This is a good point. We know that the initial falling out was between Lynch and Adams, Dick Knight was subsequently accused of sticking his oar in at some point too. It seems to me that, as stated in the above post, these factors have now been removed. The question is, would Lynch like to wait 2 years for Falmer or would he prefer to stay with the 'bigger' club and play at a big stadium now.

My understanding was that the initial falling out was with DW mainly because Lynch was being a prize cock, something that he appears to excell at.
Without doubt a quality player though my Forest supporting mate says he only really came good at the end of the season, however a chip on his shoulder that will forever make him a liability. my view is that if Forest put in an offer we should take the money and run.
As an aside, I was informed that agents hate dealing with DK because he doesn't take any crap from them, which is where hammond fell foul.

Mixed feelings about this fellow, he's obviously got some talent but he appears to have a shocking attitude. Do we really want him rocking the good ship Albion? No 'I' in team and all that.....

I would be happy if Lynch stays, he was a class act under Wilkins (when we came 7th), and he wasn't bad when he first broke into the first team under McGhee in the Championship either. I wouldn't be too upset if he goes... as long as we get a sum of money that reflects the amount of effort the club have gone to in order to develop Lynch as a player.
Also, we know that Lynch is admired by Slade - Elphick, Lynch and Cox were mentioned by Slade in his first ever interview as Brighton manager as the three players he really admired.
It is one of the reasons other clubs' directors (sources from 4 clubs' boardrooms) respected DK so much - he was just as good at driving a bargain with the clubs as with the agents.
Thank f*** that silly old tosser has gone then
I have spoken to him a few times and actually I have always found him a very personable young man.
He had a serious falling out with the previous regime, however he always regretted what happened.
I sincerely hope Slade can give him what he wants and he comes back a rejuvinated player as I always thought he was class.
