[Albion] The 2023-24 (Last Season!) Loanee Tracker Thread

[Gabbiano]

I assume it was because he enjoyed it and didn't fancy anywhere else? In fact I'm pretty sure he gave an interview saying that he didn't want to go on loan to a championship side.

Indeed he did and now he's stagnating at the bottom of the Eredivisie. Maybe he should have chosen differently, particularly if he planned on eventually stepping up to the PL.

One thing about Steele's new contract and the signing of Verbruggen is, does that leave room for the progression of both Rushworth and Beadle? Both exceptional young keepers.

Rushworth in particular should be pushing for PL squad next season. Beadle maybe a year or two further away.

Similarly Moran looks very promising, but another attacking midfielder, probably our most stacked position.

Not only Rushworth and Beadle, either. Scherpen and McGill as well to accommodate. Lots of tough decisions to be made at some point.

I'm sorry but whoever is in charge of the loanees needs to watch Vitesse this year and bring him back. Great that he had a nice time, but he's with us to develop.

Plenty of other Dutch clubs who play milese better football.

Not sure I get what's wrong with playing for a team at the bottom of the league? If we recall a player because the team is bottom do we then send him back there if they move up the table?!

Well, we keep getting told by certain NSC posters that Steele CLEARLY isn't up to it, so presumably he'll be off at the end of the season, which will free up one space

Yes, getting a bit crowded there! I get the impression though that McGill is happy to earn his living as our number 3 GK.

Mind you, this time last year I thought Jason Steele was happy being our number 2 and I had no idea Robert Sanchez was going to fall out with the new manager, with the result that we lumped out the best part of £20M for another GK in Verbruggen! OK, we got a decent price for Sanchez, but I'm sure that wasn't the plan back then.
I thought back then that we would sell Sanchez (for bigger money) eventually, but not until Rushworth or Beadle were ready to step into his place. Funny old game ...............................

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with a loan to a struggling club - but he is there to develop, and if they're not playing the sort of football to help that process, or aren't pushing him at all, then it's not such a good idea.
And if, as it seems to have been suggested, he went back to Vitesse because that was in his comfort zone, that would be even more reason for looking to find him a challenge elsewhere (whether he likes it or not!)

I don't think Lallana is going to last another season, and if we're honest Mitoma is likely to move on for a tonne of cash... there will be room IMO.

It may all depend what happens with RDZ. If he leaves at the end of the season, Steele may well find himself back as #2 (or maybe even following RDZ to wherever he goes).

Rushworth and Beadle are both under long term contracts.

First post, just to announce Abdallah Sima has won the SPFL Player of the Month Award for October.

He's settled in well and is such a vital player in this ever improving Rangers team under new manager Philippe Clement.

Welcome - and wow! I'd seen he was doing OK, scoring a few goals and all that sort of stuff, but wasn't expecting a POTM award, not just yet anyway.
Well done him!

And with Welbeck injured, Enciso not yet back and players like Fati and Pedro more likely to be pushed out wide to cover for the loss of Solly ........

Back on Kacper Kozlowski, although playing for the bottom club, didn’t Caicedo play for Beerschott for a few months when they were rooted to the bottom of their league? I think it can do young players a bit of good to have to scrap for points.
However, for a player with so much potential at a young age I’m a bit disappointed that he hasn’t shown more quality after a couple of years here.
Pre season 2024/25 will be crunch time I think.

Yes, it would have been good to see him move up a step after a season at the bottom of the league with a poor team.

Vitesse were mid table last season in the Eredivisie, only 6 points off the European play off places and well clear of the relegation battle. They've gone backwards massively this season and while its sometimes good for a player to learn from that sort of adversity Kozlowski is someone there was a lot of hype over and you'd want him playing with a better quality side at this stage of his progress.

Point taken.

Wondering if Gordon Greer and co. are considering moving him in January (if they can)?

Andrew Moran (on from the start) hits the woodwork against PNE.
