That start of the interview Interviewer sounds like he's trying to say a full sentence whiles breathing in
Don't see where Samuelsen fits into this team anymore. Using our formation, he's behind Wilks, Scott, Mayer, KLP and now Adelakun on the wings.
Samuelsen is basically with the likes of Arthur, chadwick, greaves, Jones, Sheaf and Fleming with KLP far and away the pick of the bunch of promising youth.
That's way too simplistic a way to view it. To effectively play, 442 you need 2 wide midfielders who put a proper shift in defensively. E.g Burnley and our 08 promotion-winning side. We don't have that. Play 442 with our squad and it becomes a 424. Wilks is great, but awful at tracking back. The wide players realistically have to play deeper which nullifies them to a degree. It also completely messes up the midfield. We've got it working great with those 3 in there, Batty is a fine deputy for Richie too. Dropping any of those would be completely harsh. Our squad is set up and has been recruited to play 433 and while it may benefit 2 average forwards, it certainly doesn't benefit the team. It's miles more beneficial to play a fluid 3 up there and it's working great.
Nobody apart from OLM ever said we were signing a striker, Grant said we wanted another winger and he's got one
This was the forward he wanted. He's after another midfielder. It might also change depending on how our injuries go. We've got a two week window where we can sign a loan player after the PL transfer window shuts and they've announced their squads. So there's no rush on our part. If we can get the core of the team gelled and playing together nicely, a few talented back up options would be decent.
