Summer Transfer window

And just like Frozen Planet , the predator circles above just as we are all having a jolly nice time with our mates.
One of the young on the pitch is swiftly attacked and grappled from our grasp .
Etete - The Sequel out for release in January it would seem from the amount of scouts at the matches recently .

Are we talking Leonard or Bowie - hopefully the latter as Leonard is integral to our success in my opinion? I guess this is the risk with getting players in on loan - we’re the victims of our success. I know that Mick Harford has been to more than one of our matches so I’m guessing that Luton are one of the circling vultures.

Who knows but it is likely to be Leonard followed by Bowie sadly .

[Ragdoll Cobbler]

If we can keep Leonard fit & have him til January, that's the best we can hope for unfortunately...

He's far far too good for L2 so why wouldn't Brighton want to see him perform at a higher level ala Etete last season?

Seems a season long loan never means that, unless we want to send a player back ala Nuttall!!!

Let's just enjoy him while we got him eh

Where has this come from?

Where has this come from?

Hopefully it’s 2+2=5 based on the presence of an increased number of scouts at our games.  You could equally say that there is likely to be interest in Hoskins as he can’t fail to have attracted the scouts.

At least he's on contract until Summer 2024.

Very costly to buy in January 2023 you'd have thought.

I’d be very interested to hear what you generally think the scouting networks from the 69 clubs above us in the league pyramid get up to on Saturday afternoons?

My bet would be attending the games of better performing sides lower down the pyramid.

We happen to be one of them so it doesn’t come as a major surprise.

I’d say Hoskins is the main draw scouting wise.

I think a season long loan should mean a season long loan. If the club intends to recall them in January why don't they just make it a 6 month loan and reassess it in January. It annoys me when we work hard to get good young talent for another club to then benefit in January

It's the law of the jungle.
There are probably examples of where we have done similar to teams below us?

Indeed but why not make it 6 months, like we have with Connor & Ngwa at Rushden. Then at that point a decision can be made to send elsewhere, stay on where they are or recall completely.

[Welly Cobb]

Haven't we repeatedly done that with Ngwa and Adimbola and the like from Rushden and Kettering quite often in the last year, to pull them back to cover injuries and the like in the middle of the loan spell?

[guest3063]

We should get some free agents in now. Get them fit and ready for when we lose these players in January. JB recently said there were some decent ones out there but the problem is they aren't fit enough for immediate action.

[Mysterious Curle]

A bit like Appiah, Magloire, Odimayo, Nolan etc…

[guest3481]

Surely if they were decent they wouldn't be out there.

Please explain who Appiah is please? A bit of a mix of Appere and Eppiah possibly 

[macca1959]

And Nolan he’s long gone

[MCHammer]

What can you do it's the risk of the loan system.  Let the club worry about it and enjoy the players for the time they are here.

When we were in league 1 we took Kioso for the second half of the season after he’d done well for Bolton in the first half of the season.

Where has this come from?

Basically from Boots. who although sometimes derided has occasionally been correct. He appears to study the comments on here involving such players as Leonard and Bowie and makes an opinion based on said observation. Often presented in some sort of puzzle. Generally find it difficult to put money on his hunches
