Not necessarily, harmony in the dressing room is paramount, I think the likes of Welbeck and Milner if they voiced concern would be listened too by Bloom.
Is there any credible source that there’s any issue in the dressing room? If there’s some dressing room disquiet I’d still expect Hurzeler to see out the season. There’d have to be some major problems for action to be taken earlier.

Love how the BBC's Simon Stone categorically KNOWS that Brighton would sell Evan this January. No quotes. No indication of sources. But he somehow knows exactly what Tony is thinking.

Simon has just used the generic Brighton and Hove Albion headline template.

Brighton would be willing to sell [insert position here] [insert player here] in the [January/Summer*] transfer window if they receive a suitable offer.

*delete as appropriate.

If there is discontent think what it'll be like if we lost at Forest which is very possible and got beat by Chelsea in cup and league again, very possible. Our season would virtually be over! Imagine the discontent on NSC😁

Our season is over already. Not good enough for Europe this year. Good players being forced out, replacements average (except Rutter) or injured or on loan, won't win FA Cup. Mid table obscurity incoming this season.

Which good players are being forced out? Enciso? He wouldn't sign a contract extension - what are supposed to do? Ferguson? He's hardly played for 18 months, and it seems that's mainly down to injuries/sickness. And when he's had a few chances he hasn't shown much. Maybe I'm missing something.

I just find this whole thing very, very bizzare. Here's a young lad that looked great before the injury. Seemed to be the real deal and have a mature attitude for his young age, yet we are looking to loan or sell?? We're not exactly blessed with a large number of CF's and he gives us something a bit different to Welbeck or Pedro. When he's fit, he shouldn't be getting minutes on loan in someone elses team, he should be getting game time with us. Welbeck will miss some more games this season I'm sure and if Pedro gets crocked then we're screwed unless the club has an eye on a 'ready made' striker to come in before the window shuts? What the hell has happened for the saga to come to this??

And imagine how they'll be if we win the majority. Our players will be world beaters. Perspective needed. I wonder how many PL clubs are willing to pay 'real money' for him.

It is going to be a fact of life these days with large squads and players 'not playing' that there will be discontent. It is different challenge for the manager from when we we had the choice of Maupay or Connolly up front. In a way GP worked wonders with the resources he had available.

I get the impression most people are upset over potentially selling Ferguson rather than losing to Everton.

Brighton and Hove Albion staff have been around Evan for a number of years, monitoring him, watching him, assessing goodness knows what and have obviously decided a loan or a sale would be good for BHA or/and Evan himself.
I'm pretty sure they've taken a lot of time and considered the implications of first team players getting injured and what they'll do if it happens.
The decision won't have been taken without weighing up the pros and cons.
Trust das process!!

You might be right but at 20 it’s too early to write him off. The lack of news makes us speculate about his fitness and health but maybe the club realise they have a gem and are protecting him ……. Or maybe not. I guess we’ll learn more with what happens in the next week or so. Unfortunately for Evan, FH seems to like mobile, technical, interchangeable players who attack from wide positions. Evan feeds off the quality of other players, however in his more recent games he was bullied by defenders who got to the ball before him.

He’ll learn but need someone to learn from. Zamora?
Well we didn’t see much of that on Saturday

That’s one game and we know why we lost.
