I saw someone before say he wasn't at training today. Also the west ham official site said they had bid 20m for someone from Scotland. Maybe the assumption was Dembele?? Out of interest Dembele is currently 1/8 to stay at Celtic.
Depends what formation he wants to play. If he goes with a 433 or 4231 (what he's used to) then we definitely need a winger arguably more so than a striker. Hopefully he'll get something out of Abel and that would go a long way towards filling the need for a striker.
It depends on how comfortable the lads are playing it, but we've won twice this season playing 4-2-3-1. Thudd and Jake playing a deep role, Mason/Henriksen in the advanced role behind Mbokani or Hernandez. Snodgrass cutting inside, Clucas on the other. Small boys in the park? Jumpers for goalposts? One lads gone home for his tea! Mmm? Marvellous.
