[Albion] Mahmoud Dahoud (Loaned to VfB Stuttgart 31/01/24)

[London Irish]

Why can’t it be football related? He’s not adjusted to English football, it happens

He was doing OK (Everton, Ajax away), better than Baleba. It's obvious there was a blow up after the red that could not be settled

 

[nwgull]

I wonder if those suggesting we let him go for free would be happy to have an extra £200 supplement on every season ticket at the Amex to offset the lost income?

But he played after the red?
He started against Burnley, was taken off at half time and then spent the rest of the time on then bench until he was not in the squad this year (may have been on bench this year, I forget). RDZ was quite clear in what he wanted from him and he has not shown that.

 

[US Seagull]

Another thing thats clear about RDZ. There's no way back.
Sanchez, Trossard, and now Dahoud.

It does worry me. A little. At least.

Although Dahoud never really got going in the first place, the bust up with Sanchez and especially Trossard feels like it hurt us, a bit at least.

It isn't obvious at all. It's speculation.

I said at the time of the Sanchez issue there does seem to be a flaw with RDZ that he is seemingly unable to resolve spats he has with players. Trossard, Sanchez and now Dahoud in a little over a year.

I suppose we wouldn’t know about the spats he has with players when they are resolved though. We mainly know about Trossard and Sanchez because they took big actions like refusing to play.

Tbf I think it seems that Dahoud is not doing what RDZ wants him to do but I am not sure if there is definitely an argument going on there. You can still see him in some of the training pics etc and he looks happy enough in them. Sometimes players come in and they just aren’t quite what we thought they were or turn out not to be what we needed after all.

Terry says he's USELESS and he will DRIVE him to SWITZERLAND himself to get rid of him

I agree but it’s very unusual for such players to be given so little game time to judge this. It would be quick if he was pushed out in the summer but this is ridiculous on that count.

RDZ doesn’t have to be the greatest man manager in the world as long as his failures are at speculative free signing levels like Dahoud not the hilarious Ten Hag burning near hundred millions like with Sancho. Trossard was going anyway and I think most of us had a good laugh Rob made it extra miserable for the little shit. Sanchez was overrated as is becoming clear

Sky sports saying they will have a £9m option to buy at the end of the season. I mean if he’s surplus here then £9m isn’t bad given he was free to us.

Only if he ends up being worth £9m to Stuttgart!

Doesn't mean they will actually buy him off us.

You've been released then. Welcome back.

 

[brighton_tom]

Well obviously.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I am sad hearing this news

 

[7dialssouthpaw]

Why would you give away an asset for free when someone may reimburse you for it? Loan has wages paid or largely contributed to and you retain your asset.

lol- he's not an asset, he's a liability. Costing 55,000 a week to sit at home chilling out and occupying a squad place.

Didn't Sanchez refuse to be a sub? Not heard anything about a spat with RDZ

what lost income? his wages are an expense. If he plays somewhere else, they pay him and we don't.

I guess they mean the 9m Euro we 'might' get?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Has to be someone coming in … surely ?

Not necessarily the case, there are instances where the parent club sub some of the players wages whilst on loan.
