I'd like to think we won't sell Reed (although I'd be very open to loaning him out), but if we did, then getting a replacement for him before 11pm Wednesday is really not going to be top of my wishlist.

(Not that I am at all against us signing another CM, especially a DM, whether Reed stays or goes. I just wouldn't see any desperate need to replace someone who is currently 6th in line)
 
No we don't. Hojbjerg, Romeu, Clasie, JWP, Davis.

Only Romeu, Reed and possibly Hojbjerg are really fit to play the bottom of a diamond. And Hojbjerg is probably better at CM.

IF there are doubts about Romeu, then we need to make a move for another DM. Which might leave Reed without a place in the squad. If that's the case, then it might be better to loan him or sell him.
 
I reckon we need the following
Attacking central midfielder

Striker

Centre back to replace/push fonte

Right back as Martina was off so deemed not good enough

Defensive midfielder

Then we are ok.

As we won't get that lot I would go for AMC as it is critical to Pauls system and centre back to replace fonte

I think you might be a tad disappointed
 
How many DMs do we have? Romeu and Reed. We have other players that can play there, but it's not ideal. Arguably Romeu isn't even (on current form) suited to the base of the diamond. If we're going to persist with the diamond, which we have no reason to believe we won't, I definitely wouldn't be letting Reed go without bringing in a DM. I'm not sure Reed would be suited to the base of the diamond either, but we're too light in DMs to let him go without replacing him imo.

I've always liked Reed when he's had a chance in the first team, but he's not going to improve without game time. Tough decisions to be made.
