[Albion] REALISTIC departures for next season?

[b.w.2.]

Lots of people saying we need to get Connolly out, and i agree a loan would suit both parties, but it doesn't seem Potter is remotely thinking that does it?

I agree

Adding to your list, I now think that Andone & Zeqiri could be vulnerable to loan-outs or a sale (for the latter only) if we get a new striker or two along with Cucurella.

I can't see Andone, Zeqiri, or for that matter Connolly going anywhere yet awhile, Welbeck is currently injured, we aren't sure how long for, and seemingly there is no new incoming striker imminent. It's all hands to the pump up front at the moment.

Reda Khadra

The Tau transfer seems to be dragging. Maybe not clear cut.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Walton - Reported Scherpen injury may mean he stays until January.

Duffy - Looks like he is staying.

Bissouma -

Caicedo - Out on loan IF Bissouma stays.

Băluţa - Loan or sale ?

Tau - Almost gone... But the transfer window in Egypt doesn't open until Aug 27th...

Locadia - Hard to shift.

Connolly - Loan move essential or sale.

Molumby - Loan or sale ?

Van Hecke - maybe loan out. Injured ( severity unknown ).

Roberts - maybe loan out.

Richards - maybe loan out.

Khadra - Loan out to Blackburn delayed by 2 weeks as albion manage his ankle injury treatment.

Østigård - GONE on loan.

Andone - may go on loan if we sign a striker.

Zeqiri - may go on loan if we sign a striker.

Interesting to read Naylor saying that Potter regards Moder as emergency pick centre back.

Which to me means Băluţa is totally out of the reckoning and on his way.

3 inches taller than White or Veltman so he has the height I guess.

But you must be right, that all but confirms the lesser spotted Băluță is probably a goner.

Height isn't everything for a centre back, but l agree that it helps!

I feel a bit sorry for Tudor Baluta, central defence is probably our strongest area of our side, and it has proved nigh on impossible for him to break into the first team squad.

Has been at the club for a couple of years or so, and at 22 maybe he should be playing more regularly somewhere else to help his career.

Actually Baluta is more of a defensive midfielder...

not that it helps him competition wise.

"Lesser spooted" is probably quite apposite for Baluta. He hardly ever gets mentioned - it's almost like he's the invisible man of Brighton. Certainly very easy for most fans to complaete forget he's our player - wherever he is!
Don't think he featured at all in any of our pre-season games, did he? I wonder what the plan for him is - as speculated on this tread, surely it'll bbe a sale for him.

He did the Olympics but you’d have expected to see him back like Mac Allister.

There was an article on the club website pre-Olympics but focusing on his international career but other than that, nothing.

What has he done to earn your sympathy?
He hasn't played much football here or on loan

Sympathy - why not? He signed for a PL team, but doesn't seem to be any nearer the PL than he was when he signed. He's trotted off to wherever we've sent him and done his best, but his future looks a little uncertain, and £100K a week a distant dream.
Maybe, just maybe, the lad's a tad disappointed?

I think l would sympathise with almost anyone, who possibly hasn't been given a fair crack of the whip to prove wehat he can do. He must have been on very excited kid when he signed for the Albion, a dream come true possibly. Does he feel that way now? no almost certainly not.

Băluță - Does this player actually exist?
Molumby - Not training with 1st team, loan/sale coming soon?
Caicedo - Will he get any meaningful game time in the 1st team? Possible loan?
Alzate - Fallen behind Mwepu & Moder amongst others, loan or sale?

Pröpper - Sold to PSV

Not so sure about that one. If Cucurella + new strikers comes in it means both of his two roles got increased competition and it would be very difficult for him to get any sort of playing time. Personally I think Zeqiri is going on loan somewhere.

Thanks for this. That's some clear out we've achieved this summer. Agree with everything apart from the fact that you underestimate Alzate. Quality player and versatile. I think he'll contribute well this season.

 

[CheeseRolls]

van Hecke is now linked with a loan move to Blackburn alongside Khadra.

That'll be interesting. Good moves by the club if they come off. I am still wondering if our 'special relationship' with Hibs will result in a last minute loan for another of our youngsters.
