[Albion] Carlos Baleba

[Flounce]

Copying what I just put on the other thread:

Why would Baleba being wanted by those clubs not be true? I’m sure they’re all interested, the kid has a massive future. He won man of the match for us two/three games in a row just a few weeks ago. He’s a brilliant young talent.

The only thing I don’t believe about that story is the price. We’re not going to let him go for only £55m after just one season.

I think we’d sell him for that but nobody is paying that at the moment

I think your right, it’s all so depressing at the moment.

I may even put a cheeky £20 on us being relegated next season, that’s where sadly my mojo is right now.

That's what I'll be doing, we were 50/1 last season - think we will be a lot shorter this time round

I agree.

Often see poor end of season form rollover.

Agree with most of this, but £55m is a lot for potential…..

However, like you I think he is a star in the making and eventually could be worth significantly more.

If Mitoma and Pedro feel the same, they will force a way out so best get your bet in early!

Indeed, like when Leicester narrowly avoided relegation and then..... oh, hang on.

I think I'm at the stage where I think why sell a player we only just bought for £25m when Chelsea (or someone else) will pay £75m+ at the end of next season. We paid £25m for potential already. Do I think he's added £30m in value this season? No, however, I do think he's shown glimpses that his promise is real.

In this whole thing, I do find it funny that Guehi is being linked with a £55m move to Man United, Eze and Olise are both "available" for £60m and Carlos is in that bracket despite, in my opinion, all three of those being genuinely very good players, proven in the PL already. Given the market, £60m for either of those two players is a bargain. That said, in a winger market where Mudryk is £90m and Antony is £85m, everyone looks cheap.

Leicester didn't end that season in bad form though. They won 7 of their last 10 to finish 14th and kept that form going the following season.

Agree on the comparison with the CP players but, as an explanation, Guehi, Eze and Olise are all 3+ years older than Carlos

hang on... i would take relegation after winning the premier league...

Also, good young forwards are a dime a dozen.

Good young defensive midfielders aren't.

Having said that I still wouldn't sell him at this stage - he'll be worth much more in a year or two.

More regurgitated Twitter nonsense from that buffoon Owen and Brighton Bubble who must trawl the internet looking for references to BHA and its players then repost for ‘likes’ what a sad sad life…….

Apparently Barco is going to Saudi according to them !!! Kin hell he’s only played 180 mins.

…and then going back up again

I doubt they are trawling the internet - can easily do it via some automation

In fairness, neither have ever said that they're posting these as facts. Both accounts are mainly just centralising rumours in one place. All you need to do is look at the sauce to know if it's serious or not. This one is notorious spam site "Caught Offside", so I'd file this one under "nonsense"

I’ll (again) put my £5 on us to win the PL and £20 to finish top 4. The odds will be much longer next season

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

That has to be nonsense. He has a lot to work on before he’s even consistent at our level yet

Other than they weren’t in poor form, but carry on….. sigh
