Trying to think of where this lad could start as he is a DM and we have Neil there, maybe RLB wants to be able to rotate often and maintain the quality in the midfield?

Neil, Jobe, Browne, Rigg, Samed (?) Great options to have in midfield
Once we get into the three games in a week, we'll start to see a fair bit of rotation

I see us as playing with two "holding" midfielders, not just one. As we defend in the 4-4-2. We need both of them to be comfortable playing as "8s" as well as "6s". We then have a third central midfielder who is more attacking in the "10" and moves into the up front 2 when defending.

I see our options as being Neil, Samed, Browne, Rigg and Jobe as the "8s" and Rigg and Jobe as the "10s".

It looks stacked, and it is. But it means we always have options of the bench who are good enough to start. Thats what you need to have a good season.

Reactions: CR17
I'd argue he's acted very french since the club screwed him over lol
Don't know if I am on my own here but I still want Mendy (along with Simic) as he brings a lot of experience with him, in addition to the attributes I liked on the YouTube videos - finishing, hold up play etc.
We don't know what exactly has gone on with him and Caen but I like his desire to come here and not use the current situation to go for Saudi money or have his head turned by the Mbappe takeover and use it for a better contract.
