[Albion] Which Player Are You Most Excited About Next Season?

[BevBHA]

Bit of a different one for me. I didn’t realise until recently that Lewis Dunk is 31. He’s probably got 2, maybe 3 seasons left in his prime. I feel lucky to watch him every time I see him play

 

[BBassic]

Looking forward to Pascal Gross once again making me eat my 2021/2022 words of "he's past it".

I didn't think it was possible to love a German this much.

Bit of a different one for me. I didn’t realise until recently that Lewis Dunk is 31. He’s probably got 2, maybe 3 seasons left in his prime. I feel lucky to watch him every time I see him play

Dunk, Veltman, Webster are all very close in age. Another factor for why Colwill has been so high up our list of targets is his ability at such a young age that should put us in a brilliant position for many years. Dunk is always solid and at some stage we will need a plan for AD...I'm glad it is not me responsible for finding his successor

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Excited to see how many Ferguson can score, followed by a list of 1/2 dozen players who could be immense talents. Top of said list is Enciso, who, if he plays an entire season how he finished the last, could become our greatest player ever.

 

[MattBackHome]

Excellent thread. My gut reaction to this question was Dahoud; I genuinely reckon we've struck gold with him in every single way.

Of the returning players it has to be Enciso, based purely on his rate of improvement last year, as well as Lallana's words about him in the Graham Hunter interview.

All in all even without Europe this is the most excited I think I've ever been preseason.

 

[Doingitforthekids]

There’s not a soul out there,
No one to hear my prayers,
Gimme, Gimme,Gimme Mahmoud in the midfield

Mahmoud Dahoud, here we go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mahmoud Dahoud, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you!

 

[Machiavelli]

Close call between Fergie and Julio……think both are going to be immense.

I know we're being asked to choose but, for me, the most exciting thing about next season will be Evan and Julio playing together.

 

[Questions]

Groß proving all the "we've outgrown him" doubters wrong. Again.

Including me

 

[brighton_tom]

Very intrigued to see Alzate in an RDZ team..

 

[Hugo Rune]

I think Dahoud and Alzate are going to push Gilmour and Groß very hard indeed for those two CM positions. Pedro looks really exciting on the showreels and the fact that the club have in effect stated they are keeping Lamptey means that he is probably taking a lot of strides with RDZ and is fit. It’s his forward passing that needs work I think plus his decision making but I suspect he has been made to study hours and hours of Esupiñan action whilst injured and will hopefully have learnt a fair amount.

1. Dahoud
2. Joao Pedro
3. Alzate
4. Lamptey

Honourable mention for Moder, I’d just like to see him fit and getting some minutes, performance can come later.

 

[Doonhamer7]

I’ve been so focused on the Colwill / Igor defensive signing I forget how many exciting young attacking players we have, this season is going to be exciting

 

[The Fits]

Has to be said, seeing Igor's thighs busting out of his shorts is exciting.

 

[The Wookiee]

Not sure anyone has mentioned Verbruggen yet but I’m looking forward to seeing how he does

 

[Motogull]

Differing criteria so:

Regular: Pascal
Newcomer: Dahoud
Emerger: Enciso
Returner: Alzate
Fit again: Solly

 

[Drpepper]

Big Ev. We are so much of a threat with him playing

 

[RustyKent]

A fit Moder

 

[Whitechapel]

I think we’ve the European games to juggle we’ll see a couple of youth players given a chance to shine. I love the thought of one of them grabbing that chance and bursting on to the scene; especially Hinshelwood and his Brighton connections.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I was writing a long reply mentioning about 15 players who could be the star of this season, but managed to delete it

So Jeremy, this will be his year to come of age

 

[oldboyroy]

Fergie and Enciso for me but also think Undav will keep improving and score a fair few too

 

[Silverhatch]

If we get dumped out of cups early, this could well be an issue

After DeZ’s meltdown following Charlton, any Brighton cup side is well aware that dumping is to be avoided strenuously!
