[Albion] The Great Albion Midfield Rebuild - Summer ‘24 edition

[BrickTamland]

Alex Crook and PBOBE on TS this morning - hopefully a few bits of information will be dropped - news on WBG for example perhaps?

Not really the way PBOBE operates

 

[chaileyjem]

Seen a few people mention Gomez will link up with us straight after Olympics rather than in Jan. Would make sense if WBG/Gross end up leaving

The reporting suggests he's coming in the January transfer window

Apparently he might arrive sooner:

Yes, we know!

 

[Hugo Rune]

I guess if you're listing Lallana as an out then need to list Enciso and Buonanotte as staying, as they can play very similar roles. I am hopeful for big things from Enciso this season for one.

Done.

 

[North Carolina Supporter]

Rather than wait and see bigger clubs (over)pay for our starting XI. Leaving us short on talent in key areas on the pitch… we now stock the cupboard… and I wonder “how many players will fit on the bus?” the strategy seems to have shifted, eh? Or, as Mel Brooks said, “It’s good to be the king!”

 

[Mellotron]

It really does feel like there’s a renewed focus on stepping up a level.

Agreed - who knows how well it will pan out, but definitely feels like the intent is there.

Who are we part exchanging Moder for? Surely that was part of the KDH rumour which is long since dead?

Encisco going nowhere. I can see Sarmiento on the move again, probably loan/to buy

Indeed. It’s only there because that rumour has not yet been superseded. Logically, if we were prepared to move him on a month ago or so, it’s still on the cards.

I think so. If we've let him and the whole footballing world know that we were ready to upgrade him, then it's reasonable to assume he's off

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Apparently he might arrive sooner:

I would be slightly more impressed if he was coming from Inter Milan than Inter Miami.

What about a player we signed from Ingolstadt? Indeoendiente del Valle? Libertad? Watford? Kawasaki Frontale?

I'm a level headed kind of guy as you know, but have us nailed on Top 4 at this rate. Best ever season coming up, by a country mile, you just wait.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

So if Gilmour joins Groß in leaving can we assume someone else is coming in? I'm not including Gomez as it seems he's a January incoming.

 

[Zeus]

we haven’t signed one proven premier league player and are about to lose our most effective PL player ever and were nailed on for top four? I hope you’re right but regardless can I have a toke of whatever it is you’re smoking?

 

[sparkie]

Pascal gone.

What is the plan ? Sign Gomez and not loan out Yalcoute until January ? Keep Moder until January ?

 

[dwayne]

What is the plan ? Sign Gomez and not loan out Yalcoute until January ? Keep Moder until January ?

If that's the best we've got then 14th / 15th place is probably our aim this season !!

I'm hoping Gruda will become the Gross replacement to play in the more advanced midfield role. Wiffer & Baleba probably the first choice for the other two roles.
