[Albion] Brajan Gruda, what does he do?

[AstroSloth]

Top quality assist for the Baleba winner, really created that goal.

 

[Flounce]

Sets up amazing comebacks?

 

[Sirnormangall]

Thought he did well today - other than the reenactment of Weiffer’s last minute attack v Wolves

 

[Sea Cider]

I'll keep repeating it, I'm pretty convinced Gruda will be a world class player. His confidence and directness is rare in someone of his age. When things "click" he'll be one of our best players. Feel free to quote this in a year or two!

 

[Soton Seagull]

I refer to him as f'in hell Brian, as generally that's what I say because if most things he does. Still raw, including screwing up our 5 vs 3 attack.

Fair play to his calmness and vision for the Mitoma goal, however. Well done sir.

 

[Pavilionaire]

A wide man who does not have pace or trickery. I've not been impressed with what I've seen so far, but I hope he can build on his fine assist for Mitoma's goal. Personally, bottom line - I'd sell to a decent Bundesliga side while his stock in Germany is still reasonably high.

He’s not a wide man, is the thing, he’s a 10 being played out of position at RM.

Anyway, whom do you propose we sell him to, some underdog chasing Europe like Mainz?

I think he's got something too, and said very early on in the season. Theres somwthing a bit Grealish about uim. HOWEVER, I also now think he could really do with a loan. Unless he properly Ayari's it during the summer and comes back on another level. I think him setting up the goal covered his usual decision issues, too slow on the ball and ALWAYS overcomplicates things, runs into dead ends, turns back one too many times etc.

That pass to mitoma...Ach. so annoying. The simplest of passes.

I reckon a season on loan and he'll be able to iron out all that stuff.

 

[Invicta]

Nice assist, started the comeback.

We could do worse than speak to Bayern Munich about a swap deal for Sacha Boey. They were very interested in Gruda, we were interested in Boey and we need a pacy right back.

I agree, I am surprised that people don't see the potential. To be fair though I am not sure he will end up a wide player.

More or less my thinking although I’m not as confident as you!
I like him, he hasn’t set the premier league alight, but his confidence and directness are just what we need at times.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Very talented boy. Excited about his future.

Sell him already!

That’s right sign another injury prone player

 

[trueblue]

I really haven’t spotted the brilliance some have seen, other than on internet clips of him playing elsewhere. He’s ok and must have potential but generally runs into a lot of blind alleys. Probably about the same level as Buonanotte was when he started (and similarly shunted out to the wing, which didn’t help). I thought Facundo was coming on in leaps and bounds and starting to look a real player, stronger, more aggressive, more productive. Don’t think he deserved to drop behind Gruda in the pecking order. I don’t want any of our players to fail - hopefully Gruda will get better and better - but would prefer the loans to be the other way around next time.

This. Said it previously, he’s too predictable out wide, far better more centrally

 

[jackalbion]

Needless to say my work here is done.

 

[brighton_tom]

Worked hard when he came on. 2 match winning assists!

 

[Flounce]

Needless to say my work here is done.

So after yesterday we can take it you are now on board?

No Gruda yesterday would have probably meant no points and Europe gone

Facu didnt fall behind Gruda. It was recognised that he needed far more game time than we have been able to give Gruda this season to develop and that was only going to happen somewhere else. That was going pretty well untiol Horse face turned up at Leicester.
