[Albion] Florin Andone season-long loan to Galatasaray

[seagull_special]

He would be an asset that ideally we wouldn’t need to utilize and would be sold at the end of the season, this really would be the only circumstance in which he would return to the club and it’s a shame for him and us.

 

[Saunders]

We are only one injury away from needing another striker so with him fit and available for the second half of the season he might still be a blessing in disguise.

I would prefer one of our u23 strikers on loan doing well to have that opportunity rather than him. He was dead to me before now after that kind of injury he might not be the player he was even.

Who comes in to that category?

Potter’s your man for that question. Did you even consider that Alzate and Connolly would be first team regulars before pre-season?

If you say you did I’d say you were lying

I certainly didn't, one had an uninspiring loan at Luton the other a mediocre experience at Swindon Town. I thought Potter would come in and promote someone as a message to the rest of "you have a chance if you can show you have the talent" I was hopeful of Tudor Baluta, Taylor Richards or Viktor Gyokeres making the jump but I'm delighted we have shown faith in some and expect to see more given such an opportunity over the coming years

I don't think it was a really bad injury.

 

[blue-shifted]

He won't play again, Potter is a man of conviction.

But also I don't see him as someone to bear a grudge.

It depends how Florin reacts

This. If Andone was to eat a large slice of humble pie, get his head down and stop being a d1ckhead, I can see GPott picking him again.

There is a lot of love for Andone from the Galatesary fans on his Twitter account.

But at the same time, he'll be looking at our results v Spurs and Arsenal as well as the performance v Liverpool and thinking, what I wonder. These are amongst the top clubs in the world when compared to some of the teams in the Turkish top div.

Personally, I don't think he'll change only based on what I've seen of him 3rd hand, but you never know.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Good player but a liability , get the impression Potter has no time for that,

Yes, agree. Whilst I didn't really think that Locardia was good enough, I wasn't sure about Andone. Possibly he was justified in his alleged frustration with a lack of game time last year, but his indiscipline certainly cost us against Stains, which was a desperate shame, as I am sure we would have won that match. Will he change, now that he is back having treatment - I am not at all optimistic, but you never know.

I was really unhappy with him when we played Shampton. We had waited ages for the season to start, and the time taken out to get to the game and get home was a complete waste of everyone's time, the fans, Potter's and his team mates. I'm over it now and if Potter feels like he is useful I would back that decision all the way. Likewise if he is of no use to Potter I will back that too. If he does play for us again it will be for the right reasons.

 

[OzMike]

He saw him as a bad influence on the team and that won't change. Was hoping he would perform for loan club and then ship out.

Are you determined to talking rubbish or something? Connolly was injured, so was only available for a few games at the end of the season for Luton , without the chance to work up to match fitness. Alzate was superb at Swindon - often ran the midfield for them, and the Swindon fans thought he was excellent - very positive reactions, bit like White's when he was at \Newport.

 

[GT49er]

Who comes in to that category?

Longman, Cashman, Radulovic, perhaps - might not set the PL on fire, but would do a job. Or maybe Mlakar, if we recall him from QPR where his loan is doing him FA good - though I think he'd be better loaned out to a Championship or League 1 team that would actually play him.

 

[Sirnormangall]

I think we will all remember Andone for the extreme moments: his fantastic determined run and finish v Palace; his red cards. Sadly the latter make him a liability as far as I’m concerned .

Do you consider Mooy a liability following his red card against Villa that cost us the game? Or have you forgiven him yet and moved on?

Not comparable. That was Mooy first ever red card in his career. He isn't a walking red card like Andone.A guy with a proper chip on his shoulder while being paid 40k per week. PRICK

 

[Stat Brother]

Ohhhh someone's jealous.

A prick AND paid £40k a week.

I see Florin came on as a second half sub for Galatasaray on Sunday.... ?!

Indeed he did in the 79th min for Falcao who had scored twice to make it 3-0.
