Jamie Donley

Think the issue with moving Maddison out is we simply can't afford to replace him with another youngster.

We will need to evaluate Donley, Phillips, Vuskovich, Yang, Moore at minimum to add to a side that already has too many players with 3 or less seasons in PL

So do you sell and buy another senior player that could block a path, or do you keep and if the youngsters can replace him in more games, then at least you have that senior head if/when needed.

Difficult to say to be honest, however i am really hoping we bring in a DM and that means we could use Bentacur further forward then he usually gets. On top of that as you say i hope the youngsters will be better after a season of blooding in.

Yep, I could go for some mix of Bentancur, Bergvall & Deki being the midfielders pushed up

DM role you and I deeply agree on, but will depend on next manager, unfortunately I could see the club going for a manager that does 3 at the back (pretty much all of our back line have played, could play in that system), in that model, likely to not have the dedicated DM again.

What a great senior head he has been this season, knuckling down and getting us through games when we needed it.
 
He’s not a striker. Watched him about 15 times this season. He wants the play in front of him. A natural 10 I would say.

What I've seen is he's behind striker, tends to drift to either side (a lot of his assists come from what looks like classic wing positions), got a good pass on him, can be the guy following in on the play.
