I think Tanganga, dier ( Bring on the abuse, there is a player in there and rodon will pleasantly surprise conte.
I genuinely think he can get a really good back three out of what we have right now .
I personally also think the midfield and back up striker situation is in far more need of attention..
If we can get at least one in each position there in January I think that sets us up nicely and gives him the season to assess who can and won't make it.
Agree. I bang on about the fact that our midfield is so weird. We have good players on paper, just no one has really stepped up and formed an undroppable partnership. I really think we could use a #10 - no clue on names currently though! Wirtz seems like the next big up and coming CAM.
We see great performances from GLC at Argentina, and he had a great season at Betis before coming here, but he hasn't chipped in with enough chances created, goals, or assists. N'dombele is probably a deep lying playmaker, but due to his work rate and fitness, had to move into a 10 role - where he hasn't provided enough, only in flashes. PEH works his socks off and seems like a leader, but at times I feel he's a jack-of-all-traits midfielder. Skipp has an extremely high ceiling, but I think when paired with PEH they've been able to be solid, but our attack lacks creation.
On paper I always felt one of PEH/Skipp (preferably rotating to keep fresh) and TN with GLC would be enough creativity in a midfield 3, but it just hasn't happened yet. Dele, too, glad he's in shape and working hard, but just not providing the G/A.
