[Albion] Pascal Gross midfield partner

Baleba?

There are a couple of very big differences between the two…………. One todo with size, and the other even more obvious.

 

[Bakero]

Even more of a reason why it looks pretty bad if he doesn’t play

I think he might well play but if he doesn't, it's not time to cut our losses. He's got a long career ahead of him and if DZ thinks he needs more time, so be it. Not many players thrive in CM in the Premier League in their late teens/at 20 years old. It's especially hard given the demands DZ puts on his players.

 

[B-right-on]

Has to be Baleba otherwise we might as well get rid

20 years old, different league, different country, different language and different playing style.

Not allowed time to bed in, get rid.

NSC at its finest.

 

[WATFORD zero]

how about our £30M player who was bought in to replace a £115M player. he should be able to manage three games, no?

I can see where you're coming from, but I'm afraid it's not quite that simple, Todd

Nobody will notice.

He’s allowed to settle in but my point is if we want play him now, with his experience - and literally no other options really then it’s not a good sign IMO

Billy has got rid of his blonde highlights and Carlos still has his ?

I've had a busy day but I'm pretty sure it's currently Tuesday in both Japan and Australia and our game against Wolves is on Wednesday. Ergo, anyone in Japan or Australia can legitimately say "we won't be getting rid of Baleba just because he doesn't play tomorrow".

*I'm not in Japan nor Australia but the point still sounds

But our game against Wolves is on Thursday if you are watching from Japan or Australia.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

I would say Baleba.

There is a decent player in there - a really decent one - he needs to learn, and learn fast, but Ali Mac and Moises wern't the finished article when they first came to us.

Let's not get bogged down with semantics.

 

[Curryisgreat]

I reckon Jason Steele would do a decent job in midfield…

What are you basing this on from performances so far?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

When he was on the Albion podcast, I think he said he'd played outfield...

 

[Machiavelli]

Completely agree. I hate it when things get bogged down with semantics

Don't give up yet! How about an Australian flying to the UK?

 

[Sheebo]

There is absolutely not a chance, that any of Igor, Webster, JPVH, Veltman or Pervis could cope with the close range, first time passing required of a CM in RDZ's team. It would be a disaster.

Yep - mental that we have a thread about who to replace one CM and within 10 pos the s there are about 4 defenders suggested

Also, £23m has suddenly become £30m - this thread is not good reading, even for NSC… Sounds more like a twatter or Facebook thread!

 

[BluesRockDJ]

Barca

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

How about Baleba back in the libero role? That seemed to work OK.

 

[zefarelly]

Does Lord Pascal Have any twins, or children?

Moder and Baleba are the obvious choices, with Gross in a 3 . . . 3 at back, 2 wing and 2 goal shooters
