[Albion] Andone interview in the Athletic
- Thread starter Ernest
- Start date
I wouldn't - our 'stiffs' seem to be a highly motivated bunch of talented young players - wouldn't let him and his attitude near them. Loan him to Whitehawk or something.

Similar story with Knockaert I would imagine...

Well NSC has certainly spoken on this one! Has any player (barring Leon Best, who was on loan) ever been so universally castigated on here who wasn’t Zaha? I 100% trust Potter’s judgement and shipping Andone out sounds like the right call, but Jesus, what a bitch hunt.
Right. Bin the two of them off in the summer - with Ali J who seems out of favour - get a fee and reinvest the proceeds. The timing was where it all went so badly wrong.
Akpom?The only player wearing the stripes I have ever actually booed
It is, and I'm not quite getting it. Not the first player to have an exaggerated opinion on his own abilities, is he? In fact, cockiness is a desirable feature in a striker. There would be something wrong if he didn't think he should be starting every match. Probably all for the best though, his disciplinary record is poor, and for that reason I agree with Potter offloading him.

I don't buy that tbf to him. There are better ways of getting sent off than chancing breaking someones leg after 30 mins. A cynical tackle and then abusing the ref would have done it. I would have thought though that winning a start against Man City in the Prem would have been the main focus at the time for him but the red card and not playing hastened his desire to leave while an offer was there.
It was quite a good deal for us too, with not much time to decide, with the £600k in the bank and £45 a week saved it was a very good bit of convenient business. If he returns it will be for the right reasons.

Agree.
The criticism is and ill feeling is way OTT. It hasn't worked out for him here, that's just football. He hasn't even said anything that bad in the interview. One could argue that he was mismanaged last season by an ever more risk averse Hughton. Andone hasn't handled it very well and his sending off was idiotic but people seem to be forgetting anything good that he's done for us.

I saw a video interview with Andone post Watford where he declared how he "loved Bernardo" - translation issues obviously but clearly expressing what good mates they were.Bernardo doesn’t want him back either
Andone is a ****. We have a new manager who played him in the first two matches, one as a scoring sub and the other where he got himself sent off. How did he work out he deserved to play more when everything had changed from last season anyway
Then we hear how hated he was. All very odd. Perhaps Bernardo was the only one who didn't tell Andone what he thought of him.

I jest, it was just following on from the kick. I’ve also seen a couple of photos where they appeared to be good mates. We don’t know the story behind the kick it could quite easily have been mates pissing about over something said before they walked onto the pitch
Really disappointing end to Andone’s Albion career, if this had happened in say January I’d have had way more sympathy for him.

Sounds like he was on the YTS standard allowance!
Hmmm... not that similar. Knocky loves the Albion. Even watched the U23s at Wimbledon.

Hardly a surprise - on page 75 of the Burnley programme on Saturday, Solly March is interviewed for 'My Albion' and the following is asked:
And the dressing room diva...
He has now gone out on loan - Florin Andone. He's the biggest diva.
In case you're wondering, there are 2 definitions of diva and I suspect Solly wasn't implying the first:
1. a celebrated female opera singer.
2. a self-important person who is temperamental and difficult to please (typically used of a woman).

Compared to last season’s squad Maupay has replaced Andone and Connelly has replaced Locadia.

Talking of fans, this is the first time you have referred to the Albion as 'we' AFAIK. Are we now above Swansea in your allegiance and if so, is there another club, Swedish or otherwise, above us?
Been thinking about this now... you know what.. I feel like a dirty little whore but I do care more about Brighton than Swansea now. But I'm still Potter's bitch. When (if?) he goes, I go as well.
As I’ve said a few times he’s a red card waiting to happen on the pitch.
Given the jealousy of Murray that drips from that interview I’d be amazed if he was ice cool in training - and, if he was, that’s possibly even more psycho.

It’s definitely a “when”. Doing as well as or worse than Hughton is not acceptable. Taking us to the next level opens up big jobs in Europe or internationally IMHO.
We’ve had manager bitches before on here but [MENTION=30752]NooBHA[/MENTION] had the grace to hang around for a while after CH went and furnished the board with well informed posts. Consider the bar set.
