According to Naylor hasn't he got the chance to "prove himself" on the pre-season Austria trip?

Oldham boss John Sheridan was a big of Hunt and was keen to bring him back to the club for next season as defender's versatility in that he can play right-back or left-back bolsters Sheridan's defensive options.
Bit of a typo going on there!

Even more so given the Argus article last week about him going out to Austria with the first team.

Shame if true. He was good.

I hope not, but then that site rarely gets anything right regarding our incoming transfers so fingers x'd its the same with outgoing

I guess he won't be filling in at LB then.
Sometimes it boils down to the players choice. If he was told that there was an opportunity for a permanent move and decided that was what he wanted to do, I can't imagine the club standing in his way.
Personally I think he is a little too short for a modern top class fullback, which is a real shame.

Brighton want Aurier https://t.co/uM9QameOHc

and...
He isn't even as good as Dan Harding.
There always exceptions. A generation ago this would have been a non-issue.

Nowhere near good enough for premier league. Decent player for the Lower leagues but that's it.
Rose tinted specs have to go now.

We said when Cook and Elphick left and they reached the Premier League before we (Brighton) did. He's a young lad with potential. No one is saying he would have been a starter in the PL but he was young lad who could play on either side of defence and showed promise.
This all day long. Good move for him

Not good if true, as far as I'm concerned. If we're (or TB is) going to spend zillions on the Dev. squad, I want Dev. squad players coming through to our team, not being trained and groomed (no, not in that way) for years and then handed out for peanuts to league 1 or 2 teams. A season long loan, maybe, would have been win/win all round.
And yes, I do understand that not all the U18s and U21s will make it - but it just seems that at Brighton, is a definite that they won't.

And the point is that height is a pretty meaningless measure of a player (unless your looking at a 5' 4" centre half!!!).
For the Academy model to work, it has to fund itself. That means not only producing a first team player per season, but also a couple not good enough for us, but good enough to sell on.
