems very well suited to their style!

I assume they still win these games where their players are sent off.

What’s interesting in that they’ve shipped a 30 goal striker to Bruges to make way for Florin and an injured Falcao.

I see andone is w@nking off his agents again on insta. If there was ever any doubt whose decision this move was.

It's becoming irritating now. Will be such a shammmmme if he flops.

I'd rather he banged in 15 goals before Christmas so we can sell him for a tidy profit. Then he can flop.

No "thanks and goodbye" posts and his most recent 2 posts haven't been liked by any players from the first team which they often do to each other. Does look like maybe he was a prick and wanted to leave. The red card was a way of forcing that possbly?

Just had a browse through his Instagram and after seeing that pic with him posing with the disney castle in the background, I'm glad we've got rid. Very glad.

Yes I think so. I think before the Soton match his thought process was along the lines of ... "I know Galatasaray are interested, I want to try Champions League, I want to be closer to home, I'm not popular here, I want the possibility of another signing on fee ..... but, the club will never let me go as they are short of strikers and the transfer window has closed ..... I know I what I can do to force their hand"

When Courtney Baker-Richardson got his debut in Swansea in September last year he got a red card after four minutes. After the suspension was over, Potter immediatly gave him the chance again to show that it is ok to make mistakes. He wouldnt let anyone leave over a thing like that. Instead its defo about the bigger picture.

My wild guess is that Andone did very well in training and friendlys over the summer and Potter gave him chances in the initial games. After that, he might have turned complacent, entitled and cocky and Potter realised he dont want him in the squad.

So much bollocks on here. Here is an image of bad boy Florin stealing milk from a kid.

Whether or not Andone was a dick or not I still think by anyone’s judgment this is a loss for us, whether he’s a dick off the pitch and caused unrest, which btw is conjecture really because nobody actually categorically knows, he’s probably our second best striker we have and we didn’t replace him.

My guess is Potter was probably very angry with him after his red card and there must have been an internal falling out after that, I don’t buy the whole him not being popular and causing trouble stuff before that as he always gave maximum effort, and yes I know the red card was daft but he’s always had that in his game that’s nothing new so not indicative of him wanting to leave.
