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

[Southern Scouse]

U

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

I make the claim based on the fact that he has slotted into Liverpool’s first team without missing a step. He is already doing it with one of the best teams in the world (atm) and still has massive potential.
Our lads are good but are not at that level yet.
Anyway, now seems Dortmund are interested or Bournemouth with a swap deal Semenyo.

Some Italian media reporting that Juve have submitted a higher bid for Costa

Alberto Costa, ecco il terzino per la Juve: ai dettagli l'operazione da 12-13 milioni

Il portoghese, laterale destro classe 2003, arriva dal Vitoria Guimaraes

although player may demand a higher wage than Juve is prepared to pay ( allegedly Sporting still in the picture).

Costa has already turned us down.

One down (technically from the u21s) - Imari Samuels permanent move to Dundee.

Good luck to him. Hasn't gone the way he would have liked here since moving from Reading - limited appearances for the U21/U23s, and hardly got a look-in on loan at Fleetwood last season. Hope he gets more action than our current loanees in Scotland this season have been getting!

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just feck off Fred

 

[saafend_seagull]

£35m would be a mental return on a player who hasn’t done much (but a lot of potential with the right coach)

 

[Hiheidi]

Maybe that's why we're after Harvey Elliott - because Enciso is off?

Good shout

Good shout

possibly, be very Brighton to let Enciso go and then Elliott turns us down last minute.

I would rather have Enciso to be honest, he is going to be a real star.

I would rather have Enciso.. I don't rate H Elliot at all.. 35 million is stupid crazy! He's a fringe player at best .. I wouldn't pay more than 5 million

 

[elwheelio]

Don't know much about Elliott but if we can get £35m+ for Enciso, it would be a great bit of business.

 

[The Fits]

Enciso in Elliott out for around the same amount would be incredible business. Also a great move for Julio. I’d probably rather keep him but sure he’d at least want to talk to them if they are interested.

 

[southstandandy]

I agree but I will be surprised if TB forks out £35-40m in a January transfer when we don’t currently need that position covered to get us through the rest of the season

Especially as we got £35m for MacAllister. Is Elliot really worth the same amount? And as you say for a position we don't desperately need. Prefer to spend that sum on a CB.

We paid more for Rutter.
Clearly Mac was always worth more.
Not sure why people are doubting Elliot. He’d be a step up in quality.

He is so young and has some exceptional qualities. If he develops some other aspects of his game as he matures, he could be very, very good indeed. £60m+ good.

TB is a gambler though and Enciso should not be in the 1st 11 with a fit squad. I wonder if this could be too good not to agree to. A fat old sell-on could make it a deal worth doing and then Atalanta do the heavy lifting of getting him to his potential?

That said, I be gutted as would my son who idolises him.

No doubt he's a good player but surely there are more pressing priorities to strengthen?

In style, if Elliot is more similar to a Mac Allister or Groß with Enciso similar to a player like Grealish, I’m afraid I’d want Elliot as a midfield playmaker (who can tackle and track back properly) because that position is more important to the current squad than a dribbling, shooting wonderkid.

 

[The Fits]

Totally agree. It makes no sense even if Enciso left. Especially with Facu back in the summer. But our transfers often don’t entirely make sense.

 

[Zeberdi]

Mackie was sold for peanuts as far as I’m concerned - he was worth far more than than £35m ( even with add ons) - a WC winner just 24 years old with his whole career ahead of him? - unfortunately with McAllister out of contract that summer, in the previous October ( following lots of exposure at the WC) we agreed a release clause as a condition of Mackie agreeing to renew his contract to 2025, which Liverpool were able to trigger. ( I am not sure why we didn’t renew his contract before the WC - or maybe we tried to?)

It is really hard to compare the transfer values of players with other players but for me, were it not for the contract winding down and the release clause, we should have got £60m for our MF star.

Edit - forgot WC was in the November not October, so we did agree the extension before the WC.
