[Albion] Pascal Groß the raumdeuter - officially leaves for Dortmund :(

[Greg Bobkin]

It’s big news to me.
So Calde, an absolute legend, scouted our best ever player?!
Tonight is too much.

My two favourite players ever. I was saying to the Bobkin Jnrs that Groß had probably overtaken Calde as number one. Then the Spanish God first came out onto the pitch, then revealed he was responsible for getting Pascal here and Inigo was right back up to top spot.

Another Groß assist and great performance. Can we try and clone him or something?

If you love football Calde scouting Gross is orgasmic.

It nearly was!

Realistically, only Dunk can trump him as our GOAT.

Forget Ward & Lawrenson etc. Those players never got a sniff of smashing European heavyweights like Ajax and Marseilles.

He is astonishing.

He is Brighton through and through. He encapsulates our ‘peak Brighton’ journey.

Well. Speaking as someone who saw, and worshipped, Ward and Lawrenson in their prime I've simply got to say ....... yes, totally agree.

(I know we can't really compare across the eras and Ward and Lawrenson will always be 'greats' in my eyes, but this IS a whole new world - and Pascal is the king).

And to think, football genius Potter went through a phase of not rating or playing him and wanting him shipped back to Germany.

So did quite a few fans on here, to be fair!

His renaissance has been spectacular. But it again speaks to his character and his personality to get his head down, do the work and get back into the team and become captain when Dunk is out of action. Those two are true club legends.

Some more useful German words, for Lord pascal...

Turn = drehen
Assist = helfen
Hero = held
Play maker = spielmacher
Gemius = genie

Not with us, obviously - but Lawrenson did win a European Cup final.

Edit. Bit rude and not worthy of the great man’s thread.

Second top assists of German on , Premier League after Mesil

My wife reckons he had an off-game last night. I think she's coming down with something.

Gross is awesome, such a classy player. But there's no doubt Dunk is the biggest legend at Brighton. Been here since a boy, worked his way into the team, instrumental in getting us promoted to the promised land, and then to two FA cup semi finals and our first spell in Europe. Has always shown passion, hates Palaces, has been here through thick and thin.

It’s virtually impossible to believe he his right footed if you look at that left footed cross for Welbeck last night. It was sublime. But he is.

 

[Stat Brother]

It's going to take a while for me to come to terms with my God passing back to JP twice in injury time, instead of 'putting it in the mixer' - again.

Agree.

Yet some bloke behind me last night spent the whole game moaning abour Gross - too slow, can't tackle, can't shoot etc.

….other than that thought he had a pretty average game last night by his standards.

Agreed, he was brilliant, as opposed to f&%$ing brilliant.
