Brighton went on a selling spree and I am still baffled. But you learn that Bloom knows best so despite getting rid of a heap of loved players (with lots of potential), we can only assume there’s a whole load of (algorithm-driven) method to the madness. Come on you Seagulls!

@Sam You mean Michael Olise the French midfielder who started his youth career at Arsenal, spent 7 years at Chelsea, made his senior debut for Reading, broke through at Palace and is now playing for Bayern Munich?

BBC Sport Senior football correspondentEngland boss Thomas Tuchel is set to call up Ruben Loftus-Cheek to his squad for 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
The AC Milan midfielder has 10 England caps, with the last of those coming when he came on as a substitute in a win against the United States in November 2018.
Tuchel is familiar with Loftus-Cheek having managed the 29-year-old during his stint as Chelsea manager.
Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton is in the England squad but has emerged as a doubt having picked up a groin injury in his side's 3-0 win at Aston Villa on Sunday.
England host Andorra on Saturday, 6 September before a a game away in Serbia on Tuesday, 9 September.

Was Donnarumma's form on the slide at PSG?published at 11:36 British Summer Time
Jordan Butler and Tom McCoy
BBC Sport
Image source, Getty ImagesGianluigi Donnarumma is widely regarded as one of the world’s best shot-stoppers so his lowly save percentage of 66.2% in Ligue 1 last term is a surprise.
He kept just four clean sheets in 24 league starts and conceded almost four goals more than he should have, according to Opta’s Expected Goals on Target model.
The Italian posted far better numbers in previous seasons and also during PSG's successful Champions League campaign, when he kept out more than 70% of shots faced.
He is also truly formidable when facing penalties, saving almost one in four spot-kicks over his career.
The 6ft 5in tall Italian has exceptional reach and often uses his frame to dominate one-on-one situations.
He is not as bad on the ball as some critics would suggest but nonetheless his signing does represent an intriguing change of approach for Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
Why Ederson made the Premier League top 10published at 11:33 British Summer Time
Ederson's ability to spray a long-range pass - leading to seven assists in the Premier League, a record for a goalkeeper - was a topic that Gary Lineker, Ian Wright and Alan Shearer touched upon when explaining why the Brazilian was one of the Premier League's top 10 goalkeepers of all time.

Does Donnarumma to Manchester City make sense?published at 11:28 British Summer Time
Jordan Butler and Tom McCoy
BBC Sport journalistsManchester City today completed a £26m deal with Paris St-Germain to sign goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who will replace Fenerbahce-bound Ederson.
The 26-year-old played a key role as PSG won the Champions League last season, but rather than earning a new contract off the back of those feats, he instead became surplus to requirements.
It was a ruthless decision based partly on finances but also concerns about the Italian’s ability with the ball at his feet. Lucas Chevalier was signed from Lille last month and immediately installed as first choice, with PSG head coach Luis Enrique explaining he was looking for a “different type” of goalkeeper to “improve the team”.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola also requires his goalkeepers to be brave on the ball and initiate attacks. Donnarumma is usually tidy enough when distributing the ball short. His passing accuracy in the French top flight last season was 85.4%, only fractionally below Ederson’s figure of 86.3%, and superior to that of Stefan Ortega and James Trafford.
But when it comes to long passes, Ederson has a clear edge. The Brazilian was successful with 57.9% of passes he hit long in his final Premier League campaign, a notably better record than Donnarumma (44.6%), Ortega (43.9%) or Trafford (31.8%).

Reply to Rich on City doing ‘nothing’ for English talent…please tell that to *ahem*: Foden, Lewis, O’Reily, Palmer, Lavia, Rodgers, Harwood-Bellis, Sancho, Harrison, McAtee, Doyle... All featured in the Premier League last season. And that’s off the top of my head as I lie on a sunbed!
James
Hmm...Man City do nothing for young British players apparently? Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, Morgan Rogers, Brahim Diaz, Michael Olise, Jadon Sancho all graduated from the academy. So too did Phil Foden, Rico Lewis and Nico O'Reilly. Outrageous, ignorant comment. No team has done MORE in the last 10 years.
Sam
In the last few years - Foden, Lewis, O Reilly, Palmer, Rogers, Sancho, Gittens, Doyle, Harwood-Bellis, McAtee, Trafford...Man City do nothing for British footballers.

I'll miss Ederson massively. His contribution to City cannot be overstated. I think this was the right time for him to go, confidence has waned in him a bit and we're working on a rebuild right now. KDB was the start of the changes, I wish them nothing but happiness.

BBC Sport reporterHow Manchester City's goalkeeping situation pans out will be a matter for future debate, but there is no mistaking the affection the club's fans hold for former number one Ederson on a day that signalled the end of his all-conquering eight-year stay at the club...
'Decision to do with profile of keeper my team needs'published at 11:01 British Summer Time
Image source, Getty ImagesThat someone referred to by Gianluigi Donnarumma seems to have been Paris St-Germain manager Luis Enrique, who said he was "100% responsible" for the Italy goalkeeper's absence from the Uefa Super Cup squad.
The Italy international played no part in PSG's penalty shootout victory over Tottenham Hotspur on August 13 with new signing Lucas Chevalier immediately getting the nod.
"Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, no doubt, and even better as a person," Enrique told Sky Italy.
"But this is the life of high-level footballers. I am 100% responsible for this difficult decision.
"If it were easy, anyone would do it; these decisions have to do with the profile of the goalkeeper that my team needs."
'Someone has decided I can no longer be part of the group'published at 10:55 British Summer Time
Image source, Getty ImagesFollowing his omission from Paris St-Germain's Uefa Super Cup squad in August, Gianluigi Donnarumma released a statement via his social media profiles.
It read: "From my first day I arrived, I gave everything - on and off the pitch - to earn my place and defend the goal of Paris St-Germain.
"Unfortunately, someone has decided that I can no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team's success. I am disappointed and disheartened.
"I hope to have the opportunity to look the fans at the Parc des Princes in the eyes one more time and say goodbye as it should be done.
"If that doesn't happen, I want you to know that your support and affection mean the world to me and I will never forget it. I will always carry with me the memory of all the emotions, the magical nights and of you, who made me feel at home.
"To my team-mates - my second family - thank you for every battle, every laugh, every moment we shared. You will always be my brothers.
"Playing for this club and living in this city has been an immense honour. Thank you, Paris."
