Gone to Vitesse in Holland on a permanent deal. Slightly surprising but possibly saw his route to the first team being blocked by Karbo. Undisclosed terms as usual. We are having a clear out.

Good luck to the guy
Had high hopes for him

Route also blocked by Lamptey & Veltman.
Hopefully this is a sign that the club will not look at offers for Lamptey for a fair few seasons now, especially if we get £100m worth of Biss/White cash.
Agree that Karbownik is seen more of a right sided player than left.

So we STILL need a LB/LWB !

Didn't seem to get much game time here - wasn't he injured for a while? Still, he's got a contract elsewhere, so he can pursue a carrer as a professional footballer, which ain't a bad thing. Good luck to him.
Not quite up to it. If we’d been in a lower division he’d have probably made it.

Don't want £100m in cash. Keep Biss and White - for one more (Albion-breakthrough) season.

Recently described by Danny Cashman as the fastest player he's ever played or trained with, now considering that would include Lamptey that is quite something! He did go on to say he wished he would use it more, so maybe confidence issues?
Good luck to the lady anyway

This, and who knows, if he impresses in Arnhem, then it isn't too latge to raise his ambitions higher again.

I thought Yapi might make it through, but this looks like a good deal all round. I know we just don't, but I"d love to have some indication of the undisclosed fee, just to feel proud of how we are doing and be pleased for Tony when the club gets a bit of payback, much like the reported (yet undisclosed) fee of £750k for Gyokeres.

It was a little surprising to me that Yapi never really got a chance. He often shone for the U23s, but when Lamptey arrived (who is also younger than Yapi) and immediately hit the first team, maybe it was a sign of the end for Romaric.
The kid is absolutely rapid and I would expect him to do well in Holland.

The few times I saw him I was very impressed.
Sad to see him go but if he's been told he has more chance of a first team position in another club you can't blame him for leaving.

Some of them don't even get here at all, or hardly do!

This report would seem to suggest that the transfer was of the free variety - Overgang Yapi van Brighton naar Vitesse rond: Fransman tekent voor drie jaar

This is certainly one we could do with a % sell on for.

Shame - thought he looked good. Lightening quick. But if we’re letting him go because we have better players coming through, so be it.
