As I said the other day mate, Richarlison is two footed and can play either side or up front, Walcott similarly can play all three roles, Lozano has played mostly left side, but is right footed.

We imo anyway need at least another player in that front three mix, especially as I'm certain we'll end up selling Lookman for 25m+ which would cover most of the cost of Lozano also.

I am starting to think that longer term Tosun may not be a regular starter. I don't remember his Hull side using a target man, and he bombed out Okaka and Deeney in favour of Grey at Watford. He likes to press from the front and he will want/need players who have the speed and athleticism to do that. As you've said Richarlinson can play either side, but could also play down the middle and think that may be a position he ends up. Likewise Walcott could and we could play the 3 as a front 3.

Tosun I think will keep his place for the next year or so, but will be phased out. I still think he will score a few goals for us, but I could see him being moved on next summer, if he scores 15+ for a decent fee (more than we paid).

You saw as soon as Walcott came in the difference it gave the team. Even when Bolasie first came what a difference that had (pre his injury) and last night Richarlinson was a but above anything else on the pitch. Throw in Lozano and we would be a different proposition.

I'd like to see Lookman kept too by the way, but a lot will depend on the player.
 
Imagine if we was splashing the cash like we have now
regardless sales not even long ago we was still wondering where
the teta money was, would love to see were we was now if we had that cash then.
Now that we have it everyone's paying silly money aswell typical.
But I guess the revenue dramatically increasing don't help so it's kind of irrelevant.
 

It was only another friendly, but last nights performance was quite sobering.

I thought we might get by with one new CB, but that is clearly not the case.

We need two, whether that is permanent, on loan, or a combination.

Huge fortnight ahead for the club, I don't think we'll be at all capable of finishing seventh with the current squad.

Would be great if they could get Mina and Digne in, and get them signed together, and soon.
 
I honestly think that the most important position for us to strengthen now is CM and we need 2 more in this area. Leicester won a title with Morgan and Huth at the back, Danny Simpson and Christian Fuchs! They were solid because of the energy and positional sense. of Kante and Drinkwater in front of them. We are powder puff in the middle of midfield. None of Schneiderlin, Gueye or Davies are good enough. And this doesn't help our back four or give them any confidence.

Schneiderlin has positional sense and no energy, whilst Gueye and Davies have energy and no positional sense (or creativity).

We can make changes around the edges all we like, the midfield is the heartbeat of the team and ours is leaky beyond belief and doesn't pump very well either!

Other than RLC, have we even been linked with any CMs?
