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

[Dave the OAP]

I am beyond sad at this.

look at the midfielders we have let go in the last few years.

time will tell if we now have better players than those Who have gone.

 

[Mellotron]

Real end of an era one this.

Ugh. We'll miss you Pascal. Sorry for all those times I thought you might be past it. You weren't.

 

[Boroseagull]

An amazing player we were privileged to have, watch and enjoy for 7 seasons. The complete club legend. I wish you well for the rest of your career back in your homeland. Thank you Pascal.

Just wonderful we had a player of that quality in our team so long. Happy for him, he deserves to move where he wants after serving us so well. Will miss the Cruyff turns, pin point crosses and the smile that wasn't quite a smile. Top of the Albion wall of legends. Exciting to 'operation midfield rebuild' under way.

 

[Frutos]

Gutted to see him go, but can't begrudge him a move like that.

Danke für alles, Pascal.

He’s still alive!

To put some perspective here (and I can’t be bothered to trawl NSC) but there were many on here who wanted him binned (and Solly) before Potter adapted our style of play to suit Gross and Solly and then RDZ took it to another level.

We’ve had a few great years of Gross and who knows what’s around the corner. A chance for someone else to break through and shine.

 

[Muzzman]

My favourite player, glad he had absolutely no pace whatsoever, we wouldn’t have enjoyed him for so long if he had.

 

[Originunknown]

I'm in bits

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Obviously sad to see him go, but he deserves the chance to 'go home' and play for his boyhood club whilst bringing up and getting his kids educated in Germany.

Absolutely quality player.

Thanks for the memories Pascal - hope to see you back at The Amex some time.

 

[Milano]

He's 33, gone to his boyhood club and we've made a profit!!

Taking the emotion out of it he was starting to show signs of decline, the EPL is probably the most unforgiving top division in the world in terms physical fitness. Hopefully he'll have a couple of good years in Germany.

All the best Pascal and thanks for the memories. I do hope that he comes back to say goodbye properly at some point.

 

[kevo]

Such a shame we didn't have the chance to give him the send-off he deserves. He'll be missed for sure - in some ways quite a unique player and very difficult to replace.

[HCxUK]

Without a doubt the best player my generation have witnessed in the stripes.

An absolute travesty that we never managed to get a proper song going for him - never too late though..!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

When he joined us we were fledglings. So timid it was November before we tried a long crossfield ball in the middle of the park.

When he left we were disappointed to have not finishished in the top ten. Again.

Three of our top three highest ever finishes came in the last three years.

Danke, Raumdeuter. Mit den besten Grüßen.

 

[Flounce]

Wishing him the best and thanking him for being one of our best ever players but bloody hell reading some posts on here you’d be forgiven for thinking that somebody had died

We got the best of him, onwards and upwards.

I don't get emotional when players leave........never

Ugh, kinda wish he’s just done some half arsed AI shit a-la Moises, that’s got me going again.

 

[Rookie]

Don’t think it is beyond saying that if the fee when we got him was £30 million rather than 3 we would still have got a bargain.
A sublime footballer who will be missed

 

[Blackadder]

Always the first player selected in my Fantasy League team. I need a Plan B now.

I wish you nothing but success Pascal.
