I don’t remember that. Thought he was great and should have been picked more often by Hughton. The reaction to his sending off was ridiculous. Looking forward to his return.

[Albion] Florin Andone just tweeted training pics of himself

I think Potter wanted to shake things up and show the players who was boss from the start.
He clearly drew a line in the sand then watched Locadia (general attitude) & Andone (attitude and on in pitch aggression) cross it. We kept the recall option for Andone to return in the January, an improvement in attitude was probably the key to him coming back.
I think that was the emotionally intelligent thing to do from the gaffer.
It might be that Andone wants to fight for a starting role now instead of assuming he is first pick........and then virtually assaulting an opposition player when he gets the chance.
For all I know he could have tried to teach him tango lessons, the Saints player is allowed to have put his leg there and Andone is not allowed to almost break into two pieces. Its a red card 365 days a week.
The Southampton player wasn’t injured. How many of Andone’s games have you seen? I don’t think he is a dirty player.

This. That moronic kick from Bernardo didn't exactly put him the right frame of mind for the red card game did it? And we're GAGGING for some overt aggression. Maupay is snide for sure, but he's no defender's idea of an in-yer-face nightmare. Or maybe Andone could just retrain as a midfielder. We've been sorely lacking in the aggression front there also, since the demise of King Kayal m'lord. Can't think of one single player in the Tinkerball setup that gives us that option

Exactly. It’s right up there with the ludicrous ban on Hemed. Absolutely no evidence of a stamp.

Amazing case of a player getting better by not being in the side

The window is shut. I suspect a sale in the summer though.Loan move to forest not on the cards, then?
He wasnt, but could easily have been because its a moronic, dangerous tackle.
Not many and I'm not saying he is a dirty player in general, I'm just saying that this one is a red card.

Or recognition that our existing striker options are limited

I'm sure Andone's grasp of English will be much better than during his first spell in Sussex.
If communication has been improved both ways it will provide a better chance of a successful spell second time around.

Connolly Maupay Welbeck Tau Zequri- do we need a 6th striker in the squad who has offered little hint of being good enough, has temperament issues to the extent that he's been thrown out of the club once, and who is on the comeback from serious injury?

Still think Maupay and Andone would be the front two of nightmares for defenders. Hopefully we will get to see it soon, this guy has talent.

Andone would be FAR from bottom of that list of strikers IMHO

If fit, then Andone is top of that list, given how dreadful our strikers have been all season. If any of them moan then just show them the video clips.
Maupay is one of the best strikers in the league when it comes to passing and putting down pressure, Welbeck is a decent player overall and Connolly got some qualities as well. What is limited is their efficiency in front of goal and Andone's goal scoring record is not exactly phenomenal.

Apart from being sent off, what else exactly did he do wrong?

Andone played under a manager that played 11 in defence and had 6 defenders on the bench. But he still scored goals. Maupay misses between 1 to 4 chances every game. Give the bloke a fair go.
