I think we want a needle moving experienced top level midfielder, just talking to a couple options here imo.

To actually answer this though, I think we are basically done now with AFCON players - its worth noting we have brought africans in roles where we expect to or already did have some good depth or options.

If another african comes in I can see it being a striker as we have depth to cover that period of time and not lose quality, now for the CBs and GK we will avoid the african market as we have seen with our rumoured targets.

Current stage I'm not worried about afcon because I think we will adequately fill the squad with quality, but agree that if for example both CBs are then its a litte worrying.

Final thought on it is the length of time is being overexaggerated by a lot of people, Reinildo for example plays 3 games in 10 days and will be knocked out, missing probably 2 maybe 3 games - its not really that bad.

Good post mate. Don’t think it’s a concern too much atm.

Despite size I don’t really see frank as a base of a 3

so unless we use xhaka and sadiki as the 6 but then who doesn’t play out of frank ELF and Diarra :D

Yeah I think we see/saw him as being able to sit so asked - but it would be a very poor allocation of funds to sign Diarra and Le Fee then have FZA to want to start ahead of one of them. Hence I think fab just showing off his knowledge and saying hes another option we considered but are now all in on Xhaka

Probably also an excuse for him to mention the Napoli contract extension
