[Albion] Carlos Baleba

[DavidinSouthampton]

Even at CB our best player.
Phenomenal talent.

He was indeed noticeably good!

I wasn’t at the game today….but was still surprised (to say the least)when the first caller on Radio Sussex laid into him

 

[Bozza]

Ridiculously good.

Some utter knobber on the Radio Sussex phone-in (Sean/Shaun possibly) was dissing him.

If you’re going to go after any player in our squad, Carlos Baleba isn’t the one.

 

[amexer]

Today was not only our best defender but also our best mid fielder

 

[scooter1]

He’s proved over the season that he is now the player the club expected him to become when he was bought. Sadly, I think he’ll leave in the summer for a Caicedo-esque fee

Quite, the only thing you could say was playing him CB, significantly weakened the midfield, but that’s not his fault

Mentioned this in the post before yours…..presuming it’s the same guy …I couldn’t believe what I was hearing

MOTM today by a mile. But should have been in midfield. The guy who signed Cashin needs firing, because it meant our best midfielder played CB.

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

Totally agree with everyone - our best player again today, by some distance… again.

Erm that was a TB signing, golden boy said it himself.
Are you going to tell TB he needs to sack himself off?

 

[J2 DOG]

Forest have 2 CBS who have been excellent this season. They were 12 million each?? We need to be more pro active when signing players to do a role. ie defending , goalkeeping.

Heard him while we were sat at the Lewes temporary traffic lights, all of us in the car shouting what a twat he was (the caller, not Carlos)

We’ll be lucky to see him in the stripes again next season IMHO

Crowd favourite. In the first ten minutes, everyone near us was oohing and aahing at every Baleba block, cushioned chest trap of the ball, dummy, 50 yard effortless advance upfield.

Our gem, praying he’s with us next season.

Was it? In which case yes, yes I am, he shouldn’t be ‘hands on’ with scouting. What’s next, pick the team?

 

[Southern Scouse]

Unfortunately, I don’t see him staying for next season. It doesn’t look like the club have pushed on this year and these young lads are not prepared to wait. I can see 2/3 clubs willing to pay £70/90m for him and he will want to go.
Sad reflection on the great game

To me he’s a £100m player. Not based on Boehly economics, but since the Caicedo transfer CL money has increased 40% I believe.

Nah, it is indeed very unlikely. Then again I was 99% sure Biss would leave after his uber strong 20/21 but we kept him around for another year.

Can see him going in summer alongside Mitoma. Villa are keen on Mitoma from what I've heard up here albeit hearsay

Villa would surely have to bid £90m for Mitoma for us considering selling him to them.
