[Albion] Jakub Moder - SIGNED ON 5 YEAR DEAL - LOANED BACK "FOR THE TIME BEING"

[nwgull]

Agreed - but over the years it appears we have signed numerous players for the U23's but it's a real shame so few have made it up to the 1st team squad. Alzate though is the one bright spot recently and a player who I think will get better and better now being given his chance.

It's a numbers game. Something like 10% of the U23s are predicted to make it to Premier League level. We currently have 4 players in our squad that have come through our U23s since we started signing players for the academy in 2014 (3 of whom are regular starters), as well as a few players playing at Championship level who may make the step up. I think we're doing well on this front.

As per Argus, he’ll be playing against Goldson, Balogun and Nunez in the Europa League this autumn. Some nice opportunities to scout those matches against Standard Liege, Benfica and Rangers and see what type of player we might have.

I remember the good old days when the scouting was done before the £6m transfer.

Can't find him on football Index, can't be any good , perfect signing for a #teamlikebrighton.

We've been doing that for years though. Many a player signed for the U23's - how many have made it?

Jan Paul van Hecke - our newest signing now out on loan.

Wonder what happened to these guys from the past? (And I genuinely don't know the answer to where most of them are/went - so feel free to fill in the blanks as to where they are now)


Jack Harper - Getafe?
Vahid Hambo - FC Lahiti
Tyler Hornby-Forbes - Spennymoor Town
Jan Mlakar - Maribor on loan
Ales Mateju
Mathias Normann
Soufyan Ahannach
Elvis Manu
Joe Ward
Nzuzi Toko
Emil Asmundsson
Vitalijs Maksimenko
Roland Bergkamp
Raphael Rossi
Vegard Forren

I wonder how many of those we made a profit on? Don't think we'd get much money from the likes of Go Ahead Eagles (Ahannach), or clubs in Bulgaria (Elvis)!

Mateju made us decent money and we are all hoping we have a significant sell-on for Normann as he could be sold for large money this widow or within the year.

Connolly is quite a bright spot too.

Just realised quite how brave these signings are and especially this one. Was just curious to see where the polish league ranks with UEFA, expecting it to be top 12-15, it’s actually 23rd

Above it is Belarus and Cyprus and even the Scots come in 16th, our old faves the Dutch in 10th......

Doesn’t mean he won’t be a top quality player for us, but it’s a lot braver at that sort of outlay considering the perceived quality of the Polish football league.

Has he actually signed yet

This is obviously done but the club probably don’t have time to announce whilst they are working on the other dealS [emoji6]

i am thinking pole no.1 at 2130 hrs and the second more expensive one at 2155 hours and window slams shut

Is that ‘more expensive’ according to transfermarkt or twitter gossip as they are contrary.

Which one first? is Moder or Karbo in Pole position. Can’t wait to Krakow the champagne.

Believe the Medicals were undertaken and passed in Germany today.
Not sure how signings will be announced.

 

[Whitechapel]

Let's hope they're waiting to announce a triple signing.
