RedM Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 All the talk of strengthening in Jaunuary, but have we even considered any of our players leaving? I wouldn't be surprised if a few clubs are circling seeing the position we are in and we could be fending off bids. Players themselves are being reminded by the Agents that they are around if needed, cream always rises to the top so they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of Kodjia I'd be very surprised if there are bids for our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I was thinking the other night Kodjia looking around him at Pride Park whilst Derby beat us wondering whether he made the right choice! If he was a starter at Derby/Hull/Brighton etc he could easily have 15+ goals with the better quality in that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised to see Wagstaff / El Abd leave permanently - if someone like Bobby Reid isn't getting game time, maybe a loan move for him?

Kibs Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Clearly some of the loans will be off - Simon Cox, Callum Robinson and probably Liam Moore.

Shtanley Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I don' think we would let any of our first teamers go for any price less than ridiculous. Would need to be double figures for Kodjia for us to consider it imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should certainly think twice about accepting any offer of £9 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at how the careers of those that have left us have dived. Pitman (can't run), Skuse (useless), Heaton (couldn't catch a cold), Keogh (not solid enough), Bolassie (headless chicken), Albert (inconsistent), JET (luxury player), Cunningham (squad player only), Baldock (only went to Brighton). Every single one of 'em better than what we've got now. The way things are right now I would blame any of our players for doing an offski. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team haven't, but that's my point. We are very focused on the need to bring in, but individually there are players who other teams would like I'm sure, some names already mentioned regularly picking up MOTM awards. We have got some good players. Not necessarily teams in the Championship, maybe Championship bound and looking to strengthen? Stranger things have happened. Last season it wasn't a problem, you just knew they were all part of the Promotion dream. This year it feels fractured, so being the fickle things that footballers are (mostly) I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were back to looking out for number one again.

samo II Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Without our loan players we can barely make a squad, so I would be surprised if we had a clear out, and that not even considering what SC has said about not liking the January window. I imagine a number of the players from last year would still be very appealing to certain clubs, as you don't perform to the level Freeman or Smith managed to in the promotion campaign and not win admirers. But whether people would go for them now is a different matter; imagine potential suitors will wait to see where we sit next summer, both to avoid paying over the odds, and to know quite how they performed at this level over a full campaign. All that said; hard to see many current first team players going - who on earth would we end up playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say every single one of them's better than what we have now but, whilst I can't see anyone in the squad doing a Bolasie, I think there are 5 or 6 players in the squad that can be much better than they've shown so far this season and who, in the right circumstances, could be regulars in a successful Championship team. Kodjia aside, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see any or all of Smith, Bryan, Williams, Flint or - poor though he has been so far at times - Freeman end up spending most of their careers at an upper Championship level.

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Anyone know who`s contracts are up at the end of the season? I can`t remember who it was on here used to post a list of when everyone`s did from time to time. If there are any due, would the club not listen to offers if they came in?

TheCulturalBomb Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Unless they have a release clause where a bid comes in above the amount stated, these players are going nowhere. If we don't improve however as poor as it is to say we could shift Kodjia on, the guy deserves more and the other players should be embarrassed. Angers are 2nd in Ligue 1 and In a Champions League space.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your general point but I strongly doubt many Brighton fans think the £2m they spent on Baldock for 5 goals in 35 games so far was money well spent. Trust me we saw them coming. Of ours now only Kodjia and Smith could attract interest but probably El-Abd will be the only one to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
