Poyet keen to avoid contract issues

Brighton manager Gus Poyet is determined to avoid a repeat of the contract wrangles of last season. Poyet fell out with Nicky Forster over a new deal during the previous campaign and the veteran striker ended up moving to Brentford. The Uruguayan told The Argus: "We have started discussing things already, without talking directly to the players yet. "In January I will probably start talking to the players on a very individual basis, then you need to manage it. I hope we can manage it very well. I am sure there won't be any problems or issues like last year."
