What’s Bright up to these days?
I think it's pretty clear now that Shipley isn't going to make it at Chanmpionship level. He has been a passenger in too many games and his fitness level is poor. At he age he is at , I don't think any of that is going to improve and I think MR has come to that conclusion too. He doesnt even bring him off the bench anymore.get rid of
Kastaneer/ Bakayoko/ Allen/ Jobello/ Marosi/ Mason + a few of the u23s who arent going to make it eg Bremang comes to mind
Keep
Shipley (hoping he can move forwards after a disappointing season) /Biamou (A great bench option)
Key will be the recruitment espscially the loans - as they will influence whether we are top half or relegated (or somewhere in between)
Didn't he say in his interview with the Athletic that he didn't want to be at Brighton if he wasn't playing and that Brighton would have to sell players for that to happen? All well and good them having big plans for him but if he wants to play and thinks that won't happen there why would't he look elsewhere? Not that it necessarily means he ends up here.A couple of Brighton mates seem to think we have zero chance of signing Ostigard, they have high hopes for him.

I’m willing to bet any money his agent has spoken to clubs about him, including usIf they trigger the extension clause and demand a big fee for him there's not a great deal anyone can do about it including him. Interesting no German clubs have approached him for a Bosman

He’s been happy to be contracted to Brighton while out on loan the last two seasons. I don’t see why it would be any different next year if they activated the extra year.Didn't he say in his interview with the Athletic that he didn't want to be at Brighton if he wasn't playing and that Brighton would have to sell players for that to happen?

He was overrated mate, we should have Signed Gnanduillet. I never watched him play, but I think he could be championship top scorer mate next yearPreston fans know he’s over rated unlike many on here who felt he was the next Gaza

Impressive list and if we can get those I would be very happy. Is Panzo left footed ie left centre back.New GK - One of the many Prem loanees will do
LWB - McCallum or the lad from Shrewsbury
CB - Østigård
CB - Panzo
CM - James
CM - Walsh
AM - Prem loanee
ST - Ugbo
New GF - Kate Upton
Scored 14 league goals last season and 9 So far this season despite not always starting. That is better than what we have. Realistically he's what we can afford and and an upgrade on Max and Baka. I think Godden and Walker would play well off him.no better than what we have
Nothing yet@better days you heard anything about any potential targets for the summer? Be interesting to see whether we still target players abroad. We were linked in January with an ex Man City centre back plying his trade in Europe somewhere I recall.
That caught my eye too, his goal record isn’t brilliant but he’s got all the tools, physical, quick, has good technique. 6ft2 and still only 25.Man united academy had a good loan spell at barnsley that eventually led to boro paying £6.5m for him. Could be the next bakayoko if we signed him but could be worth taking on a free if wages aren’t too ridiculous and robins thinks he could get the best out of him.Ashley Fletcher is being released by Middlesbrough
Fletcher and Assombalonga both released. Warnock said they've already got clubs lined up for next season so didn't want them around anymore.That caught my eye too, his goal record isn’t brilliant but he’s got all the tools, physical, quick, has good technique. 6ft2 and still only 25.Man united academy had a good loan spell at barnsley that eventually led to boro paying £6.5m for him.

Big fan of hisAssombalonga available.
A Rotherham player has it cant remember his name thoughIf we cant keep Mccallum for another season which I honestly dont think we will we will miss those long throws which have lead to several crucial goals the last few games.
would be nice to pick a player up who has this in their armoury. Any suggestions ?
I was but his numbers suggest he’s not as good as he was, would command big wages aswellBig fan of his
Interesting to see where they end up.Fletcher and Assombalonga both released. Warnock said they've already got clubs lined up for next season so didn't want them around anymore.
Couple of U23 players out of contract this summer:
Reece Devine - CB/LB - Man Utd. Was normally a LB but played most of his games for United at CB this season. Could be an option for our troublesome LCB spot. 6'0 so not bad height, good pace, strong in a tackle. I know you all love a YouTube compilation so here you go.
Marcel Lewis - LW/AM - Chelsea. 4 goals, 7 assists this season. Been linked with a PL and Bundesliga move but could be agent bollocks. YouTube comp here.
Charlie McCann - CM/AM - Man Utd. Signed by United from Cov's academy. Was an England youth winger/10 when they bought him but United have tried turning him into a holding midfielder with mixed success. If he gets released and goes somewhere that isn't Cov I'll be fuming. Played a more attacking role in this game against Southampton and bagged twice including a Bergkamp-esque effort.
Tom Clayton - CB - Liverpool. Another left-footed CB and potentially their U23s captain. Played basically every game this season. Scored 3 goals. Can also play DM and LB.
Nathan Broadhead - ST/AM - Everton. 16 games, 9 goals. Believe he played against City while on loan at Burton last season. Had 2 goals and 2 assists in 19 games with Burton while playing left wing. Can play either wing and up front. Talented player but 23 now and needs a move.
