Unfortunately I think it's based on his actual performances when he has played over the last couple of seasons.

Earlier this week, we’ve seen Portuguese newspaper A Bola revealing Sporting’s interest in Brighton & Hove Albion fullback Tariq Lamptey. It was claimed that with the Lions looking for a reinforcement for that position, the Seagulls’ player is ‘well referenced’ by them. Today, A Bola is back...

My instinct is that he isn’t a RDZ player. He’s hugely entertaining to watch, but loses the ball quite frequently. Him out for €15m, Boey in for €20m, and a new contract for Veltman seems like something we might do.

He’s the only player that seems to have gone backwards in the last few years. I think it may be the injury. When he first came on the scene he was the most exciting player we had and made those covid games so enjoyable. I want to give him more time and a run of games and keep him tbh…
I’ve noticed this in his appearances under RDZ. Did he used to give the ball away all the time when he was the best RB in the League pre-injury? I honestly can’t remember? But I’d hope we break even in terms of the Boey fee and the Lamptey sale if your vision come to fruition.

Im not sure he's that bad, he is PL standard. I believe his strength is definitely more in the attacking sense than defending, and he was/is a good player for a team playing a back 3, which we used too but dont really anymore.
With a back 4, you have to be able to defend and thats the weakness in his all round game.

I agree with this to an extent but then look at some of the positions Pervis finds himself in. At times he's playing like a centre forward!

Wow a few days after officially qualifying for the Europa league and a player who has suffered terribly due to injuries and hardly played is no longer regarded as PL standard and needs to be shipped 
All these extra Europa league games with an ageing Veltman and right now no other right back option yeah piss off Lamptey you are championship son FFS.

Has suffered terribly with injuries. Could certainly have done with him at the back end of this season.

Briefly TL was an incredible attacker, suspect defender. He lost that attacking effectiveness a long time ago. My heart sinks when I see his name and not Veltman’s on the team sheet, he can’t defend.

He's not an EPL standard defender

No idea how you could draw that conclusion? A couple of years ago in the PL, he was arguably our best player in the PL. Loads of MOTM peformances and rave reviews in the PL.
Yes injuries and form have curtailed him, but that doesnt guarantee he cant get back to those levels. If he can, he will again be a good PL player.

It's been unfortunate really but he's struggled so badly with injuries and he doesn't have that outrageous pace anymore. Without it, sadly, he just isn't that good. Gutted for him really because he was so exciting when he burst onto the scene. If we want to improve the squad this summer replacing him with quality would be an obvious move.
The negativity on here about Lamptey not being adequate for the PL, I just don't understand it.
Previously he has shown his qualities in being a pacey, energetic RB with a strong will and good determination.
Of course injuries have affected him physically and since he has come back it seems to be hard for him to get back to that previous level.
However he has time to grow, and I believe he has a good mental attitude, maybe Brighton isn't the club for him now but he still does have a lot of potential.
