Joel Lynch

[severnside gull]

Nahki Wells then

Now you're talkin'.

Lynch is at best very average with little to really commend him including minimal sell.on value.
I've said before the best option for a fourth centre back is Curtiss Nelson on a free from Plymouth if Rangers don't grab him first. Young & promising but with lots of experience too.
Wells up front playing off Hemed would be a real predator. The other one I'd fancy in that role would be Dwight Gayle but, maybe wrongly, I'm not sure about his attitude. Wells would be an excellent signing in my book.

Lynch would be a good addition to the squad, but not the first 11. He has a bit of that stealiness and naughtiness that we are missing at times, Kayal has it but we need more players with that guile about them

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Has he improved since he left then?

If Wells fancies coming south then yes, l would agree with you. I fancy Gayle would want too many pennies though.

 

[BensGrandad]

Lynch is one I wouldnt want back even for the DS or as a squad member

 

[8ace]

Even better! A swap deal with Baldock going the other way (like how Boro sent Whitehead there in exchange for Clayton)

Probably be more like £4m + Baldock

He's got as much guile as a double decker bus, & the same turning circle. We all burst out laughing when Buckley left him sitting on his backside, & then scored.

 

[GT49er]

Lynch? OMG yes! - I'd forgotten about him. He used to play for us didn't he? In which case, sign him up, obviously - get him in straight away! After all, we don't want any rubbish that has never pulled on a Brighton & Hove Albion shirt on before, do we ... ... ... ...

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Probably be more like £4m + Baldock

I've a strong feeling that Chris loves Sam Baldock, and would be very reluctant to let him go. He is very much a Chris Hughton type of player.

Think about it, he has a good work ethic, puts in no end of energy, can run all day, has a good understanding with Tomer, and is very much a 'team' player. I like him too, just such a shame he can't contribute with a few more goals.

I'm still laughing now!

 

[The Rattler]

No but he would be a stellar choice as the new scapegoat...

Lynch mob?

It's all about opinion, and when our players get clattered by the likes of Lynch and get up, retaliate and get booked, players like Lynch get away Scott free. This is the 'type' of player we've missed, and other than Kayal we don't really have it.
Its been a long time since Buckley has delivered anything other than sick notes to anybody, the season we got from him would appear to have been his peak

 

[METALMICKY]

Does he still go down and feign injury when he gets skinned?

And let's not forget the alarming regularity for a pro footballer he was seen out in Eastbourne on the piss!

No thanks, we can do better.

 

[MF'84]

I know we have a thing for former players, but come on....

Interesting little article here with Joel explaining how tough his situation as a free agent is:

[seagull_special]

Obviously his mistake was going for a one year contract in the hope that he could negotiate a better deal on promotion. It’s really sad to see that football has been impacted in the same way that other industries have. The hope is that during his long career, he has built up a substantial nest egg. Wish him and all the players desperate for a contract the best of luck.

You take a chance, and it it doesn.t pay off. It's called life.

This, his greed of a better contract versus stability of an offered 2 year deal. He rolled that dice and lost.

Go and drive for Amazon or Asda like the rest of us if you can't find a club. No sympathy at all.

1000's are losing long standing careers, homes, everything and clever dick is upset his extra money grab plan back fired.

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

I was sorry to lose him when he went, but I wouldn't want him back now. We've moved onwards and upwards and if we must make further signings in that position, we can do better than Joel.

One man's greed is another's ambition.
