Snowflake Royal SCIAG If we want ten midfielders, then we have:
1) Rinomhota
2) Laurent
3) Swift
4) Ejaria
5) Meite
6) Azeez
7) Dele-Bashiru
Hoilett
9) Halilovic
10) Drinkwater
So… I guess that works?
But I dunno, these don’t seem to be “sensible living within our means” transfers. TDB and Halilovic yes, maybe Hoilett. But Dann and Drinkwater seem excessive. I hope we are being sensible.
Of them, let's face it, three aren't midfielders, and of them, basically the same three are the ones that can actually play wide effectively
And you're missing Tetek, maybe Araruna as pointed out.
They’re all “midfielders” if we’re playing five in “midfield”. If we’re not, sure, take out Meite, Ejaria, Azeez, Hoilett, and probably Halilovic.
I don’t think there’s a role for Tetek at the club now we’ve bolstered out the squad. I don’t think these transfers make sense if Paunovic is still viewing him as a full member of the squad. Think he’s basically been relegated to the same sort of role as Abbey or Sackey - sure we have them, but they’re only going to play in a crisis.
