Hardly the crime of the century.
He's a hothead, but this injury might have given him time to realise what he is missing.
I'm more than happy to forgive and forget.

I was just about to post the same comment.
It's encouraging that he's still popular if we want to unload him.

He's not the m........
Blessed art thou, Harry!
I recall it was stuff like ‘I was not given a chance’ and ‘they didn’t play to my strengths’ and ‘I want to be with a club who believe in me like Galatasaray’ etc.
On scale of negative comments, that sort of stuff is fairly standard. However, he didn’t say the ‘burn bridges’ type stuff; he didn’t pick out individuals, he didn’t slag off the players or City or fans or management.
I’ve got a feeling that he might be on the bench today and that he has just found out!

Did you ever watch him play for the Albion? Watch him play in Spain?
Nobody would claim he is a world-beater.He is under contract,is not going anywhere this season and when he is fit we might as well use him.
Gives us another option up front, and a bit of much-needed agg in the team. If his head is in the right place it’s a yes from me.
Aside for the first games of last season and a couple in Turkey, no.
Personally I would prefer if the club used players who didnt say they dont want to play for the club. Nothing that says he is any better than any of Maupay/Trossard/Connolly/Welbeck and as fourth/fifth choice striker I much prefer giving someone like Zeqiri game time.

For that goal against Palace he’s an absolute legend. Still wayyyy in credit for me.
No chance. He appears to be training away from the other players in the picture. I assume he is just pleased to be back on the training pitch.
Think the Hayward quote is rubbish.
If you look on insta Andone is very popular with the other players. Even Ale Mccalister!

The sending off against Southampton was a bit silly but certainly no more reckless than Lewis against Palace and there's the Paul Hayward tweet that doesn't seem to be backed up by the other social media interactions with the rest of the squad.
Definitely good enough reasons to ignore a bigger, quicker, stronger, more experienced version of Neal Maupay who is doing a great job but still learning

One of those who are willing to give him a final chance, after the way he left and his comments, I'm still not 100% on him.
Remember some very costly red cards which contributed to a difficult last season, will never survive in this VAR dominated era (more so than even last season). If he's willing to put the work in and be a reliable asset to the squad, why not...

On what basis are you claiming Andone is a more proven goalscorer than Maupay ?
Certainly not on anything I’ve seen or any stats to suggest it.

There's a story that he smashed into Glenn Murray in training, injuring Glenn's ankle. Which didn't make him very popular with some of the squad.
But with many of that squad now departed, it's possible he could make a fresh start.

What value is expertise of 'emotional intelligence' if you can't work with someone who's a bit feisty?
anyway,
1 yellow card in 16 appearances since he went out on loan (Lamptey 5 yellows and a red in 18 for us). Dunno how many of his appearances were late substitutions and maybe they don't book players in Turkey but that might suggest that Andone isn't an uncontrollable psychopath after all.

I’m not questioning his ability but his attitude on social media when he went to Turkey was I thought very disrespectful to Brighton and he inferred he didn’t want to come back to Brighton. The polar opposite of say Glenn.
