[Albion] The decimation of a top six championship first team

Brighton TID · May 23, 2014

Out:

Pig
Upson
Ward
Andrews
Orlandi
Lindgard

Next:
Ulloa (?)

Am I right to be so damned concerned or should I, as Sir Micky of Adams oftentimes used to say, 'Keep the faith'?

Keep the faith. That's a huge amount of wages budget freed up. The new man - whoever he is - will be able to work with David Burke to bring in a team that truly represents him. The issue with the contract lengths and Gus Poyet's legal status was that Oscar never truly had "his " players.

As long as we haven't lost Lingard I'm happy..................

Lindgard? Is he the same as Lingard?

The Wizard · May 23, 2014

3 of those players weren't ours
Orlandi was hardly part of the team, did nothing of note over the season
Upson - Big loss, however he's not getting any younger
Koosh, well his mind didn't look with it towards the end of the season so probably for the best he went however was great for a lot of his time with us.

I'm actually excited about next season, we needed a clear out in all honesty. Just my opinion anyway.

carteater · May 23, 2014

I remember right after Oscar left lots of people were saying we should clear out all the "dead wood" now its happening (maybe not upson) you're all panicking, WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE WANT FROM THE CLUB

Well, the likes of Ward, Andrews, and Lindgard weren't ours to keep anyway, but we will have to start adding some new signings to replace the missing players fairly soon.

A new manager in the same time frame would be nice too!

GolfingGull · May 23, 2014

The "rebuilding" of a top six championship team would be a much more appropriate and realistic phrase than the attention grabbing unrealistic phrase "decimation"

Don't forget the manager

At the moment? It's been like this since we lost to Palace in "that" game.

Yes my opinion too. However, lets wait and see who these sold/released players are going to be replaced by. I'll wait till nearer the start of the new season before l decide how excited l am.

Decimation means the culling of one in ten. As we've got rid of about a tenth of our players, it's fair enough to use it.

Still smacks of bed wetting though

Is Ward out ? Not seen anything public other than him saying how desperate he was to stay last week.
PIG - not been anywhere near the top of his game for ages
Upson - good luck to him, but prob one season left at best anyway
Andrews - not a huge loss IMHO. Nzuzi looks good
Orlandi - limited by injury, didn't contribute much this season
Lingard - would be happy to see him stay TBH as may develop
Ulloa - think he'll struggle in the prem if he goes. If he stays we need to get someone supporting him better

Loads of time to build a new squad, looking forward to next season. I shall be firmly keeping the faith at this point.

Haven't we started rebuilding with Toko? Wouldn't you say he has replaced Andrews.
