Chris Hughton: "When you look at the players we have signed, they all have their best years in front of them.
"You have Dan Gosling at 20, Cheik Tiote at 24, James Perch at 24 and Hatem Ben Arfa at 23.
"Sol Campbell is out of that category, of course, but he has been brought in for different reasons, and these young players can benefit from his experience in games and on the training ground.
"But overall we are looking to the future with this group.
"In January we will reassess what we have, and I think I'll get the backing of the owner again like last time if we need to strengthen the team at that stage."
