[Albion] Summer Window and Squad 24/25

[Machiavelli]

I think we're most likely to set up in a 3-4-1-2 or 3-3-3-1 next season, and if so I think we still need a left centre back, a right wing back and a striker, in addition to Wieffer.

Based on what? FH played a 343 last season, with very specific role for the middle CB.

Based on what I think makes the most sense for his style of play given the players we have. Hence why I said 'I think'.

 

[AZ Gull]

I keep a similar tracker. Kozlowski is an U21 still isn't he ?. Also have I missed some of these being released somewhere along the line -
Jensen Weir,
Peupinon,
O'Hora
Bray
Emmerson
Chouchane
Samuels
Barrington
Fynn Talley
Atom
Slater
Ferns

Sure mine is out of date but good to update if I can

As it happens, Fynn Talley has just signed for Hong Kong club Kitchee SC.

Squad taking shape nicely, with good options around the pitch. A few more signings needed but just playing around with an app to visualize what we have and might need. Could only fit two players per position so not even room for Welbeck, Enciso, Buonanotte, or Milner. & others returning from loans.

Looking at this i'd think our next priority is a RB/RWB, purely as an improvement in quality on what we have rather than a numbers thing. Which would then also free up Hinselwood as a centre mid option. & i'd like a pacier centre back option.

Also I guess Wieffer's position is open to interpretation, will he be that roaming centre back Hurzeler uses or a more traditional defensive mid? We'll see...

 

[sparkie]

^---- This looks decent.

We have to be wary that both Groß and Moder may leave.

So perhaps 1 right back and 1 more central midfielder still to be signed.

Also, Lamptey won’t be playing for us this season with just 1 year left on his contract. It’s leave or extend time for him.

Wieffer has described himself as a number six, so despite whatever we think about FH's St Pauli formations, I think he belongs further forward in that depth chart.

I’d really not get too hung up on this.

FH plays a fluid formation. He will of course be further forward playing the role of deep lying playmaker when we are in possession which will be for the majority of the time.

When we are not in possession, especially at set-pieces, it’s looking very likely that he’ll be positioned as a central defender as he has key central defender attributes.

Out for the weekend so back to Wieffer confirmation, Cozier Duberry (will he be know as ACD ? ) , and likely Yalcouye imminent. And of course rumours of outgoings ?

@chaileyjem - I think you are mixing up our two Vickers.

Caylan (who signed from Reading on February 1) has the contract until 2027, but he is 19.
Jacob (centre-back who moved from Luton Town to commence his scholarship last summer) is 17 and has just signed his first professional contract.

No room for Enciso and Bounonotte!!

And should Moder and Sir Pascal go, we do still look like we need more cover in the middle. Although probably WiFi playing further forward, so a central defender required??

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Out for the weekend so back to Wieffer confirmation, Cozier Duberry (will he be know as ACD ? ) , and likely Yalcouye imminent. And of course rumours of outgoings ?

You sound confident? I'd be thrilled but not sure it's anything like a done deal. Many a slip etc etc

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

I presume this will turn out to be an excellent loan destination.

Well done Ben

 

[chaileyjem]

It’s very close to a done deal according to multiple sources

 

[brighton_tom]

Don’t really know much about our youth defenders, any of them nearing being first team ready? There was some hype about that Freddie Simmonds but he’s very young.

His progress at Livi will be closely followed.

So that’s Osman, Minteh, ACD, Yalcouye done, and Sky/Turkish media strongly linking us to Turkish right back Kadioglü…but also Gross/Undav possibly exiting.

Of course we'd have loved it if Pascal had wanted another year, but as squad refreshes go, that is exciting. Wieffer as well of course
