This is how I see the squad for next season after Tarkowski comes in and the out of contract players leaving.... I`m not sure Nkounkou comes back in to the 1st team squad, he may do if Frank wants Wing Backs.
It is obvious we have a lot of Centre Backs which makes me think we will go 5 at the back permanently which I think will be a big mistake, unless we have a couple leaving i.e. Mina and Branthwaite on loan. Playing a 2 man midfield in the Premier League they would have to be absolutely world class to be able to deal with 3 Premier League quality CMs that everyone seems to use. That means we need to go and buy them 2 and literally none of the players we have is capable of playing that way, playing a 2 man midfield I believe was the single biggest factor in all our defeats last season along with injuries.
How many times did we see 4-4-2 or 5-2-3 and we were screaming for a 3rd CM player to make us less passive?
Anyway, I hope we go 4-3-3..........
