Barber:

"Evan's injured at the moment and therefore has been unlucky not to get the minutes that he deserves. But there will be others in the squad that perhaps feel the same way. We'll see how the month pans out. It's a decision for our technical staff and we'll see where we go."

"As always, where we can strengthen our squad, we will. Where we can make sure the players in our squad get opportunities to play football, maybe elsewhere in certain situations on loan, we'll look at that as well.

"But I don't expect this January to be anything like the summer months thankfully."

Very interesting.

He could have just said ‘under no circumstances will Evan be going on loan’…………

According to this West Ham news:

..."Ferguson’s representatives are keen to secure a new club for their client, and Brighton would be willing to sanction a move under the right circumstances."

Brighton "reportedly blocked a loan move to Fulham, as they did not want to strengthen a perceived rival. Intriguingly, it seems West Ham do not fall into that category.."

Fergies agents seem like complete twats. I suspect Brighton will allow it if we get a replacement which ain't happening in January surely.

I think we could be outbidded on this one with Liverpool and Real Madrid reportedly very keen.

Palmeiras are not keen to let him go in January either (not with the World Cup in the summer and a contract running until 2028). He could be sold and loaned back to finish the season with the Brazilian club (which would suit all parties. Reis is very promising but he is another 18 year old South American kid who will need time to develop so not a January necessity for us anyway but one for the future.

(I thought Webster played well last night coming on for Igor and we still have Lamptey as an option with Hinshelwood and Dunk hopefully due back in days.)

Juventus has made a bid on Fikayo Tomori (an outside chance target for us as larger clubs interested and not a player we need that much at the moment)

Not a player we need? No idea on status of Dunk and Igor injuries, but we were down to our last 2 full-time centre backs last night!

“Minnows” seems a tad harsh!

Re: Tomori, he might want to come back to England, so hard to know what a player wants when so much is governed by private lives, ability to settle, find a nice home, learn the language, plus partners, family, homesickness… so much goes on behind the scenes the gossip sheets don’t know

He is EXCTLY whart we need.

Dunk's form has been patchy and injuries seem to be catching up with him.

Webster spends a lot more time injured than not, but fortunately one of his rare periods of availability coincides with Dunk's latest injury.

Igor limped off yesterday.

As it stands, we may only have two fit centre-backs right now.

Thread on this one been running for a few days...

There’s a thread running on most of these so feel free to merge them and there was nothing on that thread about the Juventus bid so I was just posting an update.. 🤷‍♂️

(I know there was a thread on Tomori btw I listed him in my opening post as one of our targets because of the ongoing thread)

I didn’t say we didn’t need a CB at all at all of course it would be good to sign him especially in looking ahead to next season but this happens every January window - we pick up injuries and we want the January window to be used to cover players who may not be out for long term. Hurzeler has more often than not being playing 3 defenders at the back with two FBs playing further forward so we are more flexible there than if we were wedded to 4 at the back with two central defenders. Webster is back, Hinshelwood will be back soon to help out and provided we don’t sell Lamptey, the situation isn’t ideal but lets see where we are with Dunk and Igor in 2 or 3 weeks time before worrying too much because if at least one of those is back in that timeframe, the situation although not ideal, won’t be dire (IMHO!)

Ferguson’s representatives can’t do f*** all without his dad’s (Barry Ferguson’s) agreement. So if his dad thinks that his development has stalled at Brighton, he’ll be looking at options. If we think his development has stalled, we’ll encourage all manner of conversations to get Evan back to his best. That’s good development and management👍
