Joel Lynch slams Brighton on Facebook

[Jonathan]

Don't know if anyone has seen this, but my Brighton friend/source told me about it earlier and I thought I'd let you all in on it:

Albion have hit back at Joel Lynch for suggesting in a foul-mouthed attack that nobody at the club cares about him.

The Seagulls insist they have kept a close eye on the young defender’s progress at Nottingham Forest, where he spent most of the season on loan.

Lynch critcised the club during an internet debate started by Jake Robinson, his Albion team-mate.

Robinson posed the question on Facebook – the social networking site – wondering if Brighton will ever get in contact with him?

Lynch, joining in the post-midnight discussion, wrote: “I’ve been at Forest since September. Not one **** has rung me,” before adding ironically: “defo makes me wanna go back.”

Lynch’s remarks have not gone down well with Albion.

Assistant manager Dean White said: “We have monitored Joel’s progress at Nottingham Forest throughout the season, keeping a regular eye on him in matches, as we would with any player of ours on loan at another club.

“Additionally, I have kept in touch and spoken with Joel several times over the last eight months or so, and the last time was only a fortnight ago.

“I think Joel may now regret his comments, which were made in the heat of the moment.”

Lynch was loaned out to Forest by former manager Micky Adams. They are keen to sign him permanently but the 21-year-old still has two years left on his contract with Albion and boss Russell Slade will be discussing his future shortly after steering the Seagulls clear of relegation from League One.

White said: “There is no doubt Joel is a very good player, and I am sure Russell will make contact with him in the next week or so, but for the last eight weeks he has had rather more pressing matters to deal with. In the meantime, Joel needs to decide where his future lies.”

also, if I was Rusell Slade I'd be trying to sign Arron Davies as a part of a Lynch to Forest deal.

Wouldn't suprise me at all actually, as long as we snap Joel up permantly then I'm happy.

That's a pretty good shout.

They have decent wingers already, but Slade knows him well so I guess it could happen.

I've been told they're looking at a couple of 'holding midfielders' (whatever they are) from the Championship. Don't think we have anyone that would drop to that level, do we?

Oh yeh, I didn't even make the Yeovil connection I was just thinking he's out of favour here but could do a job for them. Very likely indeed now I'd say.

Yeah, too right. Most of them are light hearted. But look what happens sometimes.

What the hell is a holding midfielder ?

Paul Anderson's Facebook comment the other week was.....

"Sorry if I upset anyone but why shouldn't I be able to enjoy a night out with my mates?"

I wonder what went on there....

I wonder if he went to a fancy dress party as Ledley King the other night?

or Hitler maybe.

Sounds like people were probably hassling him to sign for us, and he might have just lost it with someone.

Fair enough, really.

If that did happen I'm sure we will start hear stories about it soon, someone coming on here slagging him off.

Or it could have nothing to do with Forest or football. It could have been an ex trying to suck him off all night. They have lives outside of Forest.

But, if it was Forest fans pestering him, it'd be really annoying.

 

[Jonathan]

Don't think it was Forest fans at all...

Oh wait, just realised you meant Anderson.

I'll go back to my cave now...

Intentional trouble making from Lynch, intended so Brighton send him packing to Trentside once and for all?
