[Albion] Your end of transfer window predictions

[The Fits]

Wanted by Real Madrid no less.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

So Caylan Vickers (from Reading ) makes it a window of

6 Players who are 18, 18, 18, 19, 19, and 19.

And none of them received a hero's welcome.

Not Albion, obviously, but it is being reported that Toney will stay at Brentford. From Thomas Frank:

Ivan will stay. It is nice to know what you are working with so in that situation. I think with any player we have a contract in general so at the end of the day we decide if they leave or not. Of course money talks and we also know that we are a ‘selling’ club as you could call it - we know that is part of the strategy. We want to have young, talented players in, develop them and make them better. Be on a journey with us, improve and hopefully do some fantastic stuff in the league and maybe one day win something. But at the end of the day, after some years if they are good enough they will progress to the next level.

What odds would you have got on that?

 

[Balls of Steele]

I get the strategy of young talented players and we are where we are largely due to it but we need to have some flex in the strategy to allow for “oven ready” player or two as someone else said who can boost our playing squad.
For me, we may pick up and end up in top 7 with that boost .

 

[Hugo Rune]

Time to change the vote.

Whilst we’ll be getting a bunch of youngsters in, I can’t see us adding to the 1st team squad this evening with the Gil deal looking dead.

Edit - KDH is pretty much over too according to the original source. I think we’re done.

 

[jackalbion]

I’d like to change my vote to NONE

 

[jackalbion]

In all honesty though I have to be honest I think Bryan Gil looks a bit crap to be honest.

 

[Mancgull]

Glad you are being honest

 

[Justice]

I have, and I don’t think Spurs have got the best out of him.

If you watch the highlights footage most of it is during Covid hard to judge.

Kids or pensioners these days, never did get the Milner signing

 

[Hugo Rune]

The only valid prediction now is when Naylor is going to call the window.

I’m guessing around 19:30 with this sort of thing - “I understand there won’t be anymore 1st team ins or outs, Brighton tried hard to secure a deal or two but I’ve always told you that Bloom does not like doing business in January.”

Bloom, is clearly not alone this window. Nobody likes doing business in January - signings have been thin everywhere. Sky might has well pack up now.

RDZ was given Igor, Dahoud, Adingra, Pedro, Ansu Fati, Verbruggen in the summer.
Not pensioners , and all experienced at playing European top flight football for several years.
He's been backed.

Yeah. Its dried up this year.

 

[Weststander]

RDZ wanted four first team players in the window

What would you think if RDZ walked?

I don't know why that winds anyone up . - i mean fair enough - but its true right. ? We support a club who can compete for some of the best youngsters out there. Is that something you're annoyed about ?

 

[ManOfSussex]

I remember the good old days.......

RDZ was given Igor, Dahoud, Adingra, Pedro, Ansu Fati, Verbruggen in the summer.

He's been backed.

Fati on loan, Adringa returning from loan, Dahoud free transfer, Igor a back up option to Colwill (who RDZ always made clear he wanted) and he’d never heard of Pedro before he signed as per his media quotes.

So it’s hard to say De Zerbi has been backed as who have we actually gone and signed permanently who De Zerbi has asked for?
