'We didn't envisage spending as much'

Brighton owner Tony Bloom spoke to the Albion Unlimited podcast about Brighton's busy summer transfer window:

"At the start of the window, we knew there was going to be quite a few incomings and changes. We probably didn't envisage quite as much, but I think the circumstances have allowed for this this. Some of the players who perhaps weren't available to us in the past became available.

"In the past two or three years, we may have lost some key players and not been able to replace them straight away, but this season we've managed to bring in lots of first-team players and invested in young players.

"We probably won't see something like this in the next two or three windows. If we lose key players in the future, hopefully we will have younger players coming through who have a great chance of making the first team."
