[Albion] Brighton Depth Chart 25-26

[Mmkay]

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.

Think you've forgotten about Gomez who could take the 'New CM' spot (unless I've just missed him in your list)

Not fully convinced we need a 'New RW' either (assuming March will be back by the start of the season) as Georginio/Gruda/Buonanotte could all cover there in a pinch. If anything a new LW might be the better choice to avoid overplaying Mitoma and risking him getting injured again (under the assumption that Watson may need a season or two to adjust)

That said I think I remember seeing that Gomez played as LW for his previously club occasionally, so he could also provide cover there in a worst case scenario

I think this is pretty good work

But....

It's optimistic. It suggests we'll hang on to all of our "crown jewels", plus others we would rather keep, such as Webster Verbruggen ..... I hope you're right.

I'm not sure about new CM and new RW. Though I understand we've been linked to players in those positions

Diego Gomez unaccounted for!

Good shout, edited!

And agreed on the former.

Thought I had edited to add Gomez but clearly not! I still think one more CM is needed if O'Riley goes.

Fair point on the winger front, I am doubtful we will see much of Solly unfortunately and I much prefer Gruda and Facu as wingers, but yeah, Watson is likely to pick up niggles and Mitoma has obviously had reoccurring injuries. A young player that's equally adept at covering both sides would be nice, or maybe Osman will step up.

But with Coppola signed, and Boscagli seemingly also done, we dont really need much do we? We might need to sign replacements if Mitoma, Baleba, Van Hecke or Pervis left, but currently they havent & so we dont need to make those signings.

You’ve listed 7 CMs, and you think we need another one on top of that?!

Very good list! However, if we remove the unnamed “new” players, there are still 29 or 30 listed. If FH wants to get down to 24- we need to find another 5 to loan or sell. This is why I was somewhat surprised that Lamptey and Milner were extended. When the music stops in late July, there will not be enough seats on the bus for everyone…
