Murray is absolutely good enough, he just needs a slightly different role now.
TSB
Captain Hindsight
AJ
Locadia
Duffy
Knockaert
All gone asap.
Suspect Balogun will also depart.

Probably yes, but only as a result of a major injury!
Impossible to know without knowing what the transfer kitty is / what offers we get / which current players are pushing for moves.
But, that nothwithstanding...
If the stories regarding a group of players being regularly unprofessional have major substance, then that needs to be stamped out. People closer to them will have a good idea who the ringleaders are. If its one player leading the others astray he needs to go. If its a group they can all go, subject to acceptable bids.

Keep almost everyone. Ditch Locadia. Accept any mega offers for Duffy, Dunk etc.
Ah yes, and there's a possible problem.

If Ajax want Propper and will pay decent money, I for one wouldn't stand in his way.

This is a pragmatic view from Rosenior https://www.brightonandhoveindepend...peaks-about-chris-hughton-s-sacking-1-8925921
Rosenior said: "First and foremost I can only say good things about Chris Hughton. As a manager he's been outstanding wherever he's been and as a person he's had the biggest influence on me in terms of how to conduct yourself as a professional - whether that's as a player, a coach or a manager.
"Whatever he does next he'll be a success.
"In terms of what happened today, it was a sad day for the club and a sad day for the chairman to have to make the decision.
"It was a sad day for the staff. For four years there was an unbelievable relationship between everyone at the football club.
"Over the last six months there's been a staleness in performance and we've only won three in 23. It's a very difficult stage for the football club - a football club that has been in the Premier League for two years and now the natural question is 'what's next?'.

Conversely I'd be devastated if we got a manager like Potter in, and the one player who stood to flourish most in the new system, had just left.

By all accounts Ajax are sitting on an absolute fortune (£250m already) from the players they have sold - only likely to be boosted further with De Jong off to Barca for £75m, and whatever De Ligt goes for, probably similar. No top player wants to play in the Eredivisie, they can't spend it! So they would probably give Propper whatever he wanted to go back.

And those words on Sky Sports' The Debate were followed by Dion Dublin and Emma Hayes speaking from positions of utter ignorance - the same old "Who do Brighton think they are?" stuff that has been trotted out over the past 24 hours from people who haven't seen a single second of any of our games.

Yep and not forgetting the criticism he got from the MOTD pundits. Sad decision to have to make but we weren't rated by them and we would have been made relegation favourites by everyone next season anyway.
We even ended up being the one team that was refereed to as a team that would not be missed so all these things add up towards having to make a decision. Bloom isn't a charity for nice people and when people say we are in our place and should be grateful as a club, it raises a challenge and he is making a statement that we do actually want to compete in the Prem.

The equation changes for me with the new manager situation. Whoever he is, he will want his own players to implement his ideas.
Whilst it's impossible to be definitive on this until we know who is appointed, I think he will start by planning
1. who he will want in his starting 11 from existing players
2. then recruit for the 'missing' starters
3. then decide who will make the squad and by definition who he will move on.
For 1. my choice would be only
Ryan
Duffy
Dunk
Bernardo
Bissouma
March
so recruit 5.
All the while juggling the available budget.
We've progressed the last few years by evolution: this summer will be different. There's not much point recruiting squad players no better than the ones we have.

To be fair, they have an alternative view from another journalist Daniel Storey yesterday.
