    I think having 2 decent full backs is what puts me off playing with 3 at the back to be honest especially if we sign another decent midfielder.

    Obviously it’s very slim but if we get Diallo back there’s absolutely no chance we’re leaving our Him, Clarke or Roberts out for a centre back surely?

    It's all on the data. The data has indicated we should play 3 at the back for a while. That said, it only takes a few results or injuries to change that.

    What we see now is players getting signed who are agile. I expect to see KS mention being agile and adaptable given the league moving forward.

    Couple of key players will sign on. One will probably leave. Depends in the business coming in too.

    Amad would be great but I know the club are proceeding on the basis it's not a goer. Correct IMO.

    Yep. I’m down for trying this, suits the squad best.

    DM needs to be a monster for it to work though.

    Doesn't sound good for Pritchard as he's pretty much a No.10 playing behind a lone striker, can't really play in centre midfield or on the left of a front 3 so becomes the odd one out?

    Cheers for the info mate. Let’s hope the CDM is someone who can dictate play because I don’t think that’s Neil and I’ve no idea what Bellingham is like but if he’s b2b then he’s not a dictator either.

    Are the club looking at other high profiles loans on the basis Diallo won’t be back?

    Thats the most important thing, agile players

    Need to be fluid and be able to adapt to different formations easily

    Don't know mate.

    That's fair too specific.

    100%. Would love him to stay, he can change games coming off the bench and put us in control. Not sure he’s a starter anymore unfortunately.

    If you were a gambling man would you think the right fella would think it was Johansson?
