do we need to re-jig our PL squad for him to fit in? If it is full at the moment (I don't know if it is) who misses out? I guess Dier whether he's going or staying.
To fit in Werner ? Whilst Son is at Asian Cup, I think Werner plays where Son did before he joined the South Korea squad as LW so its :
Werner, Richarlison Johnson
After Son is back, a front line of Son, Werner and Johnson would be faster and more scary than any other PL side.
But in practice I think Ange will probably stick with Son but vary the other two starters, whether that's because of the opposition or how they do in training or whatever I really couldn't say.
But whoever of the 4 doesn't start I think will get more time off bench than Ange has previously given, with Scarlett also getting time.
All of them have something different and Ange will like to test the opposition with all of them - and most including Scarlett are great at pressing which helps maintain Ange's high line..
Not sure where that leaves Solomon, I think it will depend on how he looks in training. IMO Gil will probably be loaned out again - the issue is that he doesn't contribute a goal threat although he's a great dribbler.
With Dragusin, I think we need to see how he plays - but I think Romero/Van de Ven look very good so it will be up to Dragusin to show what he can do. It would not surprise me if we don't see him as a starter that regularly until next season when with europe we will have a higher match intensity meaning rotation is necessary - and Dragusin is tight footed, more frequently plays as LCB but can play RCB.
I think its clear Dier is moving on now. Both Davies and Royal have a role this season as back up full backs but also emergency CB's too - they've excelled at CB in recent matches, only real weakness I think is at set pieces ? What part Sessegnon plays is unclear - better to loan him out as he's not played for almost a year.
I'd like to see Phillips and/or Dorrington get some minutes off the bench - but I'm not sure that will happen.
