As far as I am concerned, he single-handedly ruined our good start to the season's momentum. It was 3 points dropped against Shampton that would have seen us sitting in fourth place even with losing to Man City and instead we are in now a relegation battle, with Palace in fourth.
If we need to pull him back off the loan and he comes back more sensible that's fine, but with Connolly and Alzate sniffing at the Prem the door is now open for them.

Was Andone disruptive off the field?

Oh exactly. I will be just amazed given his lack of experience to date if he contributes the goals we need. Of course this may happen. I got thinking of Peter Ward.. and what an impact he first made. That was though in the old Third Division not the PL. I wish him well.

I do wonder how he tackles in training.

strong and stable with me, or...
I'm only inferring this from certain things said and done. With Locadia he's just not good enough, with Andone, he probably is but there are other reasons we're letting this happen. I don't think we'd be letting Andone go unless something bigger was going on. Just my opinion.

Must is a strong word. I simply can’t imagine Bloom saying you MUST bring academy players in to the first team this season. Rather, I think Potter and Ashworth have said ‘actually Tony, there’s some real talent in the youth, so if you wanna get some big earners off the wage bill feel free to do it now’.

I thought it was reported on here that Murray took particular objection to
an over the top tackle last season...

He also helped kick start our season, scoring with his first touch of the season.
It was indeed a stupid red card, and it did cost us. But he's a capable striker, and cutting our nose off to spite our face doesn't do us any favours.
I was one of Andone's biggest fans. Pace and nastiness, good finisher. Big potential.
But there's a fine line between having that bit of bite and being a liability.
It's a shame, he's clearly got the talent. But you go around putting in "challenges" like that and it's not going to take VAR to ensure that you miss half the season. He'll get away with way more playing for Galatasary, so it's a good move for him.
We may be light up front but I trust GP. We've played way better football this season than most of last with or without Andone.
£700k and £2.5m saved in wages is probably sensible business when you try to look at it objectively..... Still trying to look at it objectively btw and my "being a massive Albion fan" voice in my head is niggling me.
We'll see!

Yeah that's a more concise version of my general gist. Still can't help liking the nasty little **** though! [emoji23]

I'm not sure he's done anything to deserve that...

It’s almost like I wrote Potter’s comments for the website when I said this last night!
I do think we’re fine. To promote youth, you have to take a bit of a risk at times to put the faith in the youngsters and I really do think this is a calculated risk, both players look ready for this. These are exciting times.
