Available for around £7m according to Alan Nixon (which I know will split opinion).
If Clarke is now beyond the budget he would seem to be a decent option. Improved under McKenna's coaching towards the end of the season when the pace of games slowed down and he had more time on the training ground. |  |

Delap will share the up front role with Broja, particularly whilst Hirst is out. Hutchinson and Burns (when fit) on the right, Sarmiento... or another new signing... and Broadhead (when fit) the left, Szmodics and Chaplin the number ten slot. |
Delap is Burns long term replacement imo. |  | | |

Agreed, £7m for a player who is unlikely to start much doesn't seem a good use of resources. Yes he is a player who might improve with time but we also have plenty of wide/attacking players. |
This is the type of deal I would take a gamble on if we were a bit more established and every penny didn’t count towards survival. He gave us some great moments, but I think he still has a few things to prove at the level below.
I wouldn’t be disappointed to see him back if there’s room for him, but another year at the top end of the championship would probably best for his development IMO. Go and smash the league and double your value, Jez! |  | | |

If he'd had the whole season under McKenna he'd be on the same level as Hutchinson. I thought his improvement was visible the longer we had him, and I loved the fact that such a flair player was not afraid to put in a shift defensively. |
Not a chance he would be like Hutchinson not and never will be at his level. Decent player but McKenna must think he can get better same as why we never kept Moore. | | | |

Couldn't disagree more |
So if they were to have a race who would win?
If they were to have a race with the ball dribbling who would win?
And you think that Sarmiento can match Omari’s ability to get around the pitch who McKenna has said has the capability to be one of the best pressers he’s seen? | | | |

In fairness, there's a reason why we had to pay £20 for Hutchinson and may get Sarmiento for £7m. | |

Was a great sub when he was here. But I can’t say anymore than that. Was a contributor to some key moments in our recent history and I wouldn’t be adverse to him being here but to compare him to Omari I just don’t see that currently even if I think McKenna would improve him. | | | |

I love Jeremy Sarmiento, and he will also be a bit of a hero for all of us im sure.
But I can't say that I ever watched him and thought he was a premier league player (yet). At no point was he a regular starter for us and when he did start, he greatly underwhelmed. I do think towards the end of his loan he used his time on the pitch much better. Cov away stands out where he came on and made an impact. But I just dont think that signing does much for us. need a far bigger upgrade in that left sided position imo.
Think Jezza needs a loan where he is playing regular football, starting week in week out. [Post edited 20 Aug 2024 22:00]

If he’s available at that price, and we aren’t in for him then it’s either
a) Brighton aren’t happy with McKenna situation still and don’t want to deal with us
b) We’ve had him in the building and don’t think he’s either good enough, potentially good enough or isn’t the right fit/character
I really, really hope we are in for him though - I’d sign him in a heartbeat but if we don’t it’ll most likely be because we don’t want to as much as that will sadden me! |  |

I think that the finishers are fundamental to the way we have succeeded. It is therefore a bit false to talk of players not starting needing to be cheap. | | | |

I think your second point might be just about right….
I just checked back and he only started four league games for us which across half a season (with no injuries) suggests McKenna either wanted more from him or didn’t trust him to start games. That could change as he develops of course, but £7m spent and using up a squad place is still a big luxury.
If we were to sell say Broadhead for 2-3m then it might be different, but I don’t see that happening.
He’ll always be a cult hero for that goal against Southampton, but other than that his moments of magic weren’t exactly in abundance.
Worth remembering that when we signed him the loan supposedly included a second year clause if we went up, which we don’t seem to have triggered…. |  | | |

Love him to head back to PR.
However....
Broady
Szmody
Chappers
Hutch
Delay
Burns
Who loses out? |
Broady 100%.
When fit and on it. Wonderful player. But rare to see unfortunately. |  |

Or. His dad really wants him playing week in week out football and is having a say in his career. He did seem very vocal. | |

I don't think my opinion is that out there tbh. Hutch was not a regular for the first half of the season but by the end was intergral to the team and first name on the team sheet.
Sarmiento imo was getting better the longer he was with us. Would love to have had him for a whole season under McKenna.
All about opinions though, definitely mixed views on Jeremy for sure. | | | |

On the other hand, it could be said that spending £7 million on a regular finisher, and one with the knack of scoring some important goals, is something of a bargain. | | | |

You’d wonder how much Leicester’s Mavididi would cost? Fantastic player. He tore many teams apart down that left side last season. |  | | |

It's not the most outrageous suggestion.
If in pre season 2023 you'd have suggested in a year's time we'd be in the PL and spending £20m on the young lad we'd just loaned from Chelsea's academy, you'd be reading similar 'bonkers' comments. |  |

| Sheff Utd and Burnley after Sarmiento on 09:01 - Aug 21 with 1335 views | norfsufblue |
He was a wonderful piece of last years jigsaw, it would be nice if he was here but if truth be known we probably all just want to sing that song again!.... im afraid we are shopping in Waitrose now , not the Tesco own label aisle. |  | | |

Loved him as a bit of a cult hero and that goal, but let’s be honest he struggled to work his way in to the starting line up and we need people who will improve the starting 11. Best for everyone to go our seperate ways |
So did Hutchinson over the first half of the Season, a similar period of time. Sarmiento was only getting better, particularly towards the end and your hardly likely to lose much at that price. | | | |
| Sheff Utd and Burnley after Sarmiento on 09:49 - Aug 21 with 1136 views | whymark4lazio0 |
He has many special qualities- balance, energy, speed and fast feet. I suspect as he gains more experience he'll learn to drift into the box and embarrass centre-backs and become a very useful goalscorer. Having said that, I trust McKenna's judgement more than my gut feeling, if KM doesn't think he's worth £7m then he probably isn't. | |

| Sheff Utd and Burnley after Sarmiento on 09:53 - Aug 21 with 1119 views | baxterbasics |
Love him but he wasn't even a starter last season, he's a little way from the finished article.
Another season in the Championship is probably right for him, I hope he shines.
Of course if KM decides differently, I will defer to his superior knowledge! |  |
