'Settled team selection' - fans on Brighton's guaranteed starters
We asked for your views on who Brighton's nailed-on starters should be next season after boss Fabian Hurzeler explained "we have to make decisions about selling and loaning players".You can read his comments below this post but here are some of your views on who will be a sure starter for the Seagulls:Kynan: Nailed-on starters are Bart Verbruggen, Jan Paul van Hecke, Carlos Baleba, Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter. Everyone else is a rotation option with multiple players in each Verbruggen, Van Hecke, Baleba, Mitoma, Minteh and Danny Welbeck. They will all start the first game. Every other place is up for You have to start some of the new signings. Pointless paying money and not playing them. Verbruggen definitely. Not sure you can leave Van Hecke out - and then start Diego Coppola alongside him. Mitoma, Rutter, Yasin Ayari, Welbeck, Brajan Gruda and Baleba have to start. Players are not going to be happy not playing - especially Matt O'Riley, Mats Wieffer and Tom Watson, who will think it would have been better staying with Sunderland, where he would play regularly. I don't envy Hurzeler trying to select his team. One thing we need this season is a settled team A 3-4-3 formation with Verbruggen in goal. This would suit the current players and manager. We should play with a back three of Van Hecke, Lewis Dunk and Olivier Boscagli; a midfield of Diego Gomez, Baleba, Ayari and Solly March; and three-pronged attack of Mitoma, Welbeck and Rutter.

FSG reach agreement for mega £200m deal
This was a title to represent FSG's ambitions to create a multi-club football in the game that would ultimately benefit Liverpool in terms of recruitment. Fast forward over a year since Edwards' return and FSG haven't bought their football club just yet. But they seem to be closing in on it. Advertisement According to a recent report from TBR Football, FSG have identified Getafe as the perfect acquisition and they have already entered talks. In fact the site claims that some sources have even suggested that FSG have struck an 'agreement in principle' to buy the Spanish club. The report also claims that the deal would be worth around £200m and it would massively impact Liverpool when it comes to the club's ability to recruit players. This much is definitely true. We've seen over the last few years how much Brighton have benefited from the multiple club model. So many of their current stars like Kaoru Mitoma or Simon Adingra spent time at Union SG, which is also part-owned by Tony Bloom. Advertisement The same applies to Chelsea, who have been able to attract a plethora of talent to their BlueCo owned Strasbourg. Meanwhile, Red Bull clubs like RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg have a regular production line of talent going back and forth between the two sides. A great example of that is Dominik Szoboszlai. With Getafe if the deal is ultimately agreed, FSG's ambitions will be to do the same. They will want to recruit the best talent, develop them in Spain and ultimately create a new pathway to Liverpool, while also making sure Getafe continue to be successful and reach new heights.
