Paddy McCourt could be the next of Albion’s summer signings to leave the club.
The Northern Ireland international spent time in Asia during the transfer window trying to sort out his future.
McCourt, 31, is still with the Seagulls and manager Chris Hughton says he is still “very much part of the squad”.
The former Barnsley playmaker joined Albion in August on a one-year deal but has not started a game in the Championship. He made the last of his 13 appearances as a late substitute against Reading on Boxing Day at the Amex.
Hughton told The Argus: “He hasn’t been given the involvement that he would have liked, I think even pre my time coming here. So we have been very flexible with Paddy and it’s trying to determine the best thing to do for both parties.
“But he’s a player that is still very much part of the squad. He has an ability and if that saw him leaving in the window it would have been because it was good for both parties, more so him because he’s a good lad.
“He’s never been a problem and he's a good player but he hasn’t had the minutes that he would like. We are delighted for him to still be here in the squad and fighting for a place.”
Two of Albion’s summer signings, Nzuzi Toko and Adrian Colunga, departed last month. Toko cancelled his contract by mutual consent for a move to Turkey and Colunga has gone back to Spain on loan to Granada with a view to a permanent switch.

Not seen such Bravery!
Sounds like he is going and we are just waiting to get a winger in on a 93 day loan, sometime on or after Feb 10th.

Won't be missed, I couldn't quite understand the esteem some people on here held him in. A few tricks and flicks here and there, but no end product. Not the sort of luxury player we could afford in a relegation scrap.

Known in the game as 'Paddy the Myth' which sadly sums him up for me, great potential but never quite emulated what he's done in the past.

I genuinely thought it said "The Northern Ireland international spent time in Asda during the transfer window trying to sort out his future". I really need better specs.

I remember this being reported on here during the window. Someone on here was ITK and pretty much confirmed he was off. So why didn't he leave?

I'm not sure if it has been observed before, but our signings last Summer were simply appalling...
Whoever was responsible is clearly incompetent and should be sacked.

Correct,between now and June we shall see the dross that Berk dumped on our doorstep leave the club.The LICKERS will have us believe that the summer window was a success but those in the NO realise that Berk was a BUSTED flush.

as far as I'm aware, it's been a done deal for a while...no idea why it's taken so long. Probably waiting for us to get a replacement. Maybe the thinking was that we'd get one permanently but that has now changed to a loanee. Maybe CH wants him around in case of injuries.
