Laner Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Very diplomatic answer from Albert. Fair play to him but as we all know situations change depending on transfer offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITW Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 People's opinion of Albert seemed to take a huge nose dive when he struggled for the second half of last season, almost as though some have forgotten how good he was in his first season and a half. He is a class act at this level and when he does eventually go, I have a strong suspicion the same people will be missing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still feel that he was carrying a knock tail end of 2011/12 and did get some rough treatment last season by opposition left backs! The level of expectation on the fella was enormous too, when so often he was perceived to be our only vaguely attacking/creative outlet and was frequently double-marked.

bristolcitysweden Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 As you say he carried the team for much of the first half of the season. A truly great player lightyears ahead of the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Anything over a million. Really? He will not leave for anything less than 2m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Horsman Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Anything over a million. To be honest if we are going to part with one of our best players for 'Anything over a million' with 2 years left on his contract we might as well all give up now.

The Fat Controller Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 To be honest if we are going to part with one of our best players for 'Anything over a million' with 2 years left on his contract we might as well all give up now. Especially if something like £800k is the going rate for Keogh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil78 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Albert is a typical English trained footballer, his game is based more on determination and pace, rather than technical football ability, For that reason I'd be surprised if he ever played at a higher level than the championship, anyone over £1m will likely be considered by the club I fear.

Swede Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 He is a great player with a great attitude. Came in for some terrible treatment second half of the season, Cov away still makes me wince. I think having a normal job and working at his game from school has really given him an appreciation of what an envious and privileged position he now finds himself in. Most unlike your average mercenary modern day footballer such as a certain West Ham reserve striker. His next test will be to develope some consistency to his crosses. I genuinely believe he missed Naynard's mobility and threat when he left. When looking for that 'A List' striker, DMC will do well to look for someone with pace in abundance win could work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie1919 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Whatever happens. He has been a great signing. Well done to the scout who picked him up. Am sure we will make a nice profit on him aswel aslong as we don't do same as what we did with Maynard. Think it was the Barnsley game where his form picked up again and what a speed he has to get away from players and good skill. Seems to be a good guy too. Not a big headed bugger like some of them.

I have to agree, as I said before ,1m and I'll drive him there! Don't dislike him but, think many overrate him on here, and actually many who sit around me in the dolmand are very sceptable of. His quality. Pace and close ball control , yep brill , football brain and ability to deliver ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarf Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 I heard Swansea and Wigan offered £4m, or were about to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hes worth more than a mil. Idiots down the road think crayola is worth 500k and believe they will get it. Id say a mil is the price for an average standard championship winger. Alberts beyond average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_red Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Quality player who seems to be burnt out second half of the season, most likely due to carrying the team for the first half of the season. Some of his skills and dribbling are unbelievable, he is far from the complete player but with improved end product would be a top half Prem Player. If he had this end product he would not be here, hopefully we have a more balanced side with more threat from other areas of the team. Hopefully this will allow Albert to flourish and have a bit more time to devolop his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 If it's only a million ("oinly"...what I'd do for one million quid...) then we say no, and play the boy so he can show his worth. If a better offer comes in January, then we let him go - if not, we re-sign him as on his day he's devastating. He's only young(ish) and last season went a bit off colour, but I reckon he can destroy teams given the right coaching. Oh, and I think Kilkenny has potential but then I know others disagree...
