Please tell me that is not us selling him for that.

I don't read it like that, £25K to pay to have him on loan till the end of this season.
He is under contract with us till the season after next.

Notts Forest are paying us £ 25000 for the use of Lynch's services until the end of the season. If they saty up they will sign him full time , if they go down he will come back is the bottom line. A decent bit of short trm business to get £ 25000 and not have to pay his wages but Forest must see a lot in him to offer that money.

How soon is now?
No its just a rental agreement. A good bit of business I reckon, although i'd rather have him here enthusiastically fighting for his place, but he's not interested so f*** it, we move on.

I never said we had sold him for that

I would wholeheartedly agree with the comment above about having him back in Brighton and fighting for a place in the team, sadly this is incredibly unlikely with the current managerial structure in place, so leaving him at Forest until the end of the season and charging them £25k for the pleasure would seem like good business. Of course, a lot can change in a few months, Forest might avoid relegation and they may keep Joel (for a fee), they may go down and we could sell him to someone else (he will have spent a few months in a shop window slightly larger than division one can offer)...or, there may be a managerial change at the Albion that is able to pursuade him that his future is here and not elsewhere.

Good business..... 25,000 and everyone's happy.
I don't think Lynch is interested in being here regardless of who the manager is.

In which case choose from my first two options. I find it really sad that we have arrived at this situation as I consider him to be possibly the best of that whole crop of academy players who made it through to the first team, I always felt that if he got the right move it could see him play football at the highest level...which he still might!
I agree it's sad, but I just wonder whether Lynch has a touch of the Leon Knight syndrome (ie - I'm far too good for Brighton) about him.
I hope that's not the case, as he's a player I'd love to see in our team, but sadly I think he's a lost cause as far as him playing (or more accurately, wanting to play) for the Albion again is concerned, so the best course of action has to now be to get as much money for him as we can, and this 25k is certainly a better start than nothing.

Personally I think he may well change his mind come pre-season next year or if not will be sold.
Shame really as a very talented player.

You are probably right about the Leon Knight syndrome, add to that the CKR situation, it shows that at times we have difficulty managing players with real talent (regardless of what you think of the three it is hard to argue that they didn't)...Leon doesn't seem to have made the most of his career, CKR has gone from strength to strength since leaving...I guess we are at a 'watch this space' situation with Joel.
I think you've just made a late bid for NSC's "Biggest Understatement Of 2008" Award there.

Why is everyone happy? We lose one of our better centre backs and by sending him out on a long term loan, we cannot recall him.
Let me guess, it's all Micky Adams' fault?

Well seemingly none of the coaching staff would talk to him when he was at the training ground over the Christmas break.
