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

[chickens]

I want Moder to do well, I like him. Having said that, he has to show what he’s about this season.

He’s worked his way back from injury, he has the chance to impress a new manager, and he needs to work out what the manager wants and make a position/role his own.

If he doesn’t/can’t then it’s over for him here. It’s a minor miracle he’s back playing again at all, and I’ll wish him well wherever he goes, but I’ll be a bit frustrated because I still feel that there’s a real player in there somewhere, I just don’t feel we’ve found him.

We can find out if Hans solo is that Swedish idiot by posting this:

hey Hans…potter was really shit, do you agree?

sits back with popcorn

AFAIK "Han Solo" has already acknowledged that he previously posted as "Swansman".

Igor has been fit and playing the last couple of years, I don't think he is going to show us more than he has. Moder has been out for the best part of 2 years. He may be just a squad player, at the moment, but he is already here, not someone we need to go for, and I think he can be a frequent starter. We don't need to move him on.

.
To be fair to Igor, it was his first year in the Premier League. All things considered, I think he did alright. A decent squad member.

This guy is normally reliable isn’t he?

 

[um bongo molongo]

He’s gone isn’t he

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Shouldn't they be talking to us first? "Final decision has been made"? Not if we decide to keep him, it hasn't. He's under contract.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Such sad news if true. from a Brighton prospective anyway. Good luck to Pascal though, after seven loyal years at the Albion he deserves his move home.

Next season could be summer 2025?

 

[portslade seagull]

Can we vote for an u21 senior player of the season next year as it seems to be a poison chalice to the club as the player immediately leaves

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

True. And I don't begrudge Pascal the move, just the language in this article.

 

[Gabbafella]

Gutted to see him go, genuine nice guy and he's been excellent for us over the years.
Nothing but respect for the man and I wish him all the best.

The two coked up morons who sit in front of me are going to have to find a new player to constantly whine about now.

Yeah I really don’t understand or agree with all this ‘we’ve persuaded your under contract player to join us before we’ve agreed anything with you’. Strange.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

True. And I don't begrudge Pascal the move, just the language in this article.

I agree, as they should approach his current club for permission to speak to him.

Clubs usually give permission for a player's agent to discuss these kinds of deals while negotiations are ongoing to speed things up.

Yep I am fairly certain that Albion would be in the loop

As reliable as they come…

Auf Wiedersehen, süßer Prinz.

It's the reason why you never hear of players rejecting clubs when an offer has been accepted. Club approaches agent to ask if player would be interested. Agent and player then ask if its okay to start discussions with potential buyers. Usually this gets accepted with conditions. The the two clubs start negotiating with each other over transfer while buying club will negotiate whit player and agent over contract details.

Bummer..

 

[Johnny RoastBeef]

As sad as it will be to say goodbye, this is the right time for both him and the club.

I looked at his whoscored ratings for last season, which show that his level definitely dropped towards the end of the season. He may have been saving himself for the Euros, but at 33 his best years are behind him and a shiny new £30m+ replacement will soften the blow.

Danke Kaiser.
