Not with Godfrey in there I’m afraid.
Unless he can improve his positional sense and aerial ability he’ll be a squad player behind Holgate ( assuming we don’t sign anymore CB’s)
Agreed, he hasn’t the brains for centre back, is always 2nd best in the air and his passing is poor.

His only decent performances for us came at LB or Midfield.

Getting ahead of myself here but Tarkowski is the kind of leader who could get the best of Godfrey. Jagielka used to tell Stones and Lescott exactly where to be at all times and made them much better. They also both looked dodgy the second he wasn’t there to hold their hand.
 
The midfielder we need.
Never seen nor heard of him tbh.

30 yrs old in 3 weeks , stats dont look too impressive either.

All depends on Allan's future for me, if we can move him on and find a younger more physically bigger defensive midfielder.
Don't really get that...

It's Gomes that's the problem. Now the joint-highest earner at the club, and desperately needs shifting.

Right now our central midfield options are Doucoure, Allan, Davies and Gomes. That's it really. Iwobi is a more attacking player but of course in a 433 can play in there.

So we need one as it stands, plus Gomes out, to then get in another. Allan becomes one of those that we could move on but only when replacements are already in the door. He's a good player and Lampard likes him. We've not used him close to properly which is a shame. Won't be the first one they try and get out of the door though, all being well.
 
If we keep DCL we need wide players who can bang crosses into the box.

No point signing silky players to play through balls into a target man.....
Well no because that's what Benitez tried and it's very, very easy to stop mate.

It doesn't have to just be about 'banging crosses in'

DCL was at his best in the first half of 2020-21 when we had an ability to hold possession high up the pitch and get our FBs pushing high.

So it's not just about getting players to cross it in like it's 2005. Because that's what the pig man wanted to do.

You get good players who can hold the ball and that allows your FBs and other wide players to get into more dangerous positions. You also need power and pace in midfield to cover the ground that leaves.
