Maybe, still depressing though.

You may well be right. Grant Hall wanting to leave stands firmer in my mind.

He was injured when we got him

Nothing wrong with making mistakes as long as we remember to learn from them. Hoskins had a history of injuries, same as Buckley and Orlandi, so if we are going to pick players up like this they have to be on the cheap knowing they are high risk.

Don't worry I'm not going to dwell on it :lolol: it was more of the debate on whether we were forced and had to let him go, over there was a loan option choice as well. Some are of the view that there was only one option.

Yep they have got the right to play elswhere but it could have been achieved through the loan system. I know Cook would have a sell on clause. but even so he was very cheap at £180k, hardly much extra change in the pocket. Different choices could have been made. Hypothetical I know, but this...

Thanks for spotting that. Chelsea bought him for £5m and he has been out on loan for 3 seasons.

Yep I understand this and I am pleased for him also. There are no fixed rules to the way it is played and you live and die by the sword. As I have asked Thunder Bolt on the Ward scenario connected with loans, what do we try to do, ask for another season loan or buy him?

It was my understanding at the time that Cook & Elphick didn't specifically want to leave Brighton but went out to Bournemouth on loan for about 3 months at the end of the 2011-12 season to get game time. Grant Hall on the other hand was desperate to leave. Now as far as building for the future...

We could have just extended his loan rather than get rid of him completely and I see this as bad business. He certainly could have played a part in our future and it was a mistake to sell him. He had a great game at RB as well against Liverpool in the Cup and was probably MOM that day.
