I make it 7 players away from an ideal squad. Seeing as we were 7 players away from an ideal starting XI 12 months ago I'd say we have made great overall progress in getting there
In my books, as of right now ie considering bigger needs elsewhere, big Frase and big Ben aren't the worst options to have on the bench...proper pros, hard workers who always give you
. And yeah, HG if I'm not mistaken.
We must do better than Emerson as cover to Porro. Love the kid's endeavor but he just ain't good enough. I wouldn't even have him at Burnley if I was Kompany.
Sessegnon is just a joke. Can't stay fit and can't stop acting a deer in the headlights whenever he does play. Get rid asafp.
Must be nice to have two quality HG lads in the middle of the park...say what Skippy?
Kulu should be a backup really...to someone with proper pace, who can shoot and who's got more than one sorry trick.
Solomon (when fit) or Gil need to be given a proper chance to show they can cover for/challenge Brennan. If not up to it, then get another exciting HG lad in.
You forgot Sonny up front. Veliz too raw to be his wingman. Richy is well...Richy,
's no 9 and all that.
Kiddos-wise: Ashley, Dorrie, Jamie D, Moore...even Devine when he gets back...all need some more EFL experience on loan. Gotta play big man footy week in week out.
* We will never sign all them players we (desperately) need in January or even across Jan + next summer's windows. Just won't happen...or we'll get quantity over quality. Not when we still have Hugo, Dier, Sess, Perisic, Dombs, Tangs, Skippy, Hoj, GLC, Spence, Rodon etc etc on the books.
