Don’t like this one bit.

Not what we want hear. Maybe there will be consideration given to our chances of promotion?

 

[MJB]

Annoying that he has just passed his driving test too. We really need to limit his opportunities to leave Oxfordshire before May!

 

[Bath Yellow]

Dread the thought of being left with Eastwood fo the rest of the season, have a feeling McGinty will go back to Ireland

 

[McXal]

Unfortunately this is the dice you roll when you have your #1 keeper be a highly rated, top drawer young prospect that you don’t own.

We’ve reaped the benefits of it over the first half of the season. He has been a joy to watch and has raised the bar tangibly over what we should expect as a keeper in a viable promotion winning team. But, if Brighton think he’ll get regular football at Championship level, then he will be off. There’s not much more to it than that. Unless he’s DESPERATE to stay here (and he seems a level-headed, ambitious, impressive young man who will be as likely to want to challenge himself a league higher to further his development than stay…)

Assume we are already having pretty serious recruitment meetings to cover that pretty realistic eventuality. Or aim to be recruiting pretty exceptional outfield reinforcements to offset the fact that going back to Eastwood as #1 is a step backwards. (That wouldn’t necessarily be a season-ender - Appleton got us promoted with really mediocre goalkeepers - but we would need to improve outfield to offset the reduction in quality between the sticks)

If Beadle goes hope we look toward Jamie Cumming, would be a mighty shame. Never been a fan of loan goalkeepers however

That simply can't, and won't, be allowed to happen.

Would be as negligent as declining to sign a striker or two this January and sticking Bodin up top for the remainder instead.

 

[Osei Yaw]

If Beadle goes then maybe we can sign Max Crocombe. He was very good on Saturday and I've heard of him, so he ticks two of the most important boxes for me.

 

[Gordon]

Hopefully this is all just rumours and Beadle will stay for the season.

I can't see why Brigton would want to uproot him and move him when he seems so settled, and is doing well.

I would imagine Brighton would have a development timeline in place for him, and that would involve a full season at league 1, followed by 2024/25 in the Championship, then potentially 2025/26 he's in the frame to be involved with the Brighton first team?

A lot will come down to what James wants I think. If he sees us putting together a consistent promotion challenge, I imagine he will want to be a part of that. There is no massive rush on his side, he will get his season in the champ one way or another.

If he sees us all fart no s**t, then I imagine he might start asking questions.

 

[sideshowrob]

He is living with his grandparents in Oxfordshire so this will be a big factor in our favour.

 

[Eric Blair]

I know he's brilliant, a real talent and future England keeper and everything but I tried to give him a high five at the end of the Charlton match and he left me hanging so f**k him.

Lol.

As if James Beadle's gonna be like "spend the f**king £400k already ya dickheads"

 

[MJB]

If anything, he's gone up in my estimations after reading this.

 

[Wallop]

High five! - just how tall are you?

He knows a fake Oxford fan when he sees one...

No but I'd imagine if it fails to be spent again or we don't bolster our coaching staff etc etc he might feel it would be a wasted year.

 

[Victor1986]

He will not want to be a bench warmer at Hillsborough - he certainly would not be No.1 so why move?

 

[MJB]

To get away from the fella constantly demanding high-fives.

 

[WEYellow]

He will not want to be a bench warmer at Hillsborough - he certainly would not be No.1 so why move?

He almost definitely would be

 

[Eric Blair]

6ft 4 which is why I was gutted as I thought we’d have a whole “tall lads” thing going on
