No fear of losing Greaves then if he's not good enough to play in a pair.

Greaves, Figs, Macca, Jones can all play in a back 4.

I just think he wants to utilise Greaves and Jones playing out and bombing forward. TWT if it's best utilisation of the squad available.
We only won 2 games last season with aforementioned in a 4 bar Figs but he was used in a back 3 too at Forest. And on top of the back 3 last season they had 2 defensive midfielders in front of them. That would suggest otherwise no?

The recruitment does not marry up to a philosophy to play 5-3-2. Nor do we have 3 star centre halves who warrant playing such a formation.

It’s a madness.
Considering previous stints of Shota, I don't believe that he will adopt 3 CBs formations here. Shota always preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, he will switch to it after first defeat.

We did, but had a porous midfield, no real outlet and couldn't retain posession with the midfielders and forwards we had, so spent a lot of time under the cosh, defending.

3 at the back just covered for deficiencies elsewhere.

Our main issues weren't defensive last season, whether a 4 or a 3 we still had a respectable record, just didn't score goals, and when it went forward, it came straight back most of the time

Have we had an indication as to who the 2 premier league players are? That international defender can’t be too hard to work out.
