Saying keep Hendrie is all well and good, but his wages for the year could easily be that 350k. I'd rather have our captain back given an either or scenario.
To be fair, we've only had two players (Crofts & Calderòn) rumoured to interest other clubs, both of whom are getting far more revenue through the turnstiles and one is now in a higher division.
On the other hand, we've signed Painter, and hopefully we'll get KLL back too. Crofts has done a good job for us, but personally I won't worry if he leaves for a fair price because I do think he'll be fairly easily replaced by Poyet.

Stick a seven figure fee on his head, that should make them look elsewhere pretty sharpish.
It would be nice to think we could fend off these sharks for once.

Yes, for a 3rd division player, which is where we are and have been for a while.
For Crofts, an international footballer, 3rd division is not where he wants to be to further his career

It's not about agreeing with ME.
It's about having some gratitude and appreciation for someone who the largest number of people who expressed an opinion thought was the best player last season.
Some people, it appears, don't feel appreciative or grateful for that work - that's up to them. The vast majority, even if he wasn't their favourite player, do.

Seriously?
I'm not saying anyone would pay it!! Would just get them looking at other targets.
What are you on about?
When he plays well, I say well done,
when he is mediocre, I say he is,
when he is poor, I say he is.
What's your point?
I don't "treat" him any different to any other player. Look on the Crofts Wales Call up thread. I said "well done, deserves it."
I give him the "respect" and "gratitude" due to a consistent League One midfielder.

I think Andrew Crofts would quite easily meet the rise in standard if he played in the Championship, and Norwich City would be a good move for him.
However, I think staying at Brighton would be an even better move for him.

What has he done wrong apart from express an opinion on the relative merits of one of our players?
He didn't really deserve the barbed "predictable" comment, IMO.
He needs to prove himself at League One level first.
If Norwich think they'll be able to chuck £200K at us and take him home then they obviously haven't dealt with Bloom. If Crofts does leave I would expect a higher fee than even Knight could achieve.
We have history here. The Large One rates Crofts very highly. I don't rate him as highly.

It's an internet message board. I thought it was agreed that EVERYTHING on here is opinion.

Eh? How's getting 6/10 200 times proving yourself? (JOKE!)
By proving yourself, I mean rising to the top level of league one players, before he makes the step to the Championship.
By your logic, Andrew Whing is ready for Championship football.

If Crofts goes we will miss his workrate, he is the engine of the midfield and we miss him when he's not there.
It's like when people used to slag off Dean Hammond for not doing anything, then as soon as he goes the midfield starts getting overrun, the same will happen if we lose Crofts and don't replace him.
