Hopefully not a Junior Doctor contract

Maybe we're waking up to not letting key players get near to the last year of their contract, and ensuring we are able to play hard ball with any bids that come in

5 year is the maximum length contract.

After spending some time at both Bognor and Eastbourne Town in 2010-11, the last I heard he had joined Lancing for the 2013-14 season.

I should imagine that there is a hefty goalkeeping appearance bonus in there somewhere.

Will half of NSC still be wanting to sell him when he makes his first gaffe/gets sent off?

Really pleased he sees his future here/ is happy for the Albion to get top dollar if he moves on, which they will if he is sold in the next year or so.

Excellent.
Stephens, Kayal & Knockaert next to sign longer deals then?

I'd love to think so, though think that Dale in particular, may need a little gentle persuasion at the moment.

He shouldn't..He's a serious injury away from a nightmare scenario!

Think it was very apparent from anyone who saw him in youth football and then even in his opening few first team games that he had the talent to play at this level and beyond.

Not from me. I want to watch him from Boy to Premier League, the only Brighton Player to have done that with our Club.

Wonder if he is our highest earner now or if that is still Knockaert?

It's really not like us to do new deals when there's 4 years to run. Must be something more to this...? Lesson learnt on Stephens possibly going for free? Hopefully doesn't mean there's a buy-out clause! Would be nice if Dunk can stop getting linked elsewhere for a few years now...

There are many that you feel have the potential and when one comes good we soon remember that it was always obvious, but generally it never is.

I think he turned heads in the FA youth cup game against Everton at Withdean, it seemed to catapult him from one of a few with a chance to Gus and his staff promoting him quite quickly after that.

Total guesswork here but here's my two pence. Maybe he had a contract that allowed him to speak to clubs once offers of a certain value were made and/or it us a nudge to other players that we are willing to pay decent money to high acheivers. Good luck to the lad there were plenty on here and amongst the wider Albion community that would've been happy to sell him to Fulham last season. He is one of the bestate young English centre half's and his best years are ahead of him.
