Does it matter? Lucumi isn’t being let go and we’ve just watched Mukiele have an unreal debut at CB. Move him there and sign a RB, save money and allow more funds for an attacker? I think that makes sense but everyone is entitled to an opinion
This has brought me round, gives us extra in the middle of the park. Now use the money saved from Guiu on super solider serum for Aji Alese. And sign a forward and a winger.
I actually think he’ll be better at centre half in time. Doesn’t look very good with ball at feet. But he was never intended to be the starter if we’re all honest. Let’s hope he blossoms. Yesterday was a good start tbf.
If you were there you would of seen he was outstanding ! He won the majority of his duals and his pass rate was second to none, what a player we have on our hands !
I can’t see Mukiele being happy being behind Lucumi and Alderete, he looks good enough to be first choice. I think this is a better way to go about sorting defensive depth (no idea if this lads any good like)
Not uncomfortable per se just his positioning suggested he’s now totally familiar with that role just yet
I think that’s how the club will be looking at it, mate. They like versatile players and we now have every defensive position more than covered.
Not too mention that he was up against a right handful of a centre forward, strong, physical, good in the air and with his feet ….he matched him on the day, great start from the lad was MoM for me
I’m struggling to understand how signing Lucumi and playing Mukiele as RB depth is any different to if we signed Mukiele as a CB today and Geertruida as RB depth
