Florin Andone - £11.8m bid

bfccrazy · Post by **bfccrazy** » Tue Aug 15, 2017 7:53 pm

Looks like the kind of player who would win us a lot of set pieces with his quick feet and direct approach.

Could fit in very well with a game plan of making the most of dead ball situations and whipping the ball in which worked very well at Chelsea.

Yes, you're at fault. You're always at fault. Even when it's not your fault ....... you're still at fault.

What I like about all this having lots of bids in for different players shows that the recruitment team are now playing the same game as all the other clubs, in the past we have gone in for one target and then lost out to other clubs, we now go in for a few so nobody really knows who our main priority is , ok yes we would like woods but leeds have inflated the price so we move on , leeds then think they have missed out on a good deal, we go back in later and pay the going rate, it's what we should have been doing for years

La Voz de Galicia and ABC de Sevilla both reporting as a fresh bid and not 2 months ago. Consensus is they do not want to sell and we have to meet the Buy Out clause. This could be the usual posturing and part of negotiations. Interesting comment in one article is that during the close season when Southampton & Watford showed interest the player himself said he didn't want to go to the Premier League but stay with Deportivo. Perez is the key to any potential deal. Deportivo are not cash rich, ironically the signing of Andone at 4.7m was their biggest incoming transfer in years. If they are serious about getting Perez they will have to stump up nearly 25m including signing on fee and wages. Let's see but certainly an interesting prospect or maybe being used to show Leeds we won't be held to ransom over Wood.

No, people took your posts in context. The discussion is about how good a player Andone is; you posted a comment about how good he was in the Euros which was generally taken to be relevant to the general discussion. What you're saying is that it should not have been taken in context, it should have been taken as a single standalone line a propos of nothing.

No. Leeds are publicising the bids because they want to sell Wood, or else Wood's agent is publicising themn because Wood wants to leave. Burnley FC never publicise any transfer bids if they can help it. So if Deportivo and Andone are equally happy and neither of them wants the deal to go through, then Deportivo want to keep it quiet to avoid a bidding war, and Andone doesn't care, so who's going to come out with news of the bid?

That's what I find odd about it.

From what I've read, Andone is very happy at Deportivo and they don't want to sell him. He's had suitors from the Premier League before and has been quoted as saying that the league doesn't appeal to him.

Is this just a ploy to force Leed's hand over Wood?

dsr · Post by **dsr** » Tue Aug 15, 2017 9:19 pm

Certainly possible. Letting the seller believe there are other options can't do any harm.

His performance in 3 games, 1 year ago is pretty irrelevant but its the only time I have seen him play so its all I could add. I cleared up the confusion early and explained my post yet others STILL insist on taking it out of context which isn't my fault.

No, they STILL insist on taking it IN context. Don't you understand what context is?

"context - noun - the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood."

Your post was in the context of a general discussion about Andone, and that's how people took it - as part of that general discussion about his ability, in which you three times said you'd seen him play badly.

In what way is the Premier League better than La Liga. It got close a few years ago but La Liga is a class above at the moment. The last 12 international trophies have all been won by La Liga clubs. There is also more strength in depth than In the prem contrary to popular belief.
More money in the Prem? Yes. Better teams? Definitely not.

You're basing your argument off 2 or 3 clubs in La Liga and forgetting the rest of the league which is being discussed as a whole. The bottom sides in La Liga are considerably weaker than the bottom PL sides.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 6:18 am

or is it just that the top 4 sides in La Liga are much stronger than pretty much all other teams going ?
Real Madrid - European Champions
Barcelona - ridiculous team
Athletico Madrid - Usually last 8 of Champions league at worst
Sevilla - won the Europa League 3 years out of the last 4

We went to Chelsea and won, beat Liverpool last season and drew at Man Utd. No chance the bottom clubs in La Liga are worse than those in the PL. I can only assume you don't watch any of it

Surely our ability to compete with the top teams demonstrates the strength of the bottom teams.

Man Utd won the Europa League last season so i
fail to see how La Liga clubs have won the last 12 international trophies.

leightonjameslegend · Post by **leightonjameslegend** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 10:56 am

The original report of 2 months ago seems to be for a 10m bid from Sporting Lisbon. Even if Burnley did bid 2 moths ago maybe Depotivo have leaked it to either re-iginite the deal or get other clubs interested. As I said before this really does depend on the Perez deal, if they get him they will have to potentially recoup the money as they are not financially in the same league to even top championship clubs. This morning the Spanish press talking about Deportivo offering to take Loan Diego Costa on loan until January, then he can move to Athletico after their transfer ban is lifted. Some twists and turns with this one I believe!

ecc · Post by **ecc** » Wed Aug 16, 2017 10:56 am

Out of the names we've seen of late Andone is the one that stands out for me.

His stats are not scruffy: 12 goals in 37 (32 starts) in La Liga without any penalties in that total is not bad when you're talking a player from a weaker team. Deportivo's halcyon days are now sadly a distant memory. He's 24 which is very important as he can still improve.

I'm pleased to see us linked with a foreign player with his profile.

Yes, it is your fault, because you come out with some braindead, dogshite comments to provoke arguments, which when somebody replies, you then reckon that they've taken your braindead comments out of context (when everyone quite clearly knows what you mean) and then you continue to throw a massive strop like some demented diva!

You really are a class(less) act!
