[Albion] Leavers Summer '25? (Vote all that apply)

[Beanstalk]

Surprised so many are saying Pedro. I don't see a big club paying what we would want based on his inconsistent performances this season.

10 goal contributions (5 goals, 5 assists) in 16 starts in the Premier League this season. That's a top level contribution for a forward player in this league.

He'd quite obviously improve almost every side in the league and it would be a very hard task to criticise his effort this year. There will be interest, and it's just whether clubs are willing to meet our asking price. Under contract until 2028.

Do we think Welbeck might fancy doing one last hurrah with Man United, with the view to take up an academy mentor/coaching role there when he retires?

The opportunity may have passed him by I think. Lots of smoke about ETH being really keen on bringing him back, not sure he quite fits into Amorim's style in the same way.

At the same time, I wouldn't be shocked if it happened.

A pessimist says:
JP could easily be persuaded by someone like Spurs or WH, unfortunately...
A Mitoma price has been set ...
Baleba was probably already approached by Liv/Chelsea/Arse in this window...

"we are Brighton"

Just wonder if Cunha and Kluivert - both with 11 goals and 4 assists - may be more popular choices.

 

[Freddo]

AHH I didn't realise he had 2 years left. That's a slightly different spin.

We turned down 65m because mitoma didn't want to go.

I reckon he will go for 35m plus add ons in the summer to arsenal , Chelsea or Liverpool.

I can’t see any logic in selling him for such a low amount

Cunha on paper, but it very much depends what the terms of the new contract are. Supposedly a £62.5m release clause. Expect him to go somewhere

Whilst Kluivert looks great this season, he ended up at Bournemouth for a reason. He's was pretty awful as he got passed around Europe after leaving Ajax, that'll put a lot of big clubs off spending a lot of money on him.

JP is also 2 years younger than those two and clearly offers a lot more than just goals. His step up to captaincy for the Arsenal game and his performance with the armband on will have been noticed, and he'd probably be a similar ballpark fee to what Cunha would cost - it would represent a good return for the club aside from the amount of money his on pitch contributions have made (especially in Europe).

Cunha will go to a big team, he's already got one foot out the door.

Kluivert has scored a few but a lot of those were penalties. I think he might have another season at Bmuff, particularly if they get Europe.

Then there are other forward talents from abroad like Gyokeres who would likely be higher up the shopping list.

I can see JP going this summer but the very top teams likely have other first choices. The likes of Chelsea, City, Villa and Newcastle already have plenty of good forwards. Would he drop to a United or Tottenham for the big pay rise and be part of a rebuild?

 

[Machiavelli]

Milner and Lamptey because their contracts are up.
For those whose contract length and quality indicates a sale is possible to likely: Enciso, Baleba, Bart, Joao Pedro and Mitoma -- potentially Pervis and JPVH but less likely
Evan's tied down until 2029, but we'll have to see what happens on that front.
Adingra might want out, potentially Dunk too if it's looking as though he's no longer an automatic starter. There's maybe a question mark over Webster too, but we won't be losing all three of those CBs mentioned.

Nor do I. But unfortunately once a player has done a few years with us we tend to let them dictate things (see maccer and tross)

But importantly he's 27 so no European club will pay over £40m for him I don't think.

Tottenham have a buy option on Mathys Tel, and they spent big on Solanke in the Summer - so not sure if they'd go for him.

 

[southstandandy]

Mitoma, Baleba and possibly Pedro (if he picks up in form) will go this summer I reckon as the big money deals

Adingra might fancy taking on the Mitoma role but also might move on

I can see Webster, Lamptey and one of the non-Bart keepers (don't know which but went Rushworth, could be any of the three) also being shipped out as surplus to requirements, with Milner retiring

This

 

[Weststander]

Lamptey
Milner
Baleba
Rutter
Mitoma

 

[Coldeanseagull]

I voted for the dopey dutchman and the languid brazilian, that should speed up the rate of play for next season

We've only got one (not even) good season out of him. Unless it's 80+ I suspect he stays for another season. Player himself was interviewed a few months back and said he was happy here and still learning , no rush to join a massive club. We do know players are full of shi# though.

Really ?! Does anyone have that article. I don't believe it.

Think the article was more about this window saying Baleba wouldn't go in January but he then added he was expected to go in the summer.

You’d assume one of our many wingers, and one of our 100 number 10s.

Seeing as the process is to sell the better players and hope the youngsters step up, I assume it’ll be Mitoma and JP going.

And then Lamptey’ll probably go due to his contract expiring.
