[Albion] Florin Andone season-long loan to Galatasaray
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
Or he picked Webster ahead of Duffy purely on footballing reasons and taking a good look at his squad? Think it is a bit of a leap to suggest that backs up a view it's off field issues.
What is Barnes' disciplinary record like now? He used to suffer from the "red mist" as well - even though I rated him at the time, I was relieved when he went. But he seems to have turned that around, so I'm surprised Potter hasn't worked on helping Andone.

It seems to me a big leap to, or just a big coincidence to suggest Potter allowing discussion on Andone going on loan is mainly to do with discipline. Yes he got a red, but that doesn't generally result in a manager getting rid for a year.
If Potter is sanctioning Andone going out on loan, I suspect it will be a lot more to do with ability, attitude and what Potter feels Andone offers than discipline. If it was just discipline, then I'd say you were right and GP would look to work on that with him, not turf him out.

I don't know why that got so many people so agitated. The theory was obviously that we didn't need height against City and the plan was to play out of defence and hit them on the break when you get past them. Webster was much better suited to passing out of defence than Duffy. Doesn't mean we will play that way every game but knowing how good City are at the high press, it seemed an effective tactic to stop the 80% - 20% possession that we normally encounter against them. Obviously didn't work with the result but I doubt Duffy would have made much difference against that attack.

Andone has scored a third of our goals in the Premier League so far.
Master stroke by the club, if true.
Actually a 1/4 #pedantalert

Agree on this.
Why move AK out instead of AJ? - must be attitude.
Why move Andone out? - must be attitude.
Yes - he cost us the game against Southampton - but is that enough to ship him out?
BIG risk IMO unless we've got someone (free agent) lined up.
I liked Andone, I like players who play on the edge, and look like they care, but I agree he's a red card waiting to happen.
Thanks for 'that' goal last season.

Not seen such Bravery!
And also thanks for the 79th minute winner v Huddersfield in March... without which ... ?!
Correct, but the other goal was scored by Watford.

Based on the tiny amount we've seen so far, I think I prefer Andone to Maupay on the pitch.... but understandable Potter wants his own men I guess....

The Season So Far
I don't understand why the player movement decisions all have to be linked?
AK's USP doesn't fit with Potter's playing ethos.
Big Jurg was given the luxury of some playing time and didn't prove himself beyond the championship (much to my surprise)
This season Andone has got the same amount of red cards as Swansea did last season.
All 3 can easily be taken in isolation.

Yes, it would be expensive and a bit disproportionate to loan out anyone who ever gets sent off
That depends on what statement you are making, message you are sending, by doing the deal.

Assuming this is the only reason, of course..
Naylor has tweeted "Breaking exclusive. It's happening and here is the background as to why?". Has anyone got an account to give us the gist?

Don't wait for me!
One rare occasion where I'd drive the player there. He's an idiot and won't be missed.
