[Albion] Florin Andone season-long loan to Galatasaray

[SIMMO SAYS]

And if he comes back, gets a Winner, that’s not ok?

Well that ain't gonna happen so get over it.

Just over a week ago, having interacted with Andone for three months, he put his trust in him to start in a vital game against Southampton. Two weeks before that he also trusted him to come off the bench to influence out season opener. In that same game, he put Jurgen Locadia into his starting XI in the first game of his Albion tenure.

Maybe he just didn't like what he saw when it all got serious.

Also it does indicate he wants to put his own team out - not one he inherited from the previous regime. The timings a bit odd though, but maybe there just isn't the quality replacements available at a price we can afford.

Having a look before getting rid is fairly standard in football management I would think. It may have been that he’s had his doubts about both ever since he joined but wanted to give them each a couple of chances just to check there wasn’t anything he was missing.

So he didn't rate Andone, played him in three games to make sure then got rid?

Presumably he does rate Ali J, and to prove that he's not put him in a Premier League match day squad yet?

Yep - that adds up.

We can't ship everyone out at the same time. We'll barely have a 5 a side team at the rate some people want to change.

A bigger issue for us is getting more than one goal a season out of Propper and Stephens.

Each. I’d settle for one each. Rome ain’t built in a day you know. Not exactly Lamps and Gerrard are they? Both of them have scored more in a single match than our dynamic duo have in three seasons. Combined.

Man City seem to manage pretty well with only Aguero and Jesus.

We'd manage pretty well with 'only' Aguero and Jesus!

 

[GT49er]

Agreed. Graham seems like a man who is very focused on the wellbeing of the group, team spirit, making everyone feel as good as they can etc.

For most of his tenure, at least, that description could equally have been applied to Hughton!

Maybe he wanted to get rid of Ali J but had no takers.

With reference to Andone I think it's two things, gave him a chance and he does not play the Potter way and last the sending off was the rod that broke the camels back, the red card shows that he is a potential liability. Does the club still operate the no tw*ts policy.

 

[Acker79]

Man City seem to manage pretty well with only Aguero and Jesus. So three who can play the central role should be fine with plenty of options for the wide roles.

Yeah, take Aguero and Jesus out of Man City and they've got no one worth writing home about.

Been debated at length over the last 80 pages of this thread, put on your reading glasses and crack on, cheers.

Sorry joined the party late, could you summarise. My opinion is "No tw*ts" is alive and kicking at the Albion.

 

[Washie]

The fact that Bernardo kicked him before the Southampton game, maybe he doesn't fit the no dickheads rule and is extremely disliked by the players.

Can someone turn off the NSC lights.

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

Not a fan of Andone or Locadia and ultimately think we'll be better off without them.

Possibly we're a bit light on strikers but would i want those 2 playing even if we do get injuries? Not really.

Just hope Maupay steps up and that we can find a way of getting Glenn involved in the new system

Jeez not another one. That was just a case of a lad dicking about with his mate.

GP is backing Connolly and Alzate to the hilt. This is what we need a manager with foresight and the balls to carry it out. If it doesn't work out as well as expected we have a January recall option on Andone. Sounds good to me, he was out for two more games anyway and he has already lost us one, so well worth the gamble.

EDIT:

So just read we got 630K in loan fees, is this a normal amount or a bit low?

It kinda does except the bit about not having Ali J in a Premier League match day squad yet.

Anyway, with no shortage of Dutch suitors, Ali J would have been on his way if Potter didn’t rate him. He has seen something.
