Meanwhile, on the important subject of recruiting players, which may actually make us stronger rather than bringing in a new coach with no idea about the players he’s inherited, throwing us back into chaos at an absolutely crucial time in the season…..
In his post Wycombe interview, Cleverley was asked about his decision to put Mitchell up as a No 9 after the 83rd minute substitutions.
He confirmed a “traditional No 9” was a top target in the upcoming transfer window.
Whilst this may be viewed by some as a step back to a bygone age, I’d point to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who’d more or less disappeared from sight at Everton, but is now tearing up trees, with 8 goals in 16 appearances in the EPL for newly promoted and 16th placed Leeds United. He’s even being tipped as a possibility for the England World Cup squad.
