[Albion] Sarmiento

[Flounce]

No, but you have 25, effectively the issue remains injuries or not.

Does he make the bench when Enciso returns, and given there’s Rutter, Gruda, Adingra etc….

Again I ask you, who are the 25? You are suggesting Sarmiento, Barco, Gilmour and Moder shouldn’t be in the 25, so who should be?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

There’s the rub and shipping players out leaves us exposed to players out through injury and we seem to specialise in long term injuries

Well, last season wasn’t great…,., in fact it was terrible.
Season before was fairly normal though wasn’t it?

Erm I actually asked you first!

Edit - certainly never suggested Barco shouldn’t be, and Gilmour is a squad player who could leave for the right price.

Accept it, neither of us has a clue who the 25 will be

FH is hard to read so far imo

I agree, but the question is specifically does Sarmiento?

Welbeck
Ferguson
Pedro
Gruda
Enciso
Minteh
Rutter
Mitoma
Adingra
March
Sarmiento
Baleba
Hinshelwood
Milner
Gilmour
Wieffer
Ayari
Moder

Presumably some of those midfield/forwards are exempt due to age?
Doesn’t leave a lot of room for defenders plus two signings…..

Genuinely don’t know….

Only 18 in that list!

Do under 21 hgps need to be included?

Moder IN

I would keep him over Ayari and Sarmiento

I really like Ayari, great balance and vision
Re U21s, yes, but aren’t some of those in the list U21s…..
Hinsh?

Next 7 days will be interesting….

Five (I think) of those 18 are U21s.

It's one thing having to name 25 players for the official squad - but U21s don't count in that, so we could still be running a squad of, say, 35 players, all wanting game time.
It's the total number of players available and wanting game time that matters - the named 25 is almost a side-show.

Might be as many as 7….. source PL, don’t know when it was last updated though…

yes, hence my point about the U21s and not including all of them…..

Could be - I just had a quick look, didn't Google them.

So let’s keep Moder

I too like Ayari but Moder has more about him as a PL player at the moment imo

Ferguson
Ayari
Hinsh
Baleba
Gruda
Enciso
Minteh

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

So let’s keep Moder

But what about Sarmiento

 

[Flounce]

But what about Sarmiento

One of the guys I go with has him as the dark horse this season

 

[lawros left foot]

Going to Burnley.

Don’t know if it’s a sale or a loan.

 

[JBizzle]

I like Sarmiento and I'd like to keep him, but his position in the advanced 3 behind Welbeck/Ferguson is the one we have strengthened most this window.

Discussing keeping Ayari/Moder or Sarmiento is irrelevant because they aren't completing for a spot in that front 3.

If Sarmiento is behind Pedro, Enciso, Gruda, Minteh, Mitoma, March, Georginio and Adingra, whether we keep Ayari or not has little to no impact.

 

[Shaktarman]

Surprised Ipswich haven’t been in for him seemingly. Perhaps that speaks volumes though.

 

[blockhseagull]

Going to Burnley.

Don’t know if it’s a sale or a loan.

I think it’s a sale, pretty sure he was against a loan and only wanted a perm move or stay and fight for his place here.

I think Enciso effectively took his role in the squad when he returned from the Olympics and got fit.

Then there is the Gruda.
