Believe Richards is a mandatory buy now for QPR with them staying up
Maybe so but I was only using it as a reference. Didn’t realise it wouldThe lack of accuracy is the main issue. The information they have got wrong is the information you have shared, so a pretty low accuracy rate so far.
Their transfer valuations of players is so inaccurate and fanciful that even Fox News would blush.
Academy players perhaps?Well, this is their list of Albion's youngest ever players:-

Maybe you can go and do some research on the history of that famous Albion player, Dean Elder.
AHA in an Alan Partridge voiceJoao Pedro doesn't class as a HGP. To qualify you must have played for an FA affiliated club for at least 3 years before turning 21.
Joao Pedro turned 21 in September 2022, and only joined Watford in January 2020.

That article's not correct - as I said above you can qualify as a HGP if you complete 3 seasons of football in England (or Wales) by the end of the season in which you turn 21.Joao Pedro doesn't class as a HGP.

Dean Elder is a Scottish non-league footballer who has absolutely nothing to do with Brighton and Hove Albion. The error comes from the fact that his name has been entered incorrectly in an Albion line-up instead of Nathan Elder.Maybe so but I was only using it as a reference. Didn’t realise it would
Academy players perhaps?
Then the word 'all' was inappropriate, would you not agree? Besides, all the 22 players out on loan are senior or academy players - what others would we loan out?I guess they categorised them as senior and academy players. Just like any club would. Not so strange

The info on Transfermarkt is entered by a bunch of fans and is only as (in)accurate as you might expect from such a source. A few years ago one of those individuals started asking me a bunch of questions via DM on twitter to correct some of the garbage info on Albion academy players on the site. I'm happy to be helpful up to a point, but not for some huge website and not when he started sending me questions on Christmas Day.
You are much better off seeking out those posters on here who know their stuff (you'll figure it out ).
I really don’t think any of this has any real importance even if transfermarkt is not an accurate source. The fact is that the poll was designed to see who will make the cut next year which the results have shown so what happens to Nathan or Dean Elder is of such little importance it baffles me why you have to prove the point!Then the word 'all' was inappropriate, would you not agree? Besides, all the 22 players out on loan are senior or academy players - what others would we loan out?
6th? I think it's unlikely that we'll get more than one more point this season (against Saints) with all our injuries.Yes I hesitated before posting but we’re odds on to finish 6th so it’s all hypothetical
With all our injuries we beat Chelsea, Man Utd, Bournemouth and thumped Wolves 6-0 but lost to Forest and Everton so i'm not predicting anything. (against Arsenal, Saints, a likely on the beach Man City and Newcastle and Villa on the last day)6th? I think it's unlikely that we'll get more than one more point this season (against Saints) with all our injuries.
Thanks for sharing and yes I did see this article. As I pointed out on the comments, whilst it’s good to see all players together it doesn’t factor in players who can cover multiple positions. A full depth chart is needed to see where the full cover is and what the hierarchy will look like.The Athletic have had a stab at this today . Doubt we'll be seeing Connolly/Zeqiri/Karbownik again and there's obviously a fair bit of new incoming and perhaps 1-2 u21s being bumped up - but its interesting to see an Albion squad with Lallana, Milner, Koslowski, Lamptey, Adingra, Pedro, Sarmiento, Alzate, Moder, Sima being options - even before the transfer window. I sense the phrase "like a new signing" will be used a lot in the summer !!
My hunch is that only Adingra out of the loanees is definitely nailed on for a first team squad next year. Maybe Koslowski , Alzate and Sima - depending on strength elsewhere.
And will any of these be on loans ? - Moran ? Buonanotte ? Ayari ? Lamptey ? Sanchez ?
And who are going to be the landmark sales (Caicedo , AliMac , Anyone else ? )
incoming - Defence looks thin... and then "replacements" for any landmark sales - presumably players in the pivot / CM and are there any long term teen wonder projects on the go ?
What is the state of play with Brighton's squad ahead of vital summer?

Read this earlier. It is a standard really poorly written article from Naylor and highlights why I wish we had a stronger writer covering us. Boring, badly written and absolutely nothing new or informative.The Athletic have had a stab at this today .

I agree it is lacking but the Athletic is a bit hit and miss across the board. Very good for features but not for daily updates. Then again, sometimes there’s nothing to report so you end up with articles like this. I agree that Naylor has perhaps had his time and a younger journalist is needed.That is a standard really poorly written article from Naylor and highlights why I wish we had a stronger writer covering us.

Agreed. Tough to do that visually perhaps - but of course Gross and March and others can pop up in lots of spots on that map. Part of the strengths of RDZ playing them there and their versatility.Thanks for sharing and yes I did see this article.
