[Albion] Squad for 23/24 - Summer 2023 Window

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Isn't Baleba an under 21?

Isn't Baleba an under 21?

Yes.

 

[macbeth]

sincerely doubt we bring anyone else in. if something was happening we’d have heard about it by now

Yep. I think incomings are probably done. Outgoings - Zeqiri and Alzate probables - sales or loans in last 48 hours.

Looks like Samuels and Hinshelwood will be in/around the squad as this season's u21 benchwarmers at least until January.

And maybe a surprise late in the day / teen wonder / then loaned out.

Enciso injury is the curveball they might want to react to - but i think Buonanotte staying covers that.

But the proverbial lady is at last warming up her voice for a quiet day at Lancing on Friday (apart from the other thing of course).

 

[brighton_tom]

Ansu Fati in on loan, a couple out, and then we’re done? Was hoping for another defensive option.

.....any news/rumours/wild rumours/ridiculous speculation about Furlong? Loan or what?

Looks like Alzate has missed out on a move on the last day of the transfer window - AGAIN. You have to feel for the lad - could have had a season in The Championship last season, and it seems it was PL clubs after him this time round, and again he misses out on another opportunity.
No news about a new home (temporary or permanent) for Andi Zeqiri either. Shame - I'd like to seen how both of them would have done on a season long loan in the EFL (or even lower PL).

Windows still open in some countries. Possibly very importantly for Alzate and Zeqiri both Belgium and Switzerland still have open windows for a few more days.

 

[chaileyjem]

As expecting / Tidying this up

- Furlong signed for Hull on Deadline Day.
- Alzate - expecting to leave via clubs with windows still open.
- Zeqiri is about to sign for Genk

 

[chaileyjem]

So - FINAL UPDATE - the summer 23/24 window is SHUT.

Leaving 8 first team signings (Mazilu was loaned back and Fati, of course being a loan), 14 loans, 10 sales. A busy window as ever.
See you back in January !!

Where is Alzate? Not sold, not loaned, not in the squad.

Where is Alzate? Not sold, not loaned, not in the squad.

He's (apparently) going to be sold / loaned *somewhere* in windows not yet shut - but yes - there must still be a small chance he might stay in the squad.

Is this the football equivalent of Schrödinger's cat?

Is Alzate currently in a super-position of Sold / Loaned / In the Squad until we observe him?

Alzate will know as the same thing happened to him last year. He was due to be loaned out on Deadline Day - that fell through - and then 10 days later he signed with Standard Liege. I guess there's a small chance nothing happens - in which case at some point in next week or so he'll presumably be back in the first team squad.

To be absolutely correct, CJ, Mazilu wasn't loaned back because we can't actually sign him until he is 18, and his birthday is September 13th. We have announced an intention to buy him in January, but he (at the moment) is still completely and utterly a Farul Constanta player.
