[Albion] 2025 January Transfer Window OPEN - incoming/outgoing

[chickens]

So is he injured or not?
Why would any club sign an injured player?

If the injury is only expected to keep him out for 1-2 more weeks, I can see why a club might take a half-season loan of an injured player.

It is a risk, but I’d assume that the club loaning the player would perform their own medical as part of the deal.

El Hadji Diouf? Wasn't that the homophobic prat at Leeds who got sent off at the Amex?

"Sh*t Balotelli, you're just a sh*t Balotelli"

He’s 44 and retired so you would hope not

 

[GT49er]

You'd think, but it does sound like there's a lot of interest and I get the idea that's he's pushing for a move.

Yep, he needs Mason Greenwood to show him the ropes for being a 'pwoppah' PL footballer. Quite a lot of potential for that in Marseilles, I understand...............................

* 8 days.

It closes at 11pm on February 3rd.

I didn’t realise it’s a little longer than expected, hopefully to our advantage.

I didn’t realise it’s a little longer than expected, hopefully to our advantage.

It’s because the 1st of February is a Saturday. The top 5 European Leagues and the EFL and Premier League agreed to extend it a few days so the window ended on a Monday.

(It was announced back in May)

He’s 44 and retired so you would hope not

Wealdstone brought on a 47-year-old (who had a kidney transplant nine years, and retired from playing 16 years ago) against our U-21s on Tuesday.

St Pauli might be a reasonable loan destination - similar style to Hürzeler?

(they’ve just signed a new striker but one that will need to develp)

FC St. Pauli sign Abdoulie Ceesay - FC St. Pauli

Such an odd coincidence that the mysterious injury was reported just before the transfer window opened and cleared up in time for a move before the window closed. And seemingly there's been interest from all over the place in an injured player. I don't know what to think!!

Why would any club sign an injured player?

we do it literally all the time!

I really hope this works out for Evan. He looked such a talent two years ago.

 

[Justice]

I’m surprised the Lizard is happy with yet another baffling decision by our top draw manager.
Enciso, Goodnight and now Ferguson and we have to endure one shot on target against Everton at home. What joys.

I think EVERY Albion supporter simply wouldn’t have believed that those three would be out on loan now, with at least Enciso likely never playing for us again, if you’d ask them two years ago.

Where to start with this?!

Firstly, it was Bloom's decision to bring this manager in and who exactly has said he's a top drawer manager? He's a young, promising manager who has made mistakes as everyone, including Bloom, would expect.

Secondly, it wouldn't just be Hurzeler's decision to loan these players out. As we've know for a long time now, it would be a collective decision made between a number of people including the head coach, assistant coach's, recruitment department, Weir, Greer and probably some input from Bloom and Barber. The days of a manager making all of the transfer decisions are long gone. We know that our head coach doesn't have that much say over the decisions we make because our previous head coach spent all of last season bleating about our transfer policy.

And thirdly, if you think Ferguson and Enciso would have made any difference to the Everton game, I would suggest you haven't watched either of them play for the last year.

 

[Mancgull]

I doubt all these decisions are based on FH’s sole views. Buonoanotte was on his way out on loan before the start of the pre season tour wasnt he?
Expect that David Weir also has an input.

 

[Hiheidi]

I really hope this works out for Evan. He looked such a talent two years ago.

I agree, but at the same time if Evan and Enciso have a great second half of the season in new teams, fit and firing in the goals, it would make me question what's going on here.

 

[The Fits]

Enciso I get. He backs himself in a way that simply isn’t about confidence, there’s a real arrogance there. No huge problem with that but you can see how it could lead to an expectation that he plays more. Deep down he probably thinks and always has that he’s better than us. His actual output contradicts that. But I get why he’d feel the way he does, why he wants out and why we won’t stand in his way.
Evan is different. If he goes on loan and it’s more of the same. Struggling with injury, looking unfit, unhappy and out of form then nothing to worry about beyond how the hell do we get the kid out of this rut? If he goes somewhere, plays from the off, looks fit and motivated and scores goals, well that’s a real worry to me.

 

[brighton_tom]

The thing I dont understand about the Evan loan is that if he goes then thats potentially us a striker down for the rest of season, at a time when we've been lacking goals. Because of that the consensus seems to be that he'll only go if another comes in (Tzimas maybe). & thats great if the incoming striker is someone Premier League ready. It provides an immediate upgrade. But with the rumoured strikers we're after, and knowing our 'type', it looks almost certain to actually be a young striker that will need time to adapt. So that begs the question that if we're going to bring someone in that might take months to get upto speed & show some form, then why not instead use those minutes getting Evan upto speed?

So you would rather he went somewhere else and was sh*t? That's baffling to me.
