[Albion] NOT the 25 Man Squad - Loans, transfers and rumours

[chaileyjem]

Someone thinks Rushworth to Derby is a done deal. Obviously just Twitter tattle - wonder how accurate it is?

Andy Naylor reported this morning that the deals for both are “nearly done”.

Derby and Leeds fans were arguing a couple of seasons back about which of them had the best CB. Both thought they had the best CB in the division, and both were Brighton players on loan, Matt Clarke and Ben White. I think Matt Clarke has been unlucky in that we just have not needed him, I feel he was bought with half an expectation that Dunk would be headhunted by one of the bigger clubs, but with Burn sold, maybe this is his chance?
I am guessing we will want four CB's in the squad, obviously Dunk and Webster are starting most games, and assuming Ostigard is sold, it will be interesting to see which of Duffy, Van Hecke, Clarke and Roberts go or stay, all of them have just one year remaining of contract, my guess is Clarke and Duffy remain, and the other two go on loan, and longer term, I think we may well offer new contracts to all except Duffy.

No mention of Joel Veltman in your post? . . . he is primarily a centre back too!

Any football news?

I see Mitoma is now here, which is good, hopefully we'll see some training footage tomorrow.

Anyone seen AC in any of the training pictures?

Derby still trying for Roberts on loan (Rushworth no longer available, as posted elsewhere).

(Incidentally, Lincoln fans seem quite pleased to have nicked Rushworth from the grip of Portsmouth and Derby).

Great stuff. Probably a very good move.

Great stuff. Probably a very good move.

Let's hope so. Big season for the lad.

Plenty of interest in Khadra - that's a good sign.

Vitesse Arnhem interested in Scherpen, apparantly - but only The S*n, so could be bolleaux.

Looks like the Ostigard deal is finally sorted. Seems a dood deal; good luck to the young man.

There is also an article in the Argus, but I can't read it so can't be arsed....................................

It appears that Chelsea are about to pay £34M to Napoli for a 31 year old CB in the last year of his contract (Koulibaly). Makes you wonder if the deal we did for Biss to Spurs was that good! Superb bit of business by Napoli though - replace your long serving CB with a much younger model and pocket well over £25M into the bargain.

(Sorry, it's only The S*n, but there are other sources too.)

Still no official confirmation of the Sima and Ostigard deals.

Connolly to Serie B as per the Argus...

Can't read the bloody Argus these days! Fortunately there are other sources.

Apologies if mentioned elsewhere, but if it has been, I've missed it. Ulrich Ella has already gone (permanent three year deal) to Angers. Sima joined up with him there too. https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2675887/abdallah-sima-heads-to-angers-on-loan

 

[GT49er]

Ostigard's 'Welcome to Napoli' video is out already!

Looks like we could do with him going up for set pieces! Price agreed, according to several sources.
