'O'Riley provides something a little bit different'
Speaking on the latest episode of the Albion Unlimited podcast, BBC Radio Sussex's Johnny Cantor and former Brighton striker Warren Aspinall discuss Matt O'Riley's midfielder, who has been the subject of transfer speculation this summer, scored and assisted in Brighton's 2-0 friendly win over Las said: "I would quite like to see him stay. I don't know whether there's room for him in the squad. I think he provides something a little bit different to some of the other players."Aspinall added: "I think we should keep him, I think he's very good."He's got great vision. In that final third, he can open a team up. We saw it last season and the season before when he was playing for Celtic in big games."He's a very talented player, very good with his feet and he scores goals. He can make goals as well."He's a very good talent and I think £25m - if that's the going rate they're asking for - would be a bit cheap."I'd be willing to sell the likes of Facundo Buonanotte before him."Listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds

Dunk? Van Hecke? Baleba? Tell us who Brighton's nailed-on starters are
With so many incomings at Brighton already this summer, along with a number of players returning from loan spells, BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast team believes Fabian Hurzeler could have quite the "headache" when it comes to picking his starting XI for the new are still question marks over a few of the players' futures too, which adds to the difficulties in deciding who will be guaranteed a place come fact, after Wednesday's friendly win over Stoke in Spain, Hurzeler said: "The squad is quite big at the moment but I think they understand their roles. We are one step further than we were, and now we have to make decisions about selling and loaning players."On this week's podcast, BBC Radio Sussex Brighton reporter Johnny Cantor named who he believes is mostly like to make the starting XI at the beginning of the season."I would probably say Bart Verbruggen. I would say initially Lewis Dunk because I think he will start. I won't necessarily say Pervis Estupinan as I'm not sure he will be there or not. I would say Carlos Baleba, Georginio Rutter, Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck."If they are all fit, and bearing in mind Stefanos Tzimas and Charalampos Kostoulas are coming to a new club and environment, that's how I think the attacking end will look."I didn't say Jan Paul van Hecke - because that would mean neither of the two new defensive signings would play - and you have got Adam Webster and Igor Julio sitting on the bench or not involved at all as well. They won't have four centre-backs."Former Albion forward Warren Aspinall added: "I will go with three or four - Mitoma, Verbruggen and Van Hecke. I'm not even putting Carlos Baleba in there."So who do you think are Brighton's guaranteed choices? Do you agree with Johnny and Warren's, or are there other players who should be included?Get in touch with your views hereGet news alerts on your Premier League team
