Well it’s rare but Jayson Molumby and Max Sanders were pretty close as one made the bench in 3 Premier league games at beginning of season and one was in the 18 v Man Utd in the Cup.
You wouldn't have thought it was so difficult to work out, would you?
The Albion is now one of 'those' teams.
We no longer get a couple of loanees each season that leave us fans thinking 'imagine if we could produce a player that good, and not be able to play him'.
Wigan fans must think we sneakily built a brick wall in our goal, as that's the only thing better than Walton.
In a sense they aren't far wrong.

Not seen such Bravery!
It would be nice to get 1 more in before the World Cup.

Liam Moore (Reading) - 25 year old, Centre Back, HGP, 17/18 Reading player of the year - News over the weekend , not reported on by the Argus (Andy Naylor is on his holidays !) is that Albion have , via Sky sources, made a 2nd improved offer. Local Reading press on Sunday reported alarmingly "Royals want £15m for Moore"

Paddy McNair (Sunderland) - 23 year old NI international, ex Man Utd Midfield, Defender, HGP - Sky Sports reported late on Friday that we made an improved £3.5m offer that was rejected. Some Sunday paper reports (Express) saying Albion are prepared to go to £5m. McNair is on NI duty and in interviews on tour played a safe bat "“If I can get back to the Premier League, that would be great, but I just want to concentrate on these Northern Ireland games and look at that afterwards.”
*new* Ezri Konsa (Charlton)- 20 year old, Eng u20 international, Centre Back, HGP - He's back. Implausible rumours in Janiuary that we were close to a £8m deal.

Brighton to let Baldock join Reading as they push for Moore
READING will hold talks with Sam Baldock this week as they weigh up a fresh Brighton bid for Liam Moore.
The Seagulls have made an improved offer for centre-back Moore, 25, after seeing their first rejected.
They are now willing to let striker Baldock move to Reading as part of the deal and offer cash on top to land Moore.
And Baldock, 29, is due to meet Royals boss Paul Clement this week to discuss a potential switch to the Madejski Stadium.
He has been pushed further down the Brighton pecking order by the January arrival of Jurgen Locadia and last month’s capture of Florin Andone.
Chris Hughton has already added Nigerian defender Leon Balogun to his ranks this summer on a free transfer from Mainz.
But he wants to bolster his defensive options by snapping up Moore too.
Moore was an ever-present for Reading last season, voted their player-of-the-year and was a rare plus in a season of struggle for the Royals.

John O'Shea moving to Reading, so perhaps they are preparing for the imminent departure of Moore. It looks increasingly like our wheeling and dealing this summer might involve trading in Baldock and Goldson to bring in replacements (at least, that's certainly the way rumours are heading). Bit of a shame that (to me, anyway) - I'd have quite liked to see Baldock as our no.4 striker, and Goldson as no.3 or 4 CB (or out on loan to a Championship club) - but hey, what do I know* about what we need for next season?

I suppose its about upgrades and tinkering to refine and adapt to PL. Mcnair also fits into this HG alterations too....Id imagine another Central Midfielder and winger will come from abroad..

Hmmm I really cant see Baldock and Goldson wanting to stay on as number 4 striker, and number 3 central defender though. They both need to playing games and trying to cement themselves into the side.
More and more, in the case of Goldson, l'm beginning to think that Chris Hughton wouldn't be too upset to see him go, for reasons hitherto unknown.
What more would Dunk & Duffy have to do in order to prove their place in the team?

I am sure Hughton would love Goldson to stay, but knows he is desperate for first team football and wont hold him back.
Squads have to evolve and improve over time. Kayal is another I can see this happening too, like Goldson, Baldcock and Hemed, sad but things move on.
The fact that D&D managed a whole season without mutiple absences through injury or suspension, is a minor miracle, esp the way the team plays.

Short of being run over by a tank, Big Shane will always be donning his Albion shirt at the weekend.

I agree, would be amazed to see us have this level of luck with injuries two years running.

Window - Where we are - Tuesday... -
Liam Moore (Reading) - 25 year old, Centre Back, HGP, 17/18 Reading player of the year - Mirror oddly going with a story in their live transfer blog this morning (at er, 04.33) that Albion will have to pay up to £15m (yes, we know. Reading have said this publicly a few days ago.) and have had 2 bids rejected (not according to the Argus reporting yesterday), and are "determined to land Moore" (this is probably true i guess).
Paddy McNair (Sunderland) - 23 year old NI international, ex Man Utd Midfield, Defender, HGP -The chase goes on. Argus insist no further bids in their reporting from yesterday although have long since confirmed interest, but the Northern Echo go further this morning backing up Express reports at weekend that Albion "will table a £5m offer" and that its "imminent" . http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sp...___5m_offer_for_Sunderland_midfielder_McNair/
*new* Ezri Konsa (Charlton)- 20 year old, Eng u20 international, Centre Back, HGP - He's back. Implausible rumours in Janiuary that we were close to a £8m deal.

Hemed and Baldock. Club are "braced" for bids for their "out of favour frontmet' this summer report The Argus. But reporter Brian Owen insists that although club expect "considerable Championship interest", as yet, nothing doing. Despite the Baldock / Liam Moore swap chat over the weekend

Some curious reporting about the PSG 17 year old; Moussa Sissako. Sources firmly denied in Argus reporting at the time but apparently he's in "last ditch talks" to stay at PSG or he's heading to the club thats so Southern its almost French.
