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

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Amongst the many to choose from he's the Player of the Season for me.

I was Solly all the way, but yep, Pascal is making a late charge!

His goal yesterday summed Pascal up to me. It all seemed to be done in slow motion but with the utmost class and precision!

Be honest how many 'just hit it!"'s did you manage to get out before he actually hit it. I think I was on my 17th.

Mitoma has to win POTS. For me it would be a disgrace if he didn’t.

Agree.

He has always been in the top 2/3, throughout the season. That high level of consistency/reliability, versatility and goals means he takes POTS for me, against many other valid candidates!

Can you say it's a disgrace when probably 6 or 7 of the all time best Albion season performances have been in this season?

I would absolutely love Gross to win it. You could see at the final whistle how much this seasons achievement meant to him. I think he might be ascending into All Time Albion Great status.

What a player, what a man

First goal for us in the EPL
Goal that beat Man Utd to keep us up in the first year:
Most assists for Brighton in the EPL
Joint top goalscorer for us in the EPL
Goal that sealed our European Qualification

Has any club ever spent a better £3 million since we've been in the EPL?

he was outrageous value for money. In terms of longevity, ability and value he's possibly our greatest ever signing

What a player, what a man

I really think we may have to have a number of player of the season categories:
1. Best Centre Half/captain and big nose
2. Best attacking centre midfield who can also play right back
3. Best defensive midfield player, who can also play right back
4. Best attacking midfielder who can also play in a pivot, and has won a world cup medal
5. Best attacking left back
6. Best attacking left wing
7. Best attacking right wing, who can't take penalties.
8. Best right back who knows the dark arts and sometimes covers as centre half.

Have I missed anyone?

Then as for young player of the year ...

9. Best teenage Striker since Rooney?

Groß & Dunk, two Albion legends starting games in the Euros next year? The unthinkable is close to becoming reality.

Incredible isn’t it?! They’ve both done amazingly, so inspirational. Would love March to get his chance at some point and make it a hat trick for the three Albion legends.

Not directed a Nagelsmann, but what what are these managers at international level looking at? It's their job to understand the talent available and make good, and sometimes risky, decisions. No player should be "under the radar" to an international manager if they're playing in one of the top 5 leagues.

Not only playing (for now 9 successive seasons in a top 5 league), but recording some of the most impressive chance creation stats in said leagues, and of course scoring some iconic and hugely important goals in his time here - many of them against Man United (not as relevant a detail maybe but amusing nonetheless).

I somewhat agree, but it's about the manager and our new European status isn't it?

Too big a risk to go and select players who aren't already competing in elite continental competitions, under elite managers, in the hope they'll be good enough to make the step up. It's not that Pascal wouldn't have been noticed, it's that his ability hasn't always befitted his surroundings until recently. He's now proven he's more than capable at a higher level and he's being rewarded for that

Most international Managers have Garth's number on speed dial to keep them up to date with the world's best talent.

Quite right not to direct it at Nagelsmann, it was his first game in charge after all and he started Pascal. But yes what were his predecessors thinking?

 

[Bakero]

Disappointing that none of them went for Raumdeuter.
