I was hoping that when Slade came in, Lynch might see the Albion in a different light, and that a part of him would want to come back and play for us again.
Seemingly he doesn't
Do we know that he doesn't? He couldn't come back this season anyway because Forest paid a fee for him to be there on loan until the end of the season.
You're right, we don't know. I was just assuming that, if there is any truth in this £200,000 rumour, Forest may have discussed it with Lynch first. I might be wrong and I suppose there is no reason why they would have done.
I would love to have him back at the club. Hopefully Slade and Knight can have a word with him and persuade him his future lies here.
Exactly - but how long do we have to wait for this early potential to be realised? We waited far too long for players like Robinson and Gatting to 'fulfill their potential' - I say we should take Forests money and run!I agree but if Joel could re-capture some of his early potential, he would be worth far more to us than anyone we could buy for £200K.
I wouldn't take it.
My reading of the situation is that at the end of last season Lynch was worth more than £200,000. However he has had an indifferent season at Forest and, off the back of that, Forest want to get him on the cheap. They will probably argue that they have already paid one years' worth of wages and £25,000 for the season long loan and therefore they have already paid in part (of sorts) for the player.
I would wait before the managerial situation is clearer before making a decision. However, this does go to show that it will be important to get a pernament manager in place within a couple of weeks of the season ending.
What on earth has the fact they have paid one years worth of salary got to do with his fee, they have had the use of his services for that period.
I say get rid and include a 30% sell on clause.

This was the guy who REFUSED to play for us because he was having a sulk about Adams treatment of him. He can f*** right off in my book, totally unprofessional and from comments made on here by a certain ex Albion player a while ago non too popular with the rest of the squad.
CKR got slaughtered on here because he was a bit stroppy but at no stage did he refuse to play, if he had NSC would have imploded. CKR was also a much better player.
