Perhaps this is a question for [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] but would the Albion still be a bottom 4 funded team if they had bought Andone for the initial reported £15m+?
That’s the issue. Would other clubs want those players?
WHAT?!Initial loan with £10M transfer fee. Seems cheap
I can only assume we are looking to spend big and he was our most valuable asset which we could sell to part fund that purchase. No one would take Locadia, Ali J, Gross or Izzy for more than £5m . The rest are probably seen as must retain or worth even less.
IF the club is not bringing in someone else then it is a very poor move.
WHAT?!
That desperate to get rid?
I’d only imagine this happening if:
-Potter doesn’t fancy AK
-A replacement is inbound to balance the attacking options
-The price is right
Looks like this is happening. Which is gutting as AK has been very good for us. If no replacement is agreed by Watford I’d be very surprised.
I'm stunned if the reports regarding the price are accurate. Seems remarkably low, and Barber is normally excellent in these negotiations.

But if it's a season loan with £10m at the end of it, his move won't be funding anything this window.
He is worth more than £10m in today's market surely?

That he might be but he's going in the wrong direction for 'added' value.
Personally I’d rather keep AJ and Locadia over.AK. We have seen the best of AK but have definitely haven’t seen the best of the other two. In the minority I accept, time will tell.
