Huh? :shrug:

No, just the not-so-good ones.

Sadly it's looking more and more like the club don't expect Evan to come good again. Tzimas - and now this lad. :(

........ and 25 years old. Has our policy of signing them young and developing them been cast aside? Ferdi, Wieffer and O'Riley weren't youngsters either.

No it hasn't. It hasn't been 'a fantastic honour system' for years. Far too many Sirs and all the other odds and sods of the British Empire - thousands of them - have devalued the whole system. It's been broken for generations. Exactly. Thousands of 'em! Beckham seems to be a good bloke, and...

Generally agree, except for the last sentence - I think the other loans did meet the criteria, but unfortunately some of our loanees didn't shine as we'd hoped.

Yes, we've made a profit. We can afford to do a lot of things, but PB will still not want to waste a penny. That's why we made £200M. No change of policy at all. Dahoud, Jahanbakhsh, Tau, Andone, Locadia, Barco ............ O'Riley wouldn't be any different.

That in itself set alarm bells ringing! Let's face it, it was a bad move. Albion got it wrong for once (shock horror!)

Yep, two pages back on here.............................................

Donald Trump has been involved in some sordid sex scandal? Surely that's just just something the orange bastard will boast about, and all his thick lemming supporters will go, "Hey hey, good on yer, Donald - you just put it wherever you want"?

So did many people - before his two loan years in the Championship. :(

Selling for £18.5M now might be the best chance of breaking even - I can't imagine he's on less than £40K a week (£2M a year), probably more, so saving on four years wages would be worth £8M quid. Add that to the £18.5M paid, and that almost counts as an accounting profit!

Yes, that's true. I don't think there were many when we signed him either! Maybe four seasons of loan fees might be our best - or least worse - option.

If - as many on NSC seem to think - he's behind so many other players in the pecking order now, a season in the lower echelons of Italy - or anywhere else for that matter - isn't likely to change things. Re-coup what we paid would seem the most likely choice. TBH, it always felt like we'd bought...

Scherpen looking for an out - no surprise, really. https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/football/brighton-and-hove-albion/brighton-star-admits-he-wants-a-nice-transfer-this-summer-after-international-call-up-5163668

Followers of our loanees' exploits will remember Marc Leonard having two superb seasons with Northampton - and then, in spite of several Championship teams being interested, he sadly signed for Birmingham - and has spent most of the 24-25 season warming the bench. Fortunately, it looks like he's...

It depends entirely on the player. Hinsh has graduated from PL2 to our first team without going on loan (as did Dunk apart from a short spell at Bognor and 2 games for Bristol City, and Solly March). On the other hand, working up through the divisions from League 2 was the perfect pathway for...

I think so.
