[Albion] Florin Andone (LEAVES BY MUTUAL CONSENT)
- Thread starter saafend_seagull
- Start date
Bearing in mind that is what the club we're about to pay for a second division striker in Switzerland, I should jolly well hope so.

But we reportedly had a €20mill bid turned down on deadline day so what on earth makes people think they’ll take €10mill

Reportedly being the word here. Not to mention that and he’s hardly been playing in the ensuing 4 months means that whatever we bid on deadline day in August isn’t likely to go up when we have another month to conclude business.

Why would the club start at €20m?
The fella hasn't started for them since mid Oct.
Has only scored 3 goals, and wasn't even in the 18 for their recent game v Barca.
At least the club appears to have learned one lesson from the Summer:-
Lowballing the transfer bid on the 28th Dec, is a better time to start than the 28th Jan.

But he has something Tomer will never have.... pace!

That’s good, just hope he has something else Tomer struggles with - finding the net more frequently!

Of course they won’t start at €20mil (I don’t think I said we would?), I just find it hard to believe DLC will entertain a bid of half that amount? If anything prices have gone up since August and they seemingly want to sell so will be holding out for a lot more and we won’t be the only buying club this window

That'll be the gamble the Albion are playing with.
I'm of the 'ah f**k it' school of financial management, which is why I have no money.
At the very least I'd have started the bidding high enough to be interesting.
Rumoured to be lowballing DlC is a dangerous game to play, esp when it seems like half of the Premier League need a striker.

Because, according to foreign reports, he's now transfer-listed.
Deportivo's next game isn't until 07.01.18, so we have a lot of speculating time until their next team sheet.

What? So that means they’ll take half the amount they were offered 4 months ago?
No, it means they now want to cash in. Absolutely no way they’ll sell an international striker for €10mill in this climate

Burnley's original bid for him wasn't far off that figure though when they were thinking of him as a replacement for Gray. It wouldn't surprise me if that 10.8m figure being bandied about is the 'base' figure though. You would expect them to build in a % of next sale clause and also another good size payment if we avoid relegation this year.
It means that, unlike before, they see no future for him at the club. And his form since the move fell through on deadline day will also have harmed his value, form that possibly suggests he is no longer playing to his full potential because he badly wants to move.

Denbele v Andone, both similarly priced, we're starting in the right place. Not many PL teams will be wanting a striker sat on the bench or not even in the squad on their hit list, he may not be on the radar of as many clubs as is being purported on here.
Many times there is a legitimate reason for that. You get what you pay for.

Because he's hardly played since October (apparently, according to some posters on here) so won't be fully match fit until about the end of February - so he's not as valuable?

Nobody will pay 20 million for him now, well I don't think so anyway.
I'm pretty sure his value wont have halved, but I don't think its unreasonable that 13 million could get it done

Looks like the coach at Deportivo is changing to a 4-4-2 to accomodate Andone back into the team (alongside Perez) after their disappointing first half of the season where he has hardly featured.

Wonder if there is actual substance to that, or just a bit of noise to try and bump the price up for a player that has been clearly out of favour all season?
