Albion offer Loft one-year deal
By Andy Naylor

Albion's fringe midfielder Doug Loft has been offered a new one-year contract.

Loft made only his second start of the season in the Seagulls' closing 1-0 home defeat by League One champions Swansea on Saturday.

Boooooooooooooooo

 

[bright1064]

I can't f***ing believe this! Rents, Reid, Butters and Mayo all deserved a contract more than Loft!

JOKE!

Are him and Wendy having an affair or something?!

 

[Strike]

Prefered Martot over Loft, then again Metz sounds more tempting.

Deano ses the light...lookout for attacking midfilder Loftie to do what he should have been allowed to do this year... take the division by storm!!!!!

I can only assume that he shows something in training that he forgets to pack on match days.

I think he's worth another year. Works hard and seems to be developing a knack of scoring from midfield. Decent squad player with a good attitude.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Its easy to say that others 'deserved a contract more'. Would those others realistically have accepted whatever has been offered to Loft.

Hint; Its probably not very much!

What the f*** did Loft do on Saturday? to impress Wendy that much. He was non-existent, he never tackled, and everytime he got the ball he always seemed to go backwards. Why oh why have we offered him a new deal?!

 

[BigGully]

He's young and looked stronger, only the coaching staff know how is progressing in terms of training etc. but I am sure he has worked hard and his wages are likely to be failry low in comparison to some that have left and many that are still there.


To compare Mayo, Hart and Butters to him is a strange one.

No real comparison to what they have been and what they are now.

Maybe some of the yougsters are being pushed forward a year or two sooner than even Wilkins would like, but we started Saturday with 5 local youngsters and they did well against arguably the best team in the division and I thought looked comfortable.

I believe he's only been given a three monther, to prove himself a la Dean Hammond.

It's not just about Saturday though is it.

It's about training (which we don't see), reserve games (where by all accounts he impresses), and away games (this being key - he's performed well at places like Doncaster, Yeovil and QPR, but generally been poor at Withdean so far).

He's young, fit, cheap - worth another year at least.

But Saturday wasnt a trial game and I thought he did ok.

The decision is based on his work he has done throughout the year.

We have offered a year, not a guaranteed position in the team every Saturday !

And Martot. And maybe Hart.



Loft for fucks sake. Doug Loft.

Doug.
