[Albion] Andone interview in the Athletic

HastingsSeagull · Sep 20, 2019

Our 3 strikers this season might be a different style than before, but they score goals. We don't need like for like replacements especially when a new manager comes in. I'm sure the team is adaptable style wise and isn't that meant to be the top thing about Potter anyway?

Considering at least Murray and Maupay seemingly never get injured I think people are a bit overly worried about the number of attacking players; sure, optimally there should be one more attacking player, but its far from bad as it is.

Quality wise.... might be a bit more reason to worry. I know I swear in church now, but the initial matches have sort of brought up the question "is Glenn Murray a Premier League level player in 2019?"

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.

Now you're talking, we're have him at Arundel, there's a couple of sheds need painting and some grass cutting

Agreed, as it would seem Ali J is only still with us by default - that being that no other club wanted him.

Add to that list: Suttner, The Greyhound (innumerate) development squad fullbacks since departed... I suspect the original recruitment team are trading off Gross and Ryan... even Bissouma is proving costly vs tangible delivery, izquierdo too - initial impact followed by a season out and unfit now dragging on into a second.

Ultimately are PL status has been held together by our Championship core, now ageing and/or retired, and/or out of favour, form and/or steadily declining into abject mediocrity.

Big season for Bissouma- if we’re honest he hasn’t done a huge amount yet.
No idea what his best position is or how he fits in to the current formation.

Bloody exciting player. I think he’ll be immense under Potter, but then I think El Galgo will be back in the team thrilling us too. I guess I just like flair players :shrug:

Unless I missed it skimming through this thread, the people who said he may have been unfortunate last season seem to have forgotten that he was given his chance.

Another stupid sending off after the West Brom cup game meant he missed three matches where he could have staked his claim and his chance was lost.

Exactly, whenever he seemed to get that chance for consecutive starts, he either got sent off or turned in a lack lustre display. He and Jahanbakhsh had a huge number of chances to impress last season. I don't buy it was all down to CH's tactics, if they'd been better we would have been able to attack more. Proof is in the pudding that a new manager with a different mindset thinks exactly the same as the last.

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

So sad, l really liked the guy and thought that this was going to be the season he broke through, new manager, new ideas, everyone starting with a clean slate etc. etc.

He really does seem to have shot himself in the foot with those comments, and one thing is for sure, if he doesn't want us then we certainly don't want him. Never keep an unhappy player, and bad for dressing room morale anyway.,

Definitely seems to be a bit of PR surrounding El Galgo and his comeback. Would love to see a bit more of the player that fronted up in the game against Chelsea....with 3 CBs his suspect defending at times might be outweighed by what else he offers................

I seem to remember we once kept a moody young player who wasn't at all happy to be in Brighton after moving from Rochdale .....................

With a manager who fecking hated him and didn’t want him. Not the same

We still kept him though - and he didn't like being here.

Farehamseagull · Sep 20, 2019

Don’t agree with the way he’s gone about this and clearly he and us are going to have to move on now but I do agree with him that he should have played more last season.

The only way to find this out though was to get a new manager.

SussexSeahawk · Sep 20, 2019

Personally I think fans take comments like this a bit personally. People on here are more than happy to slate a player when they don't play well but when a player doesn't feel like they've been given a fair shake by the club, the player for some reason is meant to be all contrite and just placate the fans by saying what a great club it is.

I think Andone was a bit unlucky in terms of minutes: I consistently felt we looked better in games when he came on and he never got the same amount of faith placed in him as Murray. Clearly he made errors and maybe like Hemed the year before an untimely suspension didn't help his cause.

Headline. Andone denies he doesn't want to come back

Well it seems he doesn't completely want to burn bridges.
