You lost me at Adingra being a super sub.

Who will this year's Ayari be? I'm thinking Cozier-Duberry, if only because of the similarity with Ayari's experiences on loan at Blackburn. Minteh and Solly are ahead of him in theory but Wieffer and Milner were ahead of Ayari. Maybe he too just needs a chance and will run with it if it comes along.
For me, the outgoings have to be Adingra, Enciso, Sarmiento, Cashin (sorry kid), Igor, Joao Pedro and Pervis. All good-to-great players who should attract big fees but all flawed in one way or another. And these days, incredible as it still feels to say it, we are looking for top-ten-quality players.

Khadra and Moran also had fairly crap loans at Blackburn; it didn't turn them into Brighton first team players! (Van Hecke also went to Blackburn, but he had a good loan there!)
Plus quite a few loanees returning (or rather, not returning) - and it wouldn't surprise me if one or two of last summer's bulk buying went too, O'Riley likely the first one on the list.

I think this summer will feel different in the sense that more experienced players will leave and more players will leave for reasonable money.
I'm sure we will have our normal flood of young talent going on loan to Europe or down the leagues. I just think we'll have more "seen a lot of them, they are very decent, but not quite's" leaving.

He prefers to be called Georgino- and plays several positions- most effectively as a second striker or behind Welbeck as our 10… with Mitoma and Minteh on the wings.

Aren't we getting a bit light on HG players?

Hinsh is just not a right back, was painful seeing him forced to play out there this season when (perhaps inevitably) lamps and veltman were out. Getting a new right back is the main thing for me.

Agree about Hinsh. His versatility is great, but I think it's time for him to forge his career in his best position, in the centre of the park

Don't think it's quite the issue for us as it was. You can name a squad of 25 but only 17 non-HGPs. All of these are beyond an age limit of 21ish and, as we have such a young squad, we'll not be struggling to name enough players to hurdle this requirement.
I might have the precise details wrong and, if so, other posters can correct this.

Agree on Hinshelwood being out of position at RB. But wonder if FH concurs. When we are not decimated by injuries, he seems to favor Ayari/Gomez paired with Baleba/Weiffer. If Veltman is healthy, moving Hinsh to midfield is ideal. Abundance

I doubt we'll end up with this once the window has closed but currently...
Imagine Offiah will be sold, Tasker might well be loaned out. Estupinan must be a maybe as a departure.
Lamptey, Veltman, Hinshelwood, Estupinan, Tasker, Milner, Offiah, and Kadioglu are either full backs, or can play full back. .
And Wieffer (EDIT)

FULL at FULL BACKOh, and Boscagli too
He is not a winger at all though. More of a defensive wide midfielder. Unless we dramatically change how we play, he won't be getting minutes instead of a Mitoma or Minteh type.
His defensive stats are fabulous, and I think he's probably going to end up being the right-side of the pivot in central midfield for us if we play the 4-2-3-1 we did last season. Conversely, there is some chat about Hurzeler maybe going back to the 3-4-3 he favoured at St. Pauli with all the additional centre-backs coming through the door. If we did that, he'd be a very good choice as a wide defensive midfielder on the right (or left).

I agree with this and I agree with your instinct to urge caution at the positional data of players when they play for clubs with a completely different set up.
My take is that if Yalcoulye comes in, which i'm 50/50 on, he's competing with Baleba (and Weiffer) for a central midfield slot which they currently occupy.
It's worth remembering that there's AFCON next season from mid December to mid January, so we may be able to have a larger squad without anyone getting too upset at the lack of game time next year
Of those you've listed Baleba, Lamptey, Minteh, Adingra (if he isn't sold/loaned), Yalcouye and Osman could all miss a month+ of the busiest part of the season, even ignoring the fact that a lot of players seem to struggle for form for a bit when returning from AFCON
Most likely scenario I think, pretty heavy on the outs but the squad is so bloated at the moment, we probably only need three or four to replace them.
