We had so many forwards because it was our first season: the injuries of Callum and Max shows that the depth was necessary.<br /><br />Grabban wasn't good enough for us unfortunately, but Afobe definitely still has a place. Allsop and Brad Smith are young too, why transfer them out?<br /><br />The transfer policy is young potential. Howe has shown that he can grow them Well- heck even King was pretty poor when he came in.<br /><br />Have faith in Eddie. Not all transfers were good but a lot have turned out better than we could have hoped (including previous seasons)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242217270655542116.post-79740845864759087832017-07-01T15:11:23.481+01:002017-07-01T15:11:23.481+01:00The midfield this season must include Lewis Cook a...The midfield this season must include Lewis Cook and Ake can play in midfield as well....however with Arter carrying an injury apparently maybe another midfielder is needed.....it seems that the squad is top heavy and we need to let a few go....Gradel/Grabban/Allsop/Afobe/Marc Wilson/Brad Smith and maybe a few youngsters...Quigley/Lee/WorthingtonAlan Kasmirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04835526894895005925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242217270655542116.post-44423449218569132532017-07-01T14:16:56.989+01:002017-07-01T14:16:56.989+01:00Another load of media tripe and speculation that i...Another load of media tripe and speculation that is 'wide of the mark'. Fernando is a holding midfielder and so is Lewis Cook who proved with England that he is a great holding player with stats showing he made more interceptions and tackles than any other player on the field... but also with a great eye for a forward attacking pass once he has won the ball... and if we want a more 'upfield' assist type attacking midfielder. Why go for Holtby when we already have Gosling and Hynderman to battle it out between them... and Wilshere himself will probably also be available for any club who shows ambition and can afford to pay the price! The only position in need of strengthening and attention now is the right side of the back line. With the Ake acquisition much now depends if the manager intends to more often adopt a 3 man back line system similar to Chelsea employing Ake in the central position with a 4 man midfield at home and a 5 man midfield away, or intends to retain 4-4-2.
