If Aouchiche goes we HAVE to bring in a forward. They haven't played a great deal but letting Rusyn, Connolly and Aouchiche go without a real replacement wouldn't be great. One solid, trusted player could definitely replace all 3 though.
I'm really hoping Akpom is the one on that plane haha, played on the left, upfront, second striker and attacking midfielder for Ajax
Aouchiche isn't a forward though. He's been surplus to requirements all season, only playing a few games on the left wing because we had no-one else. Now Le Fee has shown he is capable out there, Aouchiche goes back to being not needed. None of him, Rusyn or Connolly were important parts of our squad. An extra forward would be nice, but we are well stocked in every position but full back...
Really strange letting adil go unless we have a player or 2 close to signing. I know it seems rlb doesnt really fancy him
I honestly don't think we're that well stocked up front like. We're an Isidor injury away from the season derailing. I know Mayenda is solid, but I don't think he's as good leading the line on his own and is better up front alongside someone.
I don't think it a case of replacing those players in particular, it's more a case of we've freed 3 squad places up, it maybe to save wages or hopefully for incomings
He still is the backup left winger behind Le Fee right now though. We won't see Mundle or Watson properly until March I don't think. We currently have Isidor, Mayenda and Roberts who can properly occupy the 3 forward spots. Then Poveda if he's fit and Le Fee and Aouchiche who are out of position there. It's not well stocked at all.
I'd like to see Mayenda get a chance at some point tbh. The best we've played this season has been with Mayenda as the lone striker
I think that was when we had Mundle/Watson (and Clarke at the start of the season) firing on all cylinders though, so he had more support.
I think LW position has to be looked at really closely. It's OK if Watson or Mundle are close to a return but if not it needs addressing. I really can't see why we sign Le Fee and play him there, you can see how talented he is but I don't think he has brought anything better than AA in that position. We have to play him centrally if we are going to benefit from him being here. IMO our 3 in the middle have to be Jobe , DN and Le Fee. Then AA is the best option we have playing on the left.
Mundle is the player I want back the most. His powerful running is so crucial to our play style and he was winning us so many points earlier in the season.
Agree, we were pressing a lot more aggresively due to it being early on and teams hadn't figured us out yet
