I’d take 15m for him if it was my call
So would I. Especially given that I'm just a chump season ticket holder and not the owner. It would be like winning the lottery without buying a ticket. Bring it on!

He does have a tricycle though!
Either way, he’s going to be busy dealing with the consequences of his latest Beach escapades for the immediate future:

Looking at the squad make up.
Potter played a 4-2-3-1 formation most frequently last year, but also has a liking for 3 at the back.
To satisfy this the squad ideally would have
GK(3) - Ryan, Button, Steele
LB(2) - Bernardo, Bong
CB(5) - Dunk, Duffy, Burn, Balogun, Clarke
RB(2) - Montoya +1
CM(4) - Pröpper, Bissouma, Kayal, Stephens
ACM(2) - Groß +1
ALM(2) - Trossard, Locadia
ARM(2) - Alireza, March
CF(3) - Murray, Andone +1
So trading Knocky in for a more central midfield attacker seems to make some sense.
I've got family who are Brighton season ticket holders and they think he's shitehouse.
Why is Locadia not in the CF section? Then Solly goes ALM (in Izzy’s absence) and Knocky goes ARM... now you see why we need to keep or replace Knocky, and replace will cost a lot more than £15m BTW...

Locadia can play either CF or ALM.
It doesn't really matter what designation each player is given - but if you want to recruit both an ACM and a CF then something has to give in the squad - or you are looking at an U21 for either RB, CF, or ACM.
It would be easy to say 'oh, just sell Locadia or Alireza' but (a) they have to want to go and (b) at a price the club thinks is fair.

Bernardo has already hinted at Potter’s expected tactics of the constant swapping from a back 4 to a back 3 as well as players playing new positions. With no more signings, I think the Squad vs Positions would look more like this:
GK(3) - Ryan, Button, Steele
LB(2) - Bernardo, Bong
LWB (2) - Bernardo, Suttner
CB(5) - Dunk, Duffy, Burn, Balogun, Clarke
RB(2) - Montoya, Balogun, Schelotto
RWB (2) - Schelotto, March
CM(4) - Pröpper, Bissouma, Kayal, Stephens
ACM(2) - Groß, Trossard
Left Inside Forward(3) - Trossard, Izqueirdo, Locadia
Right Inside Forward (2) - Alireza, March.
Left Wing (2) Izquierdo, Trossard
Right Wing (2) - March, Alireza
CF(3) - Murray, Andone, Connolly
You're right about a replacement. Tony can quickly nip down to the "winger who we can afford who, who come to us, who will tear up the premier league" shop and pick one up. Job done
