Can't see how we realistically fit another AM into the squad.

Not that I think we should sign Zaha but we are going for Malcom regardless, could you ever see a scenario where we may line up with 5 attackers on the pitch like City for example because potentially we could have

Eriksen
Lucas
Son
Dele
Lamela
Malcom

As our forwards next season

Still don't see why it's seen as such a priority by many.

The only way we should do it imo would be to upgrade on Lamela. But it'd be very hard to find a player that offers what he does and is also an all round better player.

Cant believe I'm even suggesting this but considering the home grown situation we could do a lot worse then signing ben foster on a 2 year deal.. Experienced home grown prem keeper who will leave wesr brom
The guy is a tosser and I wouldn't want him anywhere near this club. He can sit on a bench and earn a living somewhere else.

Played his youth football at the team I currently play for (in the adult side..) and he's a hero there. I keep telling them he's a time wasting arsewipe but they won't listen

Difficult to describe him, because I can't think of anyone similar. But he's the complete forward. Does well every offensive aspect of the game. Can score with his right, left, headers, penalties, can assist, can play counterattack, can play as a playmaker. He does everything well. 99% he will go to the World Cup with Higuain and Aguero, leaving players like Icardi out.
He did this yesterday

Poch might use that line up next August as we know Kane doesn’t score during that month. :D

However your use of stats re: Sessegnon is faulty for the reason you eventually recognize. Scoring in the championship is not the same as scoring in ligue 1 or the bundesliga. Sessegnon will not hit those figures in the premier league - at least not for a few seasons.

Bar a handful of teams from each league, it pretty much is.

We play with 3 AMs usually and in the modern game you need 2 good players for every position, so it's not crazy to suggest we'd have Sonny, Eriksen, Lamela, Dele, Moura and another in the squad

Given injuries and tiredness over 60-odd games in a season, it would allow us to always field 3 very good AMs in every game

To be honest, top English clubs are so rich now, and their squads so good, it's probably a requirement rather than a luxury
