He's still 16, he's not going to start every game next year and certainly not in central midfield. At the minute, I think it's more important that he gets minutes rather than focus on a specific position. If that means he sometimes plays on the right, sometimes as number 10 and sometimes in the middle, then I think that's fine.
Could he be our 1st choice on the left then?
I've not seen enough of him to know how good he is, but unless we're massively increasing our wage bill this year, I'd expect us to be only signing experience if they're for the first 11.
Rigg V Aouchiche for me in the 10 next year. He has a great eye for a threaded pass. If we sign a proper striker who moves well they’d thrive off him.
That’s what I’m trying to understand. He’s a decent player and profile but we have Clarke, Ba, Mundle as right footed wingers. You could also include Rusyn and Adil in that. It suggests to me he’s the replacement for Clarke or someone else is leaving.
Sorry I’m getting my threads mixed up. Jobe for me is better deeper not the 10.
Striker x2
Winger
Defensive midfielder
Left back
Centre back
Goalkeeper (maybe)
And that's before anyone leaves.
We need a fairly heavy clear out also, both permanent and loans.

Need to clear players out for sure
Lb is an interesting one as we have a quality one in Cirkin - just never fit
I know its been doom n gloom this season but def fixable
The club i scout for, lost our director of football, manager (really good manager who had done great things with the club), chief scout (he left during the season) and we lost 2 of our best players last summer (lost another quality player in January)
Fans and media etc were predicting us to have a difficult season
Yet we got our managerial appointment right in the summer and this season we have guaranteed european football this season.
It shows that getting 1 appointment right is massive for a club - we can def do that this summer and from everything I've heard from contacts it seems like its going to be an exciting summer

Could see a loan LB coming in. Oli Bainbridge has been excellent for the unders as well
Good shout on Bainbridge. I wonder if he will be promoted to the first team squad next season?
Players I think will leave in the summer:-
Clarke
Neil
Hume
Matete
Embleton
Dack
Taylor
Burstow
Mayenda (loan)
Players to come up from the youth team
Watson
Kelly
Players left I am happy with for the squad
Patto
Pembele
Ballard
Onien
Alese
Cirkin
Rigg
Jobe
Adil
Ba
Ekwah
Roberts
Mundle
I fear we have a big rebuild to do. I just hope we do it early. Euros slap bang in the way. Plenty of players available this summer. We need to start with a couple of solid free transfers to give us better know how. Then we need to better use the loan market and pick up a couple at the end of the window. Money needs to be invested into the striker position where I think we need to buy 2 and the CM position. I would also seriously think about the centre half position. Somebody like Cooper from Millwall would be a coup.

I'd keep Embo, I think he offers something different and would fit a 4 3 3 line up.
I worry we will lose Neil, he's viral to how we set up and play, he will be expensive to replace.
Early signings is crucial to give them a full pre season with the new head coach and his team
