He's got a load of potential though. I reckon somebody else will pay £20 million+ for him and we won't match it. Wouldn't be surprised if he's already got wind of other strong interest from his agent.
I think it's unanimous because Diame's only really been good since January. Lascelles has been crucial in both of our great runs of form.
Most of the others have had half seasons. Easy to forget we were playing lots of Hayden/Merino during that good run in Aug/Sep/Oct.
It's interesting that despite our low goal output, and poor striking options, that we spread the goals out very well this season.

4th most different goalscorers.
I'd still give it to Lascelles, because he's been key all season.
Diame, Shelvey and Perez had phenomenal second halves of the season to push him close. Dubravka and Kenedy have been outstanding for their impact but haven't played enough games.
I am inclined to agree with it. It's about time NL teams started participating in the pyramid. If enough of them go up and establish themselves then the new Evostik West will have a far more Northern feel to it than it currently does.
Yeah I said that about Shaqiri the other week.
In an organised, well coached side Shaqiri is a good option wide right. He plays there for the national team and the issues of workrate and attitude never come to fore as they have done for Stoke.
He is however never a #10. Constantly struggles to play there.
