[Albion] 2025 January Transfer Window OPEN - incoming/outgoing

[Reddleman]

I will be amazed if we sell Ferguson but not at all surprised if we sell Enciso. With Buonanotte who has scored more in last two seasons than Enciso has managed in his career and Osnan to come in as well we don’t need him.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Julio is half a dozen good games and a worldie goal away from being worth top end money again.
Imho, now is not the time to cash in. I’d add Evan to that too.

Yeh, put him in the team for 3 games in a row he'd look like a world beater again. Do that rather than sell for f all

When has he looked a world beater? Maybe the Wolves game? Undoubted potential but those two worldies two seasons ago are doing a hell of a lot of heavy lifting.

Yeah that’s what I thought! He’s never played 3 really good games in a row in his time here so to say he would be a world beater after 3 starts is pushing it a bit I think!

I mean he’s just played two in a row and was pretty shit throughout them and in fact seemed to get worse as they went on!

 

[Hiheidi]

Maybe it's our new mantra to cut ties quicker and get our initial investment back if there are any doubts.

It’s a strange one fans I know of other clubs can’t believe he doesn’t play every game.
This is Hurzeler all over you can play well and then get dropped for the next game re Lamptey.

 

[chickens]

Well yes, but Enciso is in a different universe to Taylor Richards. He's not done well under the new manager, but is obviously going to be a top level player for the rest of his career

I don’t know what you see when you watch Enciso, but it isn’t what I see. I agree there’s definitely some potential there, and I hope he can become a top player, but I’m not seeing that as obvious by any stretch.

He needs to be harder to knock off the ball, a lot better at decision-making, and keep his head cool when he gets in or near the penalty area. 10/10 for natural enthusiasm and effort, but only 4/10 for effectiveness and teamwork.

Sometimes players have an epiphany and it just clicks for them. That doesn’t seem to have happened for Enciso, and he’s had quite a few opportunities. I have to say he’s a player that I wish the best to, I hope he does become a top player, I just don’t know how many more opportunities we can afford to give him. If he’d just learn when to pass the ball, he’d be twice the player he is now.

Changing his name to Abdullah? Well, I guess he can if he wants to...........................

 

[Hugo Rune]

think there is almost no chance of any other first team incomings. we’ve been here so many times before, where it’s evident we really could do with reinforcements in a particular position and the club have decided they will press on until the summer. if it’s not been preplanned or there is the chance of a bargain (veltman, minteh) they just won’t do it. a january window where most players are overpriced and where the club haven’t foreseen the injury difficulties offers neither of those things

Disagree with this.

This is not just any ‘January window’. It’s the window after we spunked around £205m including making our record signing.

Why did we do that? Because of the transfer market landscape shaped by PSR, no one was really buying in the summer other than promoted clubs and those that cheat the system such as Chelsea.

This ‘landscape’ is still the same in this window! It’s a very different January window to what we’ve seen before. Our squad is bloated with ‘potential talent’ but some areas need urgent addressing.

Our longer term right back situation is unclear with an ageing Veltman and an inform Lamptey possibly leaving in 5 months. We have but two centre backs fit, one of which is a sick note and will surely pull up soon. We currently have no obvious player to take over from Dunk when he hangs up his boots. It would be no surprise if a centre back joins in the next 3 weeks.

And then there is the striker position. Welbeck was having his best season ever but is now injured. Ferguson is meant to be his successor but has been injured or has looked hopelessly out of form. Pedro and Georginio are not natural No.9s and will probably both be injured after the Cup match today (Pedro already is!). We need a new centre forward to take the reliance off Welbz, Ferguson needs to go on loan and find his form elsewhere as we can’t afford to wait for him to click. Again, no surprise if a striker walks in this window, a good one!

Let me go further. I predict we’ll spend more this window than we will in the summer when PSR re-sets and a lot of our rivals are back in the game ready to bid our targets up and out of our range!

 

[The Fits]

So we are going to sign loads of players we don’t need. In positions we’re overstocked in or positions Fab doesn’t use.
When actually we could spend big on Tomori and it would sort most of our problems out.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Rumour is that BHA are interested in Harvey Elliot for £35m, LFC prepared to let him go.

We knew and have commented at length.
The room is divided.
Do you happen to know if he is a massive knob with a Terry-style chav family, as alleged, or not?

Come now.
You already know the answer to that.

(It would be neither.)

More old news probably: This is the problem when a squad starts getting deeper, players get left behind and then become unhappy for not getting the match time they want …Moder out of contract in June looking for another PL club.

Brighton and Hove Albion are set to allow Jakub Moder to leave the club in the January window, with Everton and Leicester City interested in landing him. CaughtOffside sources understand that Brighton are willing to cash in on Jakub Moder because of his injury problems, whilst the player himself...

No idea about his family, well liked in the squad good team player. Well respected.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Yeah, excellent fit except we really don’t need another attacking midfielder/come inverted right winger having spent £200m in the summer including on players in that position.

Minteh will be supremely good by the end of the season, Buonanotte will be back in the team hopefully, Georginio is showing great potential as a 10, we still have Pedro when fit, and O’Riley who could still impress. Hinshelwood can also play as right FB, March is fit and we also have Osman and AC-Durberry out on loan.

If we were thinking of spending anything like £40m this window, it will either be a deep defender (or less likely but possible another no 9) as attractive as Elliot is.

Better than anything we currently have at Brighton with top tier potential for the next ten years. Hopefully wherever he goes the Reds have a buyback clause.

Rumour is that BHA are interested in Harvey Elliot for £35m, LFC prepared to let him go.

We’ve known for a while and this was a topic of discussion with our group to and from Norwich on Saturday. It’s not a position we’re exactly lacking in depth in. On the other hand he may be better than any of our current options. So, for me, it does come down to price, wages and whether he does come with some baggage that would fail a basic NDP.

 

[Silverhatch]

Better than anything we currently have at Brighton with top tier potential for the next ten years. Hopefully wherever he goes the Reds have a buyback clause.

A huge claim given the performances/potential of Ayari, Goodnight and Hinsh.
