    [Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

    It works for everyone because the incoming sum is upfront but the outgoing one is staggered. Pushes the debt down the road in PSR terms

    [Albion] The 2024-25 Loanee Tracker Thread

    Good luck Luca! Surprised we couldn't find him something in League 1, he's got a good record of goals and assists in PL2.

    [Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

    He looks good but some of the defending he's faced is poor. We have members of this forum writing off Wieffer because he comes from the Eredivisie. Well, O'Riley has been playing football against a bunch of deep fried mars bars with legs. I like the look of him in any case, I hope he can step...

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    To each their own. Rushworth is a better goalie than Steele. It's no bad thing to have a good backup, we have been so lucky with goalkeeper injuries in the PL that as a fanbase we don't seem to understand the value of this. What is the end goal of all these loans if not him fighting for a...

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    If we're never going to give him a go in the first team, just sell him. By the time Verbruggen goes, Beadle will also be knocking on the first team door.

    [Albion] Julio Enciso - Paraguay’s new wonder kid (Signed 17/06/2022)

    Contract expires 2026, it wouldn't surprise me! And it also wouldn't surprise me if it turned into a Sanchez or Caicedo style saga either. We have so many young talented players that have ambitions at the highest level, we have to get accustomed to the fact that they will want to move on from...

    [Albion] Sarmiento

    I like Sarmiento, though it feels as though his peak would probably be what's required to stay with us. Or rather, he is perfectly capable of being a mid table PL player, which is what we require at BHA, and Is still an incredible career for any aspiring footballer. But he won't develop into...

    Is that where the RDZ one is/was?

    [Albion] Napoli interested in Billy Gilmour **Sold 30/08/24**

    I like that we're the seagulls, it's very appropriate to Brighton and easy to chant. No difference to me that it's not some big intimidating predatory animal, better that there's a local link. They should change the badge so that the seagull has some chips in its mouth. Better than the...

    [Football] Enzo Fernandez involved in racist chant

    So f***ing lazy of them. Say something racist, oopsie here's two days of my earnings to some random charity I found on Google. That's that sorted.

    [Albion] Facundo Buonanotte **On Loan To Leicester 10/08/24**

    A buy option between 15-20m is nothing, if he develops how we expect. Yes it's Feyenoord's record but if he's that good they could buy him at 15 and flip him at 30 no problem at all and then we're out of pocket. Although having said that maybe that accounts for the value they've given him by...

    [Albion] The Great Albion Midfield Rebuild - Summer ‘24 edition

    If Buonanotte goes on loan, we need someone else, yes. In that case we're light on numbers for an attacking midfielder, I've no problem to admit that. Hopefully Gomez is coming now, rather than January.

    [Albion] The Great Albion Midfield Rebuild - Summer ‘24 edition

    Fair enough, "name someone" was a bit of lazy hyperbole from me. Kadioglu is probably the most realistic option out there, but I'm skeptical that we will land him given the price Fenerbahce want and the rumoured competition from the rich 6. That would also solve our RB issue. In terms of...

    [Albion] The Great Albion Midfield Rebuild - Summer ‘24 edition

    The role that Gross plays will have to be split between multiple players. Players as skilled AND adaptable as Gross are incredibly rare, and any who are already "proven" (as is the buzzword on here) will cost a fortune. If you can suggest a replacement who can do everything Gross does, is...

    [Albion] The Great Albion Midfield Rebuild - Summer ‘24 edition

    Very true I suppose we have no leg to stand on there. We also don't know the reasons why they leave (could be family reasons for example, not simply money). But to put all that money into developing the academy and still lose top talent is frustrating. I guess it's just where we are in the...

    In that same thread, the suggested CM backup for Man United is our own Lancing-grown Toby Collyer. Very frustrating that even with the investment in our youth teams and facilities, some of our best prospects like Collyer and Mhueka still get poached. I hope the club have got a beady eye on the...

    [Albion] The Great Albion Midfield Rebuild - Summer ‘24 edition

    A midfield of Wieffer - Baleba - Enciso for me offers a good blend of physicality, flexibility and creativity. The attacking midfield options are the riskiest. There's lots of lightweight players with high ceilings but as yet unproven. Opportunity for someone to fulfill their potential have a...

    [Albion] The Great Albion Midfield Rebuild - Summer ‘24 edition

    For two starting midfield berths and a midfield/CB combo berth we have (including for now those likely to be sold)... Moder, Gilmour, Dahoud, Wieffer, Baleba, Hinshelwood, Yalcouye, Milner, Buonanotte, Enciso, potentially João Pedro can also play AM. Then fringe players like Sarmiento, Moran...

    [Albion] Pascal Groß the raumdeuter - officially leaves for Dortmund :(

    Sarmiento, Moran and Ayari are among those I would call fringe players who may or may not be sold/loaned. Buonanotte too if the Feyenoord links are to be believed. Depends on whether Hurzeler wants them, whether Gomez comes in now and whether someone else like Gruda is s real target...

    [Albion] Pascal Groß the raumdeuter - officially leaves for Dortmund :(

    There's just so much competition. Players by their preferred position, those in brackets more of a backup option. Left wing - Mitoma, Adingra, Osman (Enciso, Sarmiento) Right wing - March, Minteh, Cozier-Duberry (Adingra, Buonanotte) Attacking midfield - Buonanotte, Enciso, Sarmiento (Gómez...
