[Albion] Pascal Gross- bargain?

[Bold Seagull]

He looks so unrushed, his Cryuff turn is so fluid and balanced he just keeps gaining that yard or 2 without being electric himself. The speed in which he and Propper have settled is astonishing and there is more to come from them too.

 

[Beach Hut]

He's only just got here and you're selling him!

If the right sort of money is shown he will go

As has been said about Dunk, Knocky and Stephens, but, strangely, they're all still here.

 

[The Optimist]

It makes you wonder why West Ham would think it worth spending £20m plus on that Arnoutavic fella from Stoke.

Arnoutavic has Premier League experience, which is supposedly the most important trait ever.

 

[Bold Seagull]

We have to accept that too. If we are to sustain ourselves in the top flight, then the reality is if £25m+ offers start coming in, both for us and the player we need to do the deals – but only when it suits us. Players like Gross will continue to come to us if we are seen as a club that allows careers to progress when mutually beneficial.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Possibly, yes!

He's an extremely intelligent footballer, technically very good, with a lovely eye for a pass, and works incredibly hard. The difference between him and a truly world class player is their speed over short distances. On balance, I'll happily take him.

Mo Farah or Usain Bolt. One runs for ever, the other good over short distances. But both world class.

Now Pascal is on the global stage of the Premier League, who knows how far he can go?

That applies to every player in the world. How much is the right sort of money?

Bargain of the century, especially considering the mad prices this summer

Makes you wonder if we'd have gone for Groß if we'd have signed Pritchard last season. I imagine that they'd be competing for the same position on the pitch as our number 10, behind the striker. £3m for Groß is looking like a steal.

Funny how things work out.

I’m not sure if Pritchard is injured or not but he isn’t pn Norwich’s bench..

I doubt Pilchard is laughing, not even to the bank.

He’s been injured since the summer. Not back til xmas.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Watching the Seagulls World 35 minute extended highlights , his overall play (positioning, combativeness, distribution and ball delivery) is of such a high standard that I would think a zero has already been added to his value. I think he is the standout so far this season, amongst a team with a lot of very impressive contenders.


Brilliant signing.

Quite. When you compare his output with Ozil..........

Happy for him to be one paced [emoji6][emoji108]

I nearly thought you were being serious with your post. Thank God for those winking emojis

On the same note, although Jose is our most expensive signing, I don't think fans should be expecting him to be a world beater, we should compare his fee with how much our other players are worth, not what we paid. How much would we accept for March or Knocky?

No way we have seen the best of Jose. Still settling in. Potential to be deverstating once fully bedded in. Needs time to connect with the rest of the team. Looks like he is out there all by himself atm. Just not used to his colleagues style and tendancies yet. Reminds me of when Ulloa first rocked up.

He reminds me a little of Beckham in that he's not the quickest or silkiest of players but he works his nuts off and has one excellent skill - namely his passing and crossing ability - that he maximises to the utmost. A really good signing.

As is Propper who is looking better and better, is forming a decent partnership with Stephens and looks a really classy player.

Actually all our signings look pretty decent.

If we can get that elusive striker and avoid too many injuries I'm confident of a comfortable midtable finish to the season.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

This stat is from the club site - Gross has created 212 goalscoring opportunities since August 2015, whereas Kevin De Bruyne has been involved in 211 during the same period.

Not seen any mention of it but Propper’s turn to set up Izqueirdo’s goal was brilliant.

I only noticed it this morning when catching up on MotD.
It's odd the stuff you miss, I think I was still marvelling at Gross (?) fighting for the ball, after the miss that induced the hoof.
It was quite something, the way he took the ball down and player out of the game in one movement.
