Blimey, how many new midfielders do we want?
I think the squad overhaul is far from done. It should be a continual process to improve, but if we start to move up the food chain in transfer fees then we will just start to add the occasion players each window.
If any player is an upgrade, get them in.

Having read the Athletic article on Sangare, maybe Florentino is the ball-carrying CDM we're still looking for

Possibly back in for this lad. Our new scout would know all about him.

Defensive midfielder.
In that case that could possibly point toward Yates being sold. From a financial perspective we'd lose a lot of money on Sangare and Yates is pure profit
I think Dominguez will go back to Italy.
€120m release clause
€40m was what Villa were reportedly asked to pay a year back
A season later, in/out the team, not in favour with the new manager, we have a good inside information track on him.
20mil ? Get him in.

I'd prefer to keep Dominguez if possible. He's the best technical midfielder we've got

I hope not.
Quality player who will improve following a rest and good pre-season - he, lke others, was carryinbg an injury for a lot of last season.
I think he is very good technically and also very good on the high press

I think players coming to England and playing in the PL for the first time need a season before they can give consistent top-quality performances.
It is nothing like the football they will have experienced.

Surely it shows a lack of faith in Sangare more than anything if we throw £20m+ at this lad.

Agreed - I am expecting a lot more from Sangare next season as well. We saw glimpses of what he can do, but he needs to step up.
I think that pre-season will be even more important this season - NES had no real opportunity to get his 'message across' last season - because of everything that went off, we were playing with a gun against our head from Xmas onwards - it doesn't matter the reasons - that was the reality.
Fresh season - time to mold the team how he wants them to play, sort the set-piece mess out, a few sensible additions to what we already have.
Bring it on!
I’m pretty sure he was linked with a move back months ago
Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews) has a section with the following headline: ‘The Dominguez hypothesis is back in fashion’. The Rossoneri are looking for a defensive midfielder and there could be a flashback for Nico Dominguez.
The former Bologna player is now at Nottingham Forest, but the Rossoneri management scouted him and were linked with him for many weeks and months before Argentine decided to move to the Premier League.

Surely that’s Danilo? I know he’s positionally naive at times and inconsistent, but only MGW and Murillo at the club are at his level technically I would say. His goal at Brentford got all the plaudits, but I really liked his goal v Wolves - looked a bit lucky with how it fell to him but that was a great touch and instant finish.
Agree. Danilo has incredible technical ability, he’s just very raw. I’m pleased he’s been given a load of game time. Needs to play more advanced.

I saw Dominguez linked with a move back to Italy with Milan looking at him the other month as well, And i wonder if we did get this lad in him and Sangare would work together cause it lets Luis sit and Sangare go forward more like he did for Psv and the height of them both in the center of midfield would be good as well plus Sangare would be helping defensively to

I'd still say Dominguez is the better technician. Danilo is more dynamic and adventurous which catches the eye a bit more but if I wanted someone to get hold of it and pop it around I'm taking Dominguez. That's not to say he's the better overall player on terms of what he brings though.

Jack Burkitt
I've not seen Dominguez pick out a long pass like Danilo. Couple of recent examples are into CHO at Everton for the third clear penalty and into CHO again at Sheffield United when he hit the outside of the post.

I've seen Dominguez throw a few diags in but there's far more to a good a technician than being able to pick out the odd long range pass.

Sauce salad?
I think Danilo is up there with Morgs in terms of technical play. Incredibly talented.
Monkman
Jack Burkitt
Of course, but you specifically said pop it around. Look, I like Dominguez and hope he stays. I think he's better out of possession than Danilo. But Danilo is technically better imo.

Danilo is far better than Dominquez technically. Has a very high ceiling indeed.
Dominguez is an industrious, high pressing menace though & I hope he doesn't go anywhere soon.
