He flew to Gatwick from Spain on Friday - he was on my son's flight.

[Albion] Sarmiento

Cardiff would be a decent opportunity to show what he can do. Look at what going to Coventry did for Gykores!

I wouldn't fly anywhere if Cardiff are organising the flight.

Went to the Copa America with Ecuador so makes sense he’s a bit later reporting back for pre season.
I’m starting to believe that he’ll make the squad.
Goal scoring is an absolutely critical skill to have and Jeremy has being scoring for us and his country. Whilst he is very similar to Enciso, I think Buonanotte takes a development loan in order to find a place for Sarmiento in the attacking midfield/winger positions.

Agree. He just has a bit of x factor.
I don't really care if he's had mixed loan spells. When I've seen him for us he's mostly been very good. I think he has done enough on tour to play himself into the starting line up at Goodison. Then we'll see.
I think he's one of those who's career success will be determined by whether he can keep himself free from injury.

Yup. Looks the part. Especially when given room to roam
Although I wouldn’t say it’s him or Bounanotte. I think in squad terms there’s room for both

Yes, it's a funny thing with loan spells - I thought Ayari (waste of space according to Coventry fans, and hardly any better than the woeful Moran at Blackburn) looked quite sharp, and Jensen Weir (weak, ineffective, never up to League1 standard according to Port Vale) seemed comfortable enough as a midfielder playing at CB!

I think it’s a bit harsh to describe Moran at Blackburn as woeful. True he was better in the first half of the season and it seemed like the managerial change didn’t help him. I agree with your main point though which I took as being no necessary congruence between loan spells and latent talent.

Assumed he'd be off but he's surely played himself into contention

All of those boys vying for the attacking midfield slots, two of the main things that will separate them is how good they are in the press and how good they are in front of goal. They are all much of muchness in everything they do (bar Pedro’s dribbling and Enciso’s ball striking). Can’t help but feel if one of them stands out as being extremely intelligent in Hurzeler’s out of possession press then they will find game time.
I didn't. Blackburn fans on their fans forum did.
Don't forget Norwich fans completely dismissing Gilmour as absolutely useless and nowhere near up to Championship standard.
Fair point. Not the obvious game-changer for kick and rush and clog I guess.

The line at goodison won’t be the first 11 choice for season.
Still a few tweaks from whatever that goodison team will be to a settled 11.
Not sure JS will be in the 11 when JE is back from olympics.
His loan spells look like he has grown up a lot and would defo be in squad for this season

I can’t see him in the squad next year if, being 22, he’s now old enough to take one of the 25 spots, or does the fact that was still 21 on 1st Jan 2024 mean he’s still classed as U21?
My reasoning is that he didn’tbecome a starter at either of his Championship loans, and in the end got fewer league minutes in a 46 match league season than Buenanotte got with us in 38 PL matches.

Sarmiento would need to be named in the PL squad. The cut off for U21 is players born on or after Jan 1st 2003.
I think any decision on if he makes the squad or is loaned/sold will primarily be based on what he’s done over the summer and if Fabian thinks he’s going to a useful addition to the squad. What he did at West Brom and Ipswich will be a lot less relevant. His contributions in both friendlies won’t have done his chances of being here next season any harm.
