Pick up the all deep and drive through the space - exactly that . Haven't had a player capable of doing that since magnificent Moussa . Guess that was what we hoped we'd get with Ndombellend.

I think we do need them getting forward. Well, not "forward", but just running to be an extra man in possession, which enables the next runner and next extra man to go forward, until theoretically, we have a man with an open shot or run at goal. Sheffield United under Farke, with far inferior players, absolutely smoked us for the double a couple seasons back using these tactics. I think it would be good football to have Romero and LCB alternating getting forward when we are the dominant team to help provide an extra man in attack, and I think they have/would-have plenty of skill to do so.
A thousand times better than Reguillon in this setup.

I can understand the thinking behind having Romero marading forward. With a 2 man midfield, and WB who almost function as wingers, or even shadow-striker (doherty), the middle of the pitch can become huge open ground, very dangerous on turnovers.
There are other tactical benefits to haivng roaming CBs instead of the midfield pushing forward. Not to say that PEH doesn't join attacks either.
It's actually been quite impressive to watch when Davies was linking up with Kane and Regui as they ripped through the oppo defence.

Would rather have Eriksen, much more professional, and despite the heart issue, is actually injury resistant.
Rumours flying today, that Brentford are already in agreement with Falk from FC Copenhagen.
If true, they hardly believe Chris is staying with them.
Looks like the rumor about Ronnie Edwards have "legs"...

Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is already planning for the next stage of the rebuild of his squad and will battle it out with Tottenham for Ronnie Edwards, Peterborough’s £15million-rated England under-19 defender.
Palace have won plaudits this season for their emerging talents such as young England internationals Marc Guehi, Conor Gallagher and Tyrick Mitchell.
Centre-back Edwards, 19 last month, has been a regular in The Championship as well as impressing against Manchester City in the FA Cup. Spurs are also taking note of Edwards, but Palace hope Vieira’s record in giving young players a chance gives them an advantage.

We could win by loaning him back for a season
Dorrington two years younger?
Is this guy England youth regular, or, break out this season?
Would like 5 of these, scattered amongst squad/U23/loans, to bolster our gaps and make 1-2 every 1-2seasons the norm, for 1st team squad or sizeable sale ala Chelsea’s flourishing set up (in this sickening sense, given Arneson set the infrastructure in place).
Why do I have the feeling that the Ndombele fiasco will put off some at the club over that kind of punt?
Another defensive midfielder? Lol how many does a team need. Hojberg, Skipp,bentancur...

Badly scouted, over priced shite? I’m keen not to do that again!
Why would you put Kulu, a left-footer who's very comfortable in his present position, in the middle and Martinez, a right-footed CF, in Kulu's present position?Yeah, Lautaro isn't gonna link up with Son like Kane does. If anything I could envision Kulu taking the Kane role and Lautaro taking Kulu's role, but more central close to Son, on the edge of the box, not out wide, delivering crosses.
AsTomHotspur said, he'd be a great backup for Kane, but play a different role. I don't think he's worth 70m though.
Manchester City have agreed personal terms with Borussia Dortmund and Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21. (Mail)
City are poised to trigger the £62m release clause in Haaland's contract (Sky Sports)
Real Madrid are reluctant to meet Haaland's wage demands because they do not want to unsettle their dressing room of stars by making the striker the highest-paid player in the squad. (Goal)
