He did, will the Japanese guy replace him adequately?

I don't think we can rely on that at the moment.
I agree, Lamptey is the player we can afford to lose least.
But I don't think we'll lose anywhere near as many players as people seem to think. More than likely none in this window, and don't think more than 2 in the summer. If we do lose players, we'll have planned in ways to mitigate their loss

No one mentioned that we'd have an extra 150m to spend. Given the recent record of the scouting and recruitment department, I think we'd do just fine!
Cant sell all the top players at the same time.
As the contract situation looks right now, Bissouma, Trossard, Maupay and Mac Allister all needs to be sold in the summer if Brighton is going to get any money for them. Add Webster and Lamptey to that and next season would look like a relegation battle as replacing six players would be tough regardless of money spent. Luckily I think Maupay and Ali Mac will hopefully extend and that Webster and Lamptey will be around for another year.

They are absolutely desperate for a central defender so will be interested in every PL one there is.
With only 6 days left in the window teams can name their selling fee.
Should we say £25 million for BDB ?
No, the oil tax is far more than that.

I agree. It's clear now that we are aiming for a sustainable succession model as regards recruitment. I'd argue that we have more or less planned for Biss's departure and should the right offer come in we'd be happy to let him advance his career. We've been preparing for Biss to go for a while.
I'd say we definitely have no successor for Lamptey at all so I cannot see us even considering letting him go. Tariq also doesn't strike me as a greedy git so I do not think Newcastle would hold any allure for him.
Webster, hmm could we cope without him, maybe but we'd rather not. I get the feeling that Newcastle just watched the Chelsea game last week and thought "he looks good, let's ask about him". That is not the sort of enquiry we respond to seriously.

Wouldn't it simpler if the club just changed it's answerphone message to "**** off Newcastle" for the next few days?

For players and staff alike, the Albion is a great place to be right now, not sure any of them would want to move unless it was very silly money. Genuinely can see Newcastle struggling to attract the right players to stay up.
Given that for most of this season we've been without at least one of Webster (8 out injured), Bissouma (8 games out for various reasons) and Lamptey (6 out injured, 3 unused on the bench after injury) for most of this season and had points where two or three have been out, then I think it shows that, yes, we can cope without them. Whether we thrive without them is a very different question

Cant wait for this window to be over. Too many rumours surrounding our players.

I agree with half of what you say
I agree that staying at Brighton is a far more attractive option than many on these threads will have you believe. I believe that all the players who's contract is coming to an end will have been offered very attractive (and probably eye watering to us) new deals, which some of them will sign when it's right for them to do so.
I think Newcastle will have a depressingly effective final day of the window flurry, which will give them a great chance of staying up.

Alert from Lamptey, I’d say that we have potential successors lined up for every position. Sherpen and Rushworth for Big Bob, Roberts and Turns in central defence, the kid at Hearts for Cucurella, Caicedo and Alzate in central midfield, Sarmiento and Kozlowski for Trossard, Ferguson for Welbeck, the list goes on.

Good to see Bruno Guimaraes on verge of signing for the Saudis, as he plays same position as Biss.

We wouldn’t be as good, but still good enough to stay up. Just not for top half. If we’re looking at 9th currently then we’d be more the 14 type area if faced a whole season without them. About 12th if they left this Jan.
We have long term replacements already at the club but not short term so next season would be tricky. Could get by loosing one or two but I’d be worried if all started leaving.
