Let's hope they replace like for like.

They said he’s done,
They said he’s sloooow…
But he’s OUR CASE-MIRO,
AND HE RUNS THE SHOW!

Casemiro when you ignore the money has been a great signing for us. He's a leader on and off the pitch, a role model, has great experience and has been a quality player for us. He's come up clutch with key goals and he seems to have really embraced the club and taken us to heart.

He leaves big shoes to fill. I also think that with his departure confirmed, along with what seems to be the certain.

The dog nudged me and I hit send early ?

I was saying with it almost certain that Ugarte will leave this summer as well, then that really just leaves Mainoo as a special-ist midfielder (Bruno and Mount can play there in a pinch but need an all action defensive midfielder alongside them) .

That for me means that we probably need to sign 3 midfielders this summer ideally, unless there is a youth player who is ready to play 15-20 games next season.

In an ideal world we'd sign a physical/defensive box to box player, then a player who is more of a holding/sitting whose an expansive passer, and then an all rounder type player.

An all rounder like Elliot Anderson would be great as he could literally play alongside anyone and that midfield works well. While if as expected Wolves go down then a player like João Gomes as that physical and aggressive box to box player would be great. As for a someone who is more of a holding player with great passing range, we could possibly look at someone like Ruben Neves who will be available on a free in the summer I believe. EPL proven, adds some experience and leadership, his wages would be high though. Other possible options could be Fabian Ruiz, Hayden Hackney, Lamine Camara or Lucien Agoumé as that more sitting passer.
