Lynch transfer deal done £500,000 [Merged]

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The club has the nucleus of the most promising joined-up team since Micky Adams days. To flog off all that potential just to chuck in the Falmer black hole could finish off the club's League status quicker than LDC ever could. IMHO, like.

Seeing as if the players who excite go then the crowds will go too and the club will be in adminstration before the end of the season.

.. if the players who excite go then the crowds will go too and the club will be in adminstration before the end of the season.

what crowds?

 

[Zebedee]

So... the CE says we won't sell... if we then sell, then it's OK!!... bollox to that...

The point is that if we don't need to sell players to plug the Falmer hole then why sell them at all?

 

[Zebedee]

Any bids for any player over 250k and I reckon they'll be off.

That would be daylight robbery in my view.

Here, here Tom.

 

[Seagullible]

Story looks bollox to me BUT would the club sell one player who is in and out of the starting line up to ensure they can refuse a bigger offer for a regular first teamer.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

If offered 500k we should bite their hands off

 

[Zesh Rehman]

agreed, or am i kissing arse by agreeing Mark ?

 

[Superseagull]

Only if it included a whopping great sell on clause. There would be nothing worse than seeing him flogged off by his next club for millions that we missed out on.

10% at least, just in case.

 

[Sav]

Could have got more for Lynch if we sold him before the Season Started. He hasn't been consistant this Season though.

 

[Biscuit]

Am I the only one that doesn't think £500,000 would be enough?

Selling Lynch for that would be a steal in my book. A quality young defender who can play at left or center back, tall quick good tackle and a bucket full of potential.. they don't grow on trees! If we don't need to sell then don't. Unless the offer was nearer the £750,000 mark..

 

[Nemesis]

10% at least, just in case.

If the club sells any of the current squad there should be an appearance related bonus involved along with a 50% sell on clause. It's time that teams with a bit of cash to throw around paid us a fair price.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

To Stoke?

 

[Windmill]

The crowds will start going up again after Christmas, especially if we keep winning and scoring goals.

If we sell the good players however, results will nosedive, and the fans will become even more despondent.

The board needs to hold its nerve, slap a big price tag on these players and hope we can beat Bristol City.

Agree totally with this. Its been a long time since we have a team, where you think ' we are going somewhere'.

If Dick splits this team up, there will be an uprising. f***, with the money in Brighton, there should be a way to 'underwrite' this group of players.

 

[London Irish]

Pretty sure he said something like "we won't sell"... the bottom-line is he will look like a liar if we then do sell 1 or more of our young guns...

What? All football clubs buy and sell players, it's what they do to survive. We can't be the only one that bucks that trend. The question that has to be asked is "is it the right price?"

Lynch's form has been indifferent since the Crewe game when his poor pass got Mayo sent off.

But we know he looked very, very comfortable in a struggling team at Championship level, so that's the real test.

£500,000 on his current form would be a good price, but I think his potential is much, much higher than that.

That said, if we had to sell one of our youngsters this year to meet our debt obligations, and hence protecting all the others from being sold, Lynch is the one I would least mind losing, our youth system is churning out defenders but not midfielders like Cox or strikers like Robinson.

 

[London Irish]

Perhaps we wouldn't need to sell players if home attendances were averaging 7000.

Yep, 2,000 x £20 = £40,000 per game

23 x £40,000 = just under a million.

The difference over a season between selling probably 2 or 3 of our young players.

The answer of not selling our young players is in the hands of Brighton supporters, GO TO WITHDEAN!

Meanwhile, chairman Dick Knight has dismissed as "total rubbish" a report in a Sunday newspaper that Albion have agreed a £500,000 fee with Stoke for Joel Lynch to move to the Potteries on a three-year contract in the January transfer window.

Lynch's contract with the Seagulls was recently extended by a year through to June 2010 and Knight said: "He is going to be at this club for a long time.

"We have not agreed to sell Joel to anybody. We've had no approach and even if there was he isn't going anywhere."


So it must be true then
