Luiz Suarez (not that one) from the same league (Almeria) has scored double his figure and is only 26. He's also had a more prolific scoring career compared to your one season wonder. 

Strange comment. Suarez is primarily an out and out striker and is actually 27. Yeremay is only 22. At the same age he hadn't made anywhere near the impact Yeremay has this year.

They've just come back up from the third tier. Were down there several years, like Sunderland. 

And that will be the only time anyone compares Sunderland as an equal to Galicia

😂 I thought something similar as I was writing that.

What's more shocking - Deportivo being good actually being 30 years ago or Tomori being 27?

[vexred]

If we could get Tomori for £20M he'd be a good signing. Still convinced Guehi will end up at Liverpool this summer.

I’d avoid; still super quick but hasn’t been good since 2022. Massive fall-off.

[Menace]

His fall off has been quite something. Seems we really want a Milan defender by the sounds of it

Or Milan really want us to sign a Milan defender.

These links have been around for a few years to be fair, I reckon it's true

I do think the Thiaw ones are true, don’t think the Tomori ones will be given his age.

Feels like we are on the cusp of making that difficult to make next step; from good Premiership team competing for top four and cups. To being able to realistically compete for any competition we enter. In current climate, particularly, I wonder whether to make that step as well as a fair bit of luck in getting  players who can be truly great we also have to risk selling really good players. 

This is a risk not just because all that glitters does not turn out to be gold, but also because it unsettles the team dynamic and can break up the relationships which makes us able to do what we have with what we have. 
 

All of that is a preamble after watching Wharton last night and imagining a midfield with him Bruno and Tonali. Wharton will only get better but already offers the rare combination of creativity/craft (picks such a beautiful pass) and energy/competitiveness. I love Joelinton but couldn’t see us stumping up for Wharton whilst we still have him. If we would even consider going back to the money grabbing Glass Hovel at all, given the debacle over Guehi. 
 

Appreciate it isn’t a priority position but he is the kind of player who is a joy to watch. Losing Andy Cole gave way to Sir Les and then Shearer (as well as Gillespie and that Barca game). Feels like some difficult decisions may need to be made whilst we can get good money for our good players. Joelinton will be 29 next season, Wharton still 21. Just a thought.

I'm thinking a CM is a priority position, and will allow us to push us on significantly. We really need 4 high level CM's for next season, Europe and domestic cups is 60+ games 

 

Unsure whether I'd like someone in the similar mould to Joelinton, who still offers the defensive contribution like an Ederson/Baleba, or an attacking midfielder who gives us a new dimension, but still having the physicality we like as a team, such as Cunha 

 

But it's also hard to see us go big here with all the other gaps we need to fill (RW, RCB, GK, FB if target / trips go, ST if Wilson goes and Osula still isn't played etc) 

[The College Dropout]

CM is a major priority for me. You can get a higher calibre CM than striker because they will play more minutes and imo is a more important position.  

[STM]

This is why I wanted Norgaard from Brentford on a free but he signed a new contract with them. He'd have been ideal to slot in for Tonali or Bruno and push Tonali forward when required.

 

Id like to think we have some smart ideas in this area.

 

I don't think we will sign a CM until Longstaff is gone, or Willock.

Feels like it’s time to consider it because his transfer value is only going to depreciate and maintaining that level of energy is going to get harder the older he gets

Cant go into a big European campaign with what we have at CM.

Or RW, or GK, or lack of 2nd striker.

 

There's a lot of work to do.

I agree but at the same time, we probably can't bring in a CM without shifting one.

 

I think shifting Longstaff will be easy, there will be a few lower PL sides will take him. 

 

I don't see us going with big bucks for a player like we did with Tonali though. I think we need to box smart. 

[joeyt]

Sign a new centre back and put Schar in defensive mid 

[STM]

We all have our own view but my priorities would be

 

RCB

RW (preferably who can play up front too)

CM

GK

..

 

 

Then some more defensive cover, someone who is versatile would be ideal.

 

[r0cafella]

Mitchell will have to work Miracles to fill all the holes for next season
