Agree 100% except the fee? what do you consider low? i would expect five hundred thousand unless we do a Savage type deal where Brighton take half of any future payment and he comes for nothing? which would be just fine.WestYorksRoyal wrote: ↑28 Mar 2026 19:08 He's clearly high potential and has improved as the season has gone on. But he's miles off Brighton's first team and I don't think he's performed at a level to reach the Championship next season.
So on the assumption we're still in L1, I think this is a viable option we should be pursuing. Relatively low fee and sell on clause.
Would suggest <£500k, perhaps with add ons for promotion etc., afterwards.Crowbar6753 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2026 19:20Agree 100% except the fee? what do you consider low? i would expect five hundred thousand unless we do a Savage type deal where Brighton take half of any future payment and he comes for nothing? which would be just fine.WestYorksRoyal wrote: ↑28 Mar 2026 19:08 He's clearly high potential and has improved as the season has gone on.

Agreed again, maybe one of the top six and some of the bigger clubs (Of which i consider us in that bracket) plus maybe one of the teams gaining promotion may take a gamble otherwise that's about it. There's no way i see him breaking into Brighton's first team any time soon and i reckon he's now enjoying his stay with us and would much prefer life as a Royal building with us than Brighton U21'sWestYorksRoyal wrote: ↑28 Mar 2026 19:58Would suggest <£500k, perhaps with add ons for promotion etc., afterwards.Crowbar6753 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2026 19:20Agree 100% except the fee? what do you consider low? i would expect five hundred thousand unless we do a Savage type deal where Brighton take half of any future payment and he comes for nothing? which would be just fine.WestYorksRoyal wrote: ↑28 Mar 2026 19:08 He's clearly high potential and has improved as the season has gone on.

Still pretty big L1 money tbf. The likes of Exeter and Wimbledon couldn't do it.
