I wouldn't quite go that far. If a team has long term injuries to players they should be able to replace them in January and if a player isn't getting first team football they should be allowed to leave but yeah this crap of teams pinching other teams' first team regulars in January should be banned
Absolutely 100% this. Naive young lad has been hoodwinked by parasitic advisors looking to monetise their best 'asset'. I don't see him downing tools at all if he stays.

We shouldn't be dealing with little clubs like Chelsea.

I really feel the club need to hold firm with this one and send out a message that we aren't going to just roll over and get our bellies tickled every time a player/agent tries to force a move. Trossard was OK because we have better players in his position (imo) but caicedo would be a huge loss at this point. If we let him go this window as well as trossard, it would really make us look a soft touch

Maybe should be a rule that a player who has played 'x' amount of games can't be transferred in the January window.

Maybe Lewis will take him to one side and say "Listen mate, I tried this ages ago and look at me still here, then there was this other bloke called Dale he tried it but ended staying around for ages. If the club get an offer for you they are happy with they'll let you go. Otherwise there is no way you will be able to force them to, so just crack on, do your best and you will get you wish"

A bit like Todd Boehly and Graham Potter, and his staff. They thought they were on to a good thing but so far it’s been a huge crock of shit.
Two expressions spring to mind - the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, and, careful what you wish for.
Is Keith a friend?
Let's remember that if he's forced to stay, he's still an important Brighton player and we should all support him as such. Like we did with our Dale Stephens songs. Throwing our toys out of the pram and having a go at him would hurt no one but us.

Or maybe there should be a rule that they ditch the Jan window.

I went LARGE with 5 whole pounds
If he’s as good a lad as previously reported, suffering a temporary brain fart at the behest of amateurish new agents, I could see him knuckling down.

It will end up being very funny if Partey is ruled out for a long time and that Arsenal are £20m+ short of the asking price for a replacement because they'd spent it on Trossard. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, one must have a heart of stone to watch Arsenal lose the league from 8 points clear without laughing.
This. You've got your players, now suck it up.

100%. The only clubs this really benefit is the top clubs with money to spend. Either that or change the rules so you can’t buy a player from another team in the same division, as it then becomes an unfair competition. For example Palace could potentially play us twice without Caicedo.
So Dale Stephens didn't help us get promoted after we refused to let him go? And Dunk has been an absolute liability in the last few years after stopping him going to Fulham? And Harry Kane is really letting Spurs down at the moment, having stopped him going to City?
What on earth are you talking about?
That isn't really true
Clubs across the 92 benefit from the Jan window.
AFC Wimbledon have just sold a player for a much needed million.
Trashing his reputation in the process? The approach so far is hardly rocket science! There are plenty of good agents around that advise players sensibly and move them on at the appropriate moment without all this drama.
