[Albion] Igor , Dahoud and Fati. What an absolute waste of money.

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I should have realised as soon as I saw the thread starter…..another one for the ignore button

According to the OP, he’s a black body builder from the Bronx, hence the stereotypical username. All those steroids must’ve befuddled his brain.

 

[Hugo Rune]

One of RDZ's legacies. Rubbish.

Lesson learnt for next manager stick to the formula and don't allow someone else's recommendations !!

Take Igor’s name out your ****ing mouth!

 

[portslade seagull]

Didn't think Igor was that bad today. Gross seemed off today

Blimey Portslade….

I thought both goals were down to him…..

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

Blimey Portslade….

I thought both goals were down to him…..

At the heights of the injuries, when he was called up in Europe he played really well.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

This is nonsense. First goal was down to Webster being kept off the pitch by officials and us not reorganising

Second game running, Chelsea scored on Wednesday as Dunk came back on after treatment. Some confusion over who should be picking up who and they score.

Same kind of thing today. Webster off the pitch and no one quite sure who should be doing what again.

Dahoud and Fati - wish we'd never even considered signing them; total waste of money. Igor though? - he's done alright, even if he hasn't been a revelation. In modern-day PL finance parlance, he didn't cost too much, did he?

 

[albionalex]

Why is Igor getting lumped in with those helmets? Made a mistake did he?

In completely unconnected news - I once listened to a Radio 4 programme. It was called something like 'the life of cats'. Very interesting. One of the standout parts was a psychologist talking about cats' reactions to stimuli. Apparently they will generate an emotional, nervous system response to apparently disconnected factors.

For example, if a cat walks along In a kitchen and walks past a different coloured tile at the time a car backfires outside, the backfiring car will make the cats nervous system panic and move into emergency mode. It will then, forever-more believe it was the colour of the tile that was the result of its fear, anger and bewilderment, As it doesn't have the cognitive ability to understand cause and effect.

Anyway. I digress, Baleba was decent.

He was one of the players that we signed because RDZ wanted him.

(I think he's fine fwiw)

Igor is what he is. A second choice, left footed centre back.

He’s not as good as Dunk or Van Hecke, he’s quite slow for a left back, and yet he’s had to play all those roles thanks to injuries and squad depth. He’s exactly what we bought.

OP has done his usual routine of saying something that’s true and then exaggerating it for attention

 

[maltaseagull]

Nah. We have some average players as well. Veltman , Webster , lamptey , bonny , wellbz etc

City have some great players. You should support them instead.

 

[ROSM]

I think Igor cost around the same as locadia and ali j did (c17m)

For that we have a prem league standard reserve defender who has had to play full back due to injuries often. He was 25 when we signed him so a little older than our normal targets but on a vfm basis I think he is ok.

It's easy to point at dahoud and say he was a flip (a free flop at that albeit I'm sure well paid). And Fati? We knew he was injury prone but nobody could have foreseen him imploding as he has after the november injury

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Naylor's Athletic article makes no reference to Fati being an RDZ signing, only Dahoud and Igor. And we only ended up with Igor because we couldn't get Colwill and desperately needed a left footed centre back.

 

[Simster]

Fati has been a crushing disappointment, primarily down to his reputation and enormous wages. He sums up the second half of the season for me. Dahoud has been a pointless signing but not the same level of disappointment because we've had loads of signings like him down the years. It just didn't work out.

As for Igor, well he doesn't belong in the conversation. Pointless name checking him just because he had a bad game yesterday.

Poor in Roma. See first goal

Not only yesterday.

Agree he’s not as poor as Fati and Dahoudthough, but he’s not good enough.

 

[GloryDays]

I actually think Igor is quite good. Remember a time when people were saying Solly March was crap?

Igor has really good qualities but maybe not the right system / manager after all.

Not much we can do about Dahoud not settling. Unlucky there. But he showed moments of quality.

Fati, for me, was a waste of money from the get go and the type of signing I’m very uncomfortable with Brighton making. If we’d signed Fred goodness knows what would have happened.

 

[Simster]

Not only yesterday.

Agree he’s not as poor as Fati and Dahoudthough, but he’s not good enough.

I don't think he's been stand-out shit at all.

 

[Springal]

Naylor's Athletic article makes no reference to Fati being an RDZ signing, only Dahoud and Igor. Ans we only ended up with Igor because we couldn't get Colwill and desperately needed a left footed centre back.

Igor is mentioned in there as well as a RDZ signing

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I don't think he's been stand-out shit at all.

Not stand-out shit ( love it), just shit for me….

Okay on the ball, but defensively from a positional and actual defending standpoint, just poor. He has the turning circle of an oil tanker and is too slow.

 

[Justice]

Roberto De Zerbi built on the foundations laid by Potter, with the good start to the season and the developed players.

I think Potter could have achieved similar heights if he stayed in charge.

You are ignoring the changes RDZ made tactically and improving players that Potter didn’t like March and Mitoma.
Putting all that down to Potter is being very blinkered.
