[Albion] Taylor Richards joins Doncaster on loan

[macbeth]

Good move for him to go to league one, hopefully we won't have #freetaylorrichards trending in a year's time

POTS prediction......will tear L1 a new one I reckon.

You wonder if he regrets leaving City, as difficult as it is to force your way through there, steps down to BHA with the hope of breaking into the first team, next stop Doncaster. Familiar territory for a lot of young prospects, let’s hope he can get his head down and push onwards and upwards.

Why loan him out? We clearly don't rate him or even know who he is. He's Donny through and through, we should just let him go to them.

Think we will see a flurry of outgoings in coming days as squad gets streamlined.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Nice of us to let him take the cuffs off for the photo!

One to look out for next season

Probably an element of sending lots out on loan not necessarily because we wanted to but to help our fellow clubs. I was lead to believe we didn’t want to loan to lower than championship level

I hope this time we insisted on a buy after loan clause.

The mess the club got into by not having one with The Leeds United, Pride of Yorkshire, is still being felt to this day.

He's a decent player and a bit of rough and tumble in league one will do him some good. Be interesting to see how he does.

If he simply sticks in a transfer request, he'll be a Donny player faster than you can say "Free Ben White"

Yes and he clearly should. I for one am sick of the club's profiteering which is based around ruining young players careers. He's unwanted at Brighton and although he hasn't actually got there yet he was made in Doncaster.

Perhaps but there is a clear pathway to the first team here. He's only 19 after all.

I'm sure a lot of City youth players look at the first team and think there is no route in there without being a once in a generation talent. I'm sure he'll look at our current set up and feel that he has a much higher chance of playing in the Premier League over the next few years than ever making an appearance at City.

I'm not sure there's a good reason for not sending young players to other, lower leagues. Plenty of good experience to be had in L1 and L2. Also, I'm not convinced Richards is ready for Championship yet so L1 is a good opportunity for him.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Hopefully will do him good, I suspect his level may not be much more than the championship. Not as good as some of the others when I’ve seen him.

"Darren Moore made him the player he is"

"He's Donny through and through"

"Brighton didn't even know who he was before he came here"

"He should just hand in a transfer request so he can join a massive club"

Can't wait to see what he does in L1.

May the Albion&Donny love in echo in eternity.

Foden only going to start getting regular football now and he's superb.

 

[Springal]

Interesting one - he seemed to be a bit disappointed / frustrated on social media after the break but I can't see how he gets near the team at the moment. League One loan will be interesting to see how he gets on

I did wonder when he came if he thought he was going to get into our team fairly quickly - and didn't anticipate going ot on loan to Donny! Let's hope he's level headed enough to realise that the Development Team know what they're doing and that this is likely to be the right move for him at this time.
Hope he has a great season and enjoys himself. Serious question - does anybody know if there's a right to buy (or an obligation to buy) clause, or do Donny know that he is only there for the season and will come back to us at the end of it?

These sort of details haven't been announced. However it strikes me as unlikely. We paid £2m (I think) for him and Donny don't have that sort of money. Far more likely we are doing what we usually do, which is to send him out to gain experience with a view to making a decision for next season as to whether to integrate him into the squad, giving him a higher level loan or selling when he may have shown enough for us to make a modest profit
