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

[GT49er]

Seems so - article I posted this afternoon were saying after playing at the weekend, fans noted Cashin had stayed behind a lot longer waving ‘goodbye’ and he also wasn’t wearing the captain’s armband. That has fuelled speculation amongst fans that the Rams have accepted a bid from us.

Derby County & Brighton transfer now feels inevitable before February 3 deadline

Cashin is being pursued by Brighton and, if Saturday is anything to go by, the deal seems almost inevitable.

Possibly to be replaced at Derby by Matt Clarke, who was our player for several seasons, but never kicked a ball in anger for us.

Gross was the lynchpin for a lot of players, needed a like for like replacement.
That wasn't going to happen, so have to change system.
There seems to be a bit of unrest in the camp as well.

Does there? That’s quite a statement to make. Where’s your proof of that?

Certainly nothing evident last week when we were winning three in a row - amazing what one defeat does to some fans.

Fotbol Direkt has us apparently still interested in pursuing last year’s target, Bazoumana Toure (as are a number of other clubs)

Looks like he's off to Hoffenheim.

Yes, also mentioned in the article above but perhaps not a long term solution as Nelson also out on long term injury:

“As Football League World exclusively revealed on Friday, former Rams loanee Matt Clarke could be returning to Pride Park some three-and-a-half years after last playing for the club, and they are in pole position to land the 28-year-old's services.

Being a left-footer just like Cashin, Clarke would go some way to temporarily replacing his services, but Paul Warne would need more, given Curtis Nelson has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.”

Based on what? Some unconfirmed bratty comments from Enciso and a bunch of unfounded nonsense on here from people who don't rate the manager?

I think we may have cooled our interest as our need for defensive reinforcements became a higher priority.

Agree that I’d take comments from Enciso with a pinch of salt. He seems quite immature and I don’t think his agents are helping him.
However, rumours of fallings out with Dunk and Welbeck are more disconcerting.

But still rumours we have no proof for. Both have looked perfectly happy since return from injury.

Source for both of these please?

Completely unsubstatiated rumours. Not only unsubstantiated but based on absolutely nothing, other than a need to rationalise why we were so poor on Saturday for the first time in 6 games.

Yes, that is exactly the nature of rumours, that's what they are!

Looks like this won't be sorted till the last day or two of the window. Interesting that Naylor frames the loan as protecting his value, as opposed to restoring his form/confidence. I get the feeling he'll be off in the Summer.

if he goes on loan in the PL, surely Everton would be the best destination out of all those, given the injury to Calvert-Lewin. It's still a mystery if Ferguson is injured or not, though ....

 

[Zeberdi]

No no no - not even rumours please - not after seeing Lamptey at LB on Saturday!

Exclusive: Leicester City turn attention to signing Tariq Lamptey

Football Insider has learned that Leicester are plotting a late-window move for Brighton defender Tariq Lamptey.

He talked about "playing regularly to regain rhythm ...and the route back to form and confidence" in the sentences - in that piece - before the ones he quotes in that tweet. ie: the primary benefit.

he's also written another piece this January saying Albion have a long term plan for Ferguson - not surprising given he has a contract until 2028 and is 20 years old. .

Well, he's off for free in the summer, isn't he? So .................................

Maybe if we don’t give him an extension but why on earth would we consider parting with him half way through the season when we have barely enough defenders as it is?

 

[Gabbiano]

Agree, frankly the 2-3 million we might get for him with 6 months left will be lost anyway if we don't have enough cover and drop another couple of places in the table.

I haven't heard any rumours that he's agreed/going to agree to a new contract/contract extension - so, as of now, AFIK, the reality is that he's off for free in the summer.

Hurzeler was asked about it a few weeks ago. Sounds like to me - they are negotiating.
