[Albion] Summer Window and Squad 24/25

[Mancgull]

Seems to have gone a bit quiet re Gomez. I wonder whether he is back up if we don’t get O’ Riley?
I also wonder if Kadioglu is now considered off the radar.
I’d definitely be looking to keep Veltman due to his ability to play RB / RWB / centre back.
If we can get a reasonable fee for Lamptey I think he’ll be on his way as I believe he’s entering the final year of his contract. I know Veltman is as well, but his worth in terms of a transfer fee is less.
I also think that if a team was prepared to pay a reasonable fee for Sarmiento we’d probably take it and include a big sell on clause.
O’Mahoney should be sent off on loan to a Championship club IMHO as should Rushworth.

 

[GT49er]

The below squad can cope with a good number of injuries but still have a good starting 11 as it contains a lot of adaptable players:

3 GK - Verbruggen, Steele, Fisher/Cahill
5 CB - Dunk, Van Hecke, Hummels*, Veltman, Webster
2 LB - Barco, Estupiñán
2 RB - Kadıoğlu*, Hinshelwood
4 CM - Wieffer, Baleba, O'Riley*, Milner, Ayari/Gomez*
2 CAM - Enciso, Sarmiento
3 RW - Minteh, March, Cozier-Duberry
2 LW - Mitoma, Adingra
3 ST - Pedro, Ferguson, Welbeck

A CM pairing of Baleba and O'Riley would be brilliant - they even have a song already!

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Has Facundo’s loan deal been confirmed?

 

[GT49er]

Has Facundo’s loan deal been confirmed?

Not that I've seen, but Undav's sale has been.

Edit: Sorry - a bit late with that last bit!

 

[chaileyjem]

Has Facundo’s loan deal been confirmed?

Not officially.

 

[BrickTamland]

Moder and Sima to go then.

Igor too subject to a replacement.

A couple more loans for the kids and we are looking good.

 

[AZ Gull]

Moder and Sima to go then.

Igor too subject to a replacement.

A couple more loans for the kids and we are looking good.

For the last several seasons we have had more than 20 contracted professionals go out on loan (and most seasons the number is over 25). Given that even with Facundo's expected move to Leicester, the number this season so far would be just 7, I think we probably have somewhere between 10 and 15 more loans to arrange.

 

[spence]

Not officially.

It has now

[southstandandy]

I'm pretty happy with what we've got. Yes, Ferdi would be a great further addition, but this whole saga with him seems to be dragging on and on and my gut feeling is this just won't happen. Happy with Hinsh, Baleba, Ayari, and Milner as midfield options so lets get cracking. Roll on Saturday.

 

[chaileyjem]

PS: Osman to Feyenoord

 

[The Fits]

Fantastic move for Osman.

At last the voice of reason!

[Gabbiano]

Can we infer from that that Sarmiento and Ayari are staying do we reckon? Or it's just partial information?
