[Albion] The Official Loanee Tracker Thread

Interesting interview with left back George Cox, who spent the season featuring regularly for Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard.

Seems from the interview that we have a further year option (if I interpreted that correctly?), but he has had interest from Championship sides and would also be happy to stay at Sittard for another year.

Cox has lots of nice things to say about the club - encouraging to see that the players are well looked after.

My interpretation is that yes, Albion have a further year option (which would seem to be a pretty standard thing these days), but given that they announced his loan as being "with a view to a permanent transfer" it would seem very unlikely that he has any future as an Albion player. Obviously Covid-19 has changed many things and there might be a chance that Sittard don't wish to pursue the permanent transfer, but I would very much doubt that Cox is still an Albion player next season (and even if he is, it would only be as a means for Albion to protect their asset, via another loan-to-buy or permanent transfer).

He is out of contract at the end of this [2019-20] season and still no word (at least that I have seen) on whether he will be staying with us or not. I like him a lot, and really hope he will get an extension at Albion.

I made a Athletic Sussex team on Football Manager 2018 with only (low value) players from Sussex or with a Brighton background... Max Sanders is carrying the team now when Dean Cox have turned a bit old. Excellent young man.

A bit OT and not very interesting but since you werent asking..

Would be a real pity if that’s the case, and honestly I’d be surprised. He’s ready for a Championship loan next season and if he performs well there he’ll be worth quite a few bob to us.

His problem is that we have so many other talented young CMs, and among his age group Alzate and Molumby both appear to be ahead of him at the moment.

If he was thought of highly enough it feels like we would have extended his contract before sending him on loan. Time will tell though I guess

One of my favorite U23 players to watch over the past few years, he will be a great footballer somewhere, just would have liked it to be with us. However, it sort of has to fall into place with need for certain positions or timing. I would live to see him pop up in the championship where we could maybe see him play more regularly.

It's going to be interesting to see who stays to be part of the First team squad (guessing Walton, White, Molumby, Gyokeres?) and those who go back out on loan (Sanchez, Clarke, Ostigaard, Roberts, Richards, Cashman, Cochrane off the top of my head).

If we stay up and with Potter's reputation for playing younger players, the average age of the team will probably be the youngest in the Prem! It's already low anyway but could get lower? A very exciting future for a lot of these players I think.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Interesting re Sanders, do the club not rate him or has he turned down a new contract as can’t see a way into the first team squad anytime soon?

It'll plummet when Grandad retires.

An issue with our loaning out strategy is that by the time players are ready for the first team and come back to us, they are over 21 and have to be included in the 25 man squad. Though this does provide lots of additional potential HGPs.

This problem could end up being quite limiting on the first team opportunities unless we trim some of the fat of our squad this summer.

If relegation is avoided I think its difficult to establish more than two youth players per season as the PL is very unforgiving and every match is so important.

If Championship is the case next season and Potter doesnt get fired, its a massively different thing and possibly every single name you mentioned (except Walton who is not a Potter keeper, and Ben White who would probably be sold) could be in the squad.

Can't see Gyokeres making the first team squad, especially if we stay up, as he's 22 now and would take a place in the 25.

Be interesting to see what happens with White regarding transfer offers, especially when we also have Ostigaard (apparently having a great season at St Pauli) who's not even 21 until November. Molumby is also still only 20.

Not sure about Walton. No point in him coming back to sit on the bench, but I can't see Ryan being dropped.

In the few (snippets of) games that I saw, he had a stunning left-footed delivery, but you look at his age, and at 22 that seals his fate with us, especially as we can only offer PL football for the moment at least.

Ostigard starts for St Pauli against Erzgebirge Aue. Gyokeres on the bench.

Lets hope they both get a run out, a win will really pull them up the table as well.

Leo booked on 11 minutes but St Pauli currently 2-0 up.

Not a loan player, but previous Brighton superstar Nzuzi Toko starting for IFK Göteborg in Allsvenskan.
