What about the false No. 9?
Bored, sniff it.
Frank favours a 4-3-3, with 2 full backs, a deep lying number 10 playmaker flanked by 2 box to box midfielders, with 2 attacking wingers and a "number 9".
Using the current players in the squad, it would look like this :
Robles
Coleman - Stones - Jags - Baines
McCarthy - Barkley - Besic
Geri - Lukaku - Mirallas
Some players he "may" bring with him.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaïro_Riedewald
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkadiusz_Milik
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Klaassen
And hopefully this fella.
Frank is a clever man, this is what his squad will look like, if their name aint down, Frank hasnt let them in, only "first team players" will be named :
GK
Robles
Cillessen
RB
Tete
Coleman
LB
Baines
Oviedo
Garbutt
CB
Stones
Mori
Jags
Riedwald
CM
McCarthy
Bazoer
Besic
Cleverley
DLP
Barkley
Klaassen
RW
Mirallas
Lennon
Geri
LW
Niasse
Fischer
CF
Lukaku
Millik
Tarashaji
Now clearly Ajax arent gonna let us mug off half their team, so in certains areas we would need to shop elsewhere. Now I know theres certain players missing and we will struggle to get rid of some of them, others not so much.
The noticeable name missing is Gareth Barry, who is a superb player, but I cant see him "fitting" into Franks system so could see him taking a little move to the US or China, the rest are fairly pony and I would just get rid of them all on a free.
Depending on our luck in getting rid of McGeady, Kone and the ilk, maybe we could add a little more creativity in the middle of the park alongside the Bosnian Zidane, Franks First 11 will look like this :
Cillessen
Tete - Stones - Riedelwald - Baines
Bazoer- Barkley - Besic
Geri --------------------Fischer
Lukaku
@Brownie
Mine too. Direct from the Dutch league is a risk I reckon.I'm unsure of De Boer as he has no PL experience.
That's just my personal view.
To re-inforce this view, I think @Dutch Toffee agrees.Mine too. Direct from the Dutch league is a risk I reckon.

Tempted to do a Jose version yano.
Guardiola, Pochettino, Mourinho, Billic, Koeman have all at some point never had PL experience, I don't believe in all that baloney. Pulis, Allardyce, Alex Mccleish, Mick MCCarthy all have years of experience.I'm unsure of De Boer as he has no PL experience.
That's just my personal view.
Don't forget my offerings10/10, great thread, will read again.
Personally I think we need a safe but successful pair of hands who is used to the PL at this stage.Guardiola, Pochettino, Mourinho, Billic, Koeman have all at some point never had PL experience, I don't believe in all that baloney.

I know where your coming from as its different from any other country but a De Boer who's a proven winner would be my first choice, he will get the experience in the first season then go from there like Klopp is doing at the RS
F De Boer for me is the man! Whoever it maybe will be significantly better than the one we have nowPersonally I think we need a safe but successful pair of hands who is used to the PL at this stage.
