We have spent in the attacking areas no doubt. Parking kudus as he’s new . I have concerns about where our goals are coming from. Tel and Odebert are young but not seen anything to suggest they are going to chip in significantly.

Richy is not good enough. Solanke works his socks off for the team but I’d be shocked if he gets close to 20.

Losing Maddison and Kulu injury issues leaves us in my view short in that area of creativity as well. Bit of a concern.

The attacking unit is going to need to be clinical as I don’t see us creating loads of chances every game.

Even when Kulu comes back he will take ages to get up to speed, he always does
So we have to buy a 10 and soon or we will be totally fudged
 
Maybe Frank is not a fan????? There is no other logical reason beyond quiet negotiations of which there are no signs. Can Elliot pass/create as a 10? Can he pick up deep and playmake? Is McAtee the young answer and can we trust him? It is a shame Simmons is so far down the road with the Chelsea deal as that would be a great hijack. Pacqueta seems gettable if we're convinced? Have to say @Gutter Boy 's suggestion of Khannouss is decent IMO, he's gettable, knows the league and is a Frank-type player.

Simon’s is a lot of money
Very good young players but already had a few big injuries IIRC
McAtee is a real transitional player who keeps the ball moving … I like him but worry would he get in a fully fit team
Elliot is an x factor guy for me and will shine wherever he goes next as a player
Eze would be perfect but I don’t get why we haven’t moved (unless all the travelling has been an issue )

Maybe it comes with the cynical nature of fans, but this is def a part I think is never considered. We expect managers to want the same players as us fans want, hell we want them to talk in the press like us too hahah.

But the reality is, from what I think we/I know about Frank, the expectations on roles are majorly different to some as in, you have to work extremely hard and you have to get the yards in. Is Eze that? Does he think Eze is that? Is Eze a name that fans have convinced themselves on so any other signing looks lesser.......... possibly so IMO

I think Eze's age might be a big factor. Going that big a fee for someone with maybe 4 seasons left at the top. No resale value. MGW being 2 years younger perhaps made a difference?

I think any of Khannouss, Elliot or McAtee would be good options.

Simmons i think is probably a bit lightweight and might be best as a winger in the EPL. His injury seems to have taken his fizz out of him a bit

I have to say @Gutter Boy I know it has always been somewhat 'trendy' to counter every opinion you share, but I think these ones have all been pretty much spot on mate.

I'll add that I think we really have to be looking at players with PL experience at this moment. These rumours of Rodrygo refuse to go away (frankly I do not understand), and I increasingly feel an El Khannouss or Elliot is the best way forward.

The players we are loaning out make a really interesting list, as it essentially tells us we will not quiet as the window marches on. All pretty fascinating...
