Give the bloke a chance to make his mind up before writing his obituary.
He's got every right to look at any other offers and would be foolish just to sign a contract from Brighton without weíghing up the alternatives.
He's gone from player of the year and all-round hero to disloyal, ex-player in some people's eyes.

There is no loyalty in football, end of.
Clubs cut players if they are surplus or shift them on if they get a good offer.
Players move for the highest wages/best contract because this is their living.
All of which are understandable.
So why do fans get such a bee in their bonnet about the "loyalty" issue. It simply doesn't, and shouldn't, exist.
Andy Whing has been great for the Albion. We didn't lock him down before the contract expired (hedging our bets maybe?) and now he can look around. Good for him. Shame if he goes but he is perfectly entitled to. I'm glad we had his total commitment whilst he was at the club, which we did, and don't expect some sort of misplaced 'loyalty' now his contract is up.

Isn't he too busy trying to fix Hungry Joe's car to worry about such things as contracts?

Am I all alone here in thinking his genuinely a fantastic player??

No, you're not, he was my choice as player of the year and would hate to see him leave.

best talk to his agent - they do all the negotiations now, not the player

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer him to stay but if he wants to leave he's replaceable.
I'll be so glad when Falmer opens so we can become the club players want to come to for reasons other than resurrecting their careers or rescuing them from the stiffs and third or fourth choice at another club.

Got to agree with the majority of posters on here, he was an ever present last year, performed ok, don't think he was particularilily amazing just did his job, and out shone 10 other very average players on the pitch. Thought McNulty was the classiest player to pull on the shirt last season.
