Contract durations of Albion players: first team and development squad

[whitelion]

We need his experience.

Definitely - 200+ Premier League games would be invaluable and the thing is with Sidwell (like Bruno and Rosenior) he gets better with age.

 

[GT49er]

Exactly right. I can't see Ince moving on as I don't see him being offered the same money as he's on now elsewhere.

Why? Do we know what he gets paid by the Albion?


Thought not...............

yep, a damn sight more than he's going to get from a league one side

It's probably safe to assume he is on a better wage than would be offered should a lower league club be interested

OK, if you say so. Unlikely to be anything like one of our top earners, and we're not anything like the top payers in the Championship, but...............

 

[BensGrandad]

I would say to Ince "Thank you very much and in order to get regular football we are prepared to accept a fee of £25k to let you get fixed up with another club " Then add a 30% sell on clause.just in case he should improve.

 

[AZ Gull]

Anyone know the contract status of Aaron Connolly?

He is a first-year scholar.

25k is nothing when we are dealing in millions now . I would sooner make him available on a free that way you get shot of him.

Unbelievable Jeff!

I think it's fairly well-known this season who, from the first team squad, is out of contract in the summer: all 3 of the established 'keepers, ........

I'm sure the Argus reported yesterday that Walton was the only one of the keepers with a contract for next season?

Ankgergren, Stockdale and Manepaa I assume.. Walton still waiting to make his mark on the first team

 

[Yoda]

Can see Bong being offered another deal, even if it is only as back up to a new Left Back, Sidwell the same (especially if Dale Stephens doesn't sign a new deal) for his experience. COG will be released along with Ankergren (playing side at least, may retire and stay on coaching the youngsters). From what I've seen of Mäenpää he is a solid deputy to Stockers but will both be kept or will at least one new 'keeper be brought in?

oops!

had totally forgotten Ankergren!

But it could be considerably more than he might be on from July 1st. next year! And if he spends the next 12 months just collecting his wages and maybe occasionally turning out for the U23s his value (and his future earnings potential) is going to go down.

Fair point but another loan is surely most likely and I suspect he will get a decent contract somewhere in a years time

I think it's fairly well-known this season who, from the first team squad, is out of contract in the summer: all 3 of the established 'keepers, Gaetan Bong, Vegard Forren, Dale Stephens, Steve Sidwell and, least we forget (and it would be very easy to forget) Chris O'Grady.

The development squad lads are harder to keep track of (not least because the club now has a policy of not releasing the details of contract length when youngsters step up into the professional ranks). Once again this season I have put it all together so there is a single source of info for anyone who is interested in this sort of thing.

The page can be found at Brighton & Hove Albion squad contract durations - 2016-17

We already know that of the DS lads, Tom Cadman and Connor Tighe will not be offered new contracts by the club.

Note: If you have definitive info on any of the "?" then feel free to PM me.

I've seen you've indicated that Connolly is a first-year scholar. What does that mean, for the uninitiated? Is this the same with Jayson (sp -- I know what you're like) Molumby, who I couldn't locate on your list. In terms of DS, I'm hoping that Tilley gets a new contract.

It still hurts though to throw £1.5 ? Million down the drain....

No problem with that. A loan would be fine, I reckon, for both sides - but it's all down to the negotiations. There may not be a loan deal available. If there isn't, Ince (and his agent) will have some serious thinking to do. A three year contract somewhere else, on a lower wage, or a year stagnating with the Albion (albeit on a higher weekly wage, for one year) while his earnings potential drops?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

If Ankegren is still physically able to play I would see no harm in him being a player as well as a coach. I mean, we would have to pay him either way.

Isn't there a 25 player squad max? Would he get one of those places?

Yes, for over 21yr olds.

No. FA Cup, and league cup only for Ankers if he stays.

Steve Sidwell has already asked if he can stay with a new contract (Argus)

A tough call but must be good enough for 5th choice central midfield ?
