Albion player contracts - duration

[AZ Gull]

NSC posters often enquire about the contract duration of various Albion players. Bozza has plans to provide this info, as he indicated on another thread:-

I want to host a permanent page that has current contract info. It's on the 'to do' list...

In the meantime, some of you may find this useful:-

All this information comes from publicly-available sources, primarily: the official club website, the Argus, and the monthly Football Association Player Registration Bulletins. Whilst it is possible there may be one or two errors in the above info (for instance, the club often doesn't give contract durations for development squad players - and it hasn't officially announced the arrival of goalkeeper Josh Smith, as far as I am aware), I am confident that this list is the most complete, accurate and up-to-date information that you will find.

If you have reason to believe any of the above info is out-of-date or inaccurate, please reply to this thread or PM me.

Well from that you can see who has had interest in them from other clubs recently quite clearly! And what goalkeeper will be in the fold very soon...

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Wasn't Lua Lua meant to be on a unique '3 season long loan' from Newcastle ?





Seriously, that is all good info, thanks.

 

[Mowgli37]

Great work, thanks for sharing. We need to get Dunk on a long contract as soon as possible. PIG, Upson, Lualua and March also should get extensions. Hope we give Rea a new deal as well, he's looked good whenever I've seen him for the DS.

 

[keaton]

We've done excellent work getting Agustein and Maksimenko sorted for another year.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Time to cut and run with Orlandi? Fantastic player and probably our most creative but his injury problems are a concern. Time to invest in new blood perhaps?

 

[Machiavelli]

Thanks AZ. You might be due another award to sit on the mantelpiece alongside El Pres's one.
This list really does show the way in which the club are treating FFP. I'd imagine if lists were compiled for previous seasons, the contracts would be far longer (but I'm not asking you to verify this claim AZ, unless you particularly want to).

 

[Luke93]

How much is Agustein on?? 8K a week?? That's going to cost us like 400K a season for his 6 appearances..

Nice thread BTW, should be a sticky.

We did. His name is Stephens and he rarely plays despite his excellent performances.

Stephens has played pretty much EVERY game since he joined, that he has been fit for.

This appears to be an accurate assessment.

 

[Petee]

From what I saw on Monday, I would say Hunt and Rea need to be signed up ASAP! Would also be nice to keep Richards a bit longer maybe another year.

excellent. are you sure. been average so far. although it's early days with him to be fair

 

[Kumquat]

An interesting list. I think given we have Walton tied up and he is clearly quality would be good to see him brought through soon as cover for Kusczak or whoever replaces him if he gets a better offer. Agree with Mustafa on Solly March and though he hasn't been as good as expected this year Forster-Caskey we need to sort.

He's on £10k a week. This is the only bit of inside knowledge I've had or am ever likely to have.

 

[Luke93]

Wow! His two year contract is worth over a million. Get him on he bench at least!!!

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Can someone confirm what squads we have too.
Obviously a first team but I keep seeing reference to a development squad - is this the new name for the reserves - aka the stiffs?
Also, I hear of u21 with permission to play some overage players [how many, how much older]
Is there also u19?
Others?

Be grateful if someone could set out how it is or post a link.

Cheers ....

The development squad is a new universal term for what used to be the reserves. I think we were one of the first teams in the country to use this term. It mainly features players under the age of 21 but can feature players over that age. The club seems to call it the under 21 squad but it is indeed the development squad.

We also have an under 18 and under 16 team.

If they renew Lopez's contract I won't be renewing my Season ticket. Why Oscar played him in the middle of the park today.... Maybe he's going to go in goal next week?

Because if you want to play passing football it might help to have one player who can pass in the team?
But yeah, Lopez was definately the problem on Saturday
