I see we've been linked with Thomas Delaney. Plenty of experience and could be the DM solution for us for the next couple of seasons. He'll be 30 in 10 days but as mentioned bags of experience.
Anyone know much about him?

Yes Delaney’s name is doing the rounds. I can see some sense in the move as a 2-3 year plan. Much like Ings, he could help us achieve that next step up as a regular top 6-8 side. However, I think at least one, probably two, outgoings will need to be in the barrel to help balance up the side.

I believe we still need to commit a 25 man squad at some point and we are, arguably 3 over that. I have included Sinasola as 3rd keeper, although Smith may be tempted into the wider market should Villa agree to release Martinez (and Buendia) for international duty shortly. I note some clubs are refusing releases.

Looks like Delaney is going to Sevilla.

Need to make sure we don’t get dragged into bidding for players hyped up by their agents who can’t step into battle from day one
Craig S has made a good observation that the young boys we have are top class, are being encouraged by the older players, are brave and and understand the demands of the top flight
Be interesting to see how we introduce them over the year….
