[Albion] Zeqiri *Season-long loan to FC Augsburg*

So, he'll come in and score a tonne of goals, then go through a spell where he misses everything and is sold on? :)

To be fair to Kurt, pushing him out wide bought about his downturn - I see Andi moving central before too long and I reckon the goals might follow ... much like Kurt (at his level)

Love a bit of Nogan !

Looked really sharp against Leicester in the cup and clearly has a sweet left foot. Swiss Andi is a lover but Kosovan Andi is a killer. What a combination. Give Neal a deserved rest and unleash him with Welbeck

Burn and even more so March at LWB would get plenty of shooting opportunities that they would squander. Zeqiri could have the ability to put some of those chances away. He’s definitely shown he isn’t afraid to pull the trigger. Starts against Newcastle for me.

then many players wouldn't be playing would they if you applied that logic. Burn is often shown as some massive bungler when in reality going forward he isn't.

The Welbeck flick inside made that move, making it easy for Burn. I could of picked out Gross in Burns position ffs! Wasn't a defender near him.

Besides, I've never said Burn's a bad player, but ANY player at that level should be able to pick out that pass.

On the (12 man) bench for the Swiss national team tonight in a friendly vs USA. Might indicate a reasonable chance of being involved in the full 26 player squad for the Euros, would be great to see.

Very interesting that Naylor does not deny or rule out that Reading are after him on loan.

That would leave us with just Maupay (poor finishing consistency) , Welbeck (poor fitness consistency), Connolly (poor attitude consistency) and Big Jurg (A DJ by trade). Surely a new striker is on the way???

An MC is more likely

When you're third or fourth choice for a team that generally plays one striker, its a lot of bench-warming. I'm happy we have a club that prioritises development - I think its worthwhile sacrificing the odd goal off the bench this year for potentially an excellent striker in a year or two

If Maupay isn't fit enough to start against Everton why not start with Swiss Andy, he must be flushed with confidence after bagging a goal against Cardiff, nothing to loose.

If we don't have Maupay available, we have the new signing Connelly that everyone keeps talking about.

Or Connolly who came on against Watford and looked full of running and just needs a goal to get him started.

Actually, I agree with you and would like to see Swiss Andy start. Unlikely though :)

It's a big "If" thing. If we sign another striker, he may well go on loan. If Else Stay.

I'm done with Connolly. If anyone need to go out on loan it's him.
