It also wasn't lost on me how Iraola converted Kluivert into a massively effective number 10. Doesn't play the role anywhere near like we see from Madds but is extremely effective with his pace and skill. I wouldn't call him a schemer like we think we need, and Frank had with Damsgaard.

Kluivert had 12 goals and 6 assists in the PL. WhoScored has him as weak at passing, crossing and defensive contribution. He is good at dribbling and finishing according to them.

It's cases like these that makes you wonder whether there is another way under Frank. Are we looking in the right place as we transition to a system more resembling a 4-2-3-1.

How many of his goals were pens..didn’t he score 3 in one game
I like him but think your going down a differnt direction and I know you haven’t said that what we need
I think we will end up with a reverse Christmas tree 4-1-2-3 myself

If nobody is suitable could see palhinha, bergvall and bentancur in the middle. Sarr swapping to keep things fresh. Think we'd still need another anyway though.

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 )

Any one of those please. We need to improve the midfield, then get a decent striker.

Linked again with Conor Gallagher. Can you imagine... a team full of destroyers and pitbulls. We might have 100% possession but zero idea what to do once we have it!

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.

Think we might score a fair bit from set pieces but generally agree.
