Only for CBs that has a higher level on-the-ball technique and/or insane physical attributes. In most cases it's for emergencies or a different football philosophy (rarely long-term) You would never put guys like Matic in defence or Rudiger at CM unless it's an emergency I'm talking about at the very highest level where players can best express their attributes to compete with their peers (many of whom are generational talents) Drogba and Henry weren't playing their best as wingers, that's why their most successful run in their careers were as strikers. Positions have always been flexible, but at the top level in different countries require different skillsets and some players can only express their best attributes and skillsets in certain positions. I mean, most kids start out playing whatever position and the coaches specialize for them

Oversimplification here. If defenders could just plug and play into midfield, you'd see tons of it happening but it's never the case. They occupy different roles and need different skillsets. Sometimes you find players that possess attributes that can fit anywhere but those are rare at the very top level

They will never be found guilty, a quick call from Mansour to the UK PM and it gets quashed

They are funded by the UAE Royal family who is also the deputy PM of their country, they will never get any punishment. They're trillionaires that has seats/can get seats at any table imaginable

I could have sworn he had 4 injuries already

More along the lines of 4 steps forward and a stepped on a Lego moment

If the player didn't want to come, he wouldn't have bothered to do a last minute medical

Essugo is also injury prone

Even when it had nothing to do with them, they still want the spotlight

It's what it is. Positive net spend, cleared out a lot of deadwood, bought some key players but didn't stick the landing well enough Lacking a CB, CM, WB and CF come January

We got the money back, that's all that matters

Went to bed then woke up with the worst news possible. On the club for leaving it late but f**king hell Monaco. Maybe there's a blessing somewhere in this but hopefully our midfield's legs can carry us til Jan or we loan someone

Barco is backup choice CM/WB Henderson is for vibes.

Camara, Caicedo, Lavia, Reece. If we can somehow pull off Wharton 🤞🤞🤞

Christmas miracle

@Sconnie Blue about to explode

He had 3 years to prove himself, the club had punted better players for less

If we sign MGW, there has to be a formation shift to 4231

I mean, it's either him or another round of Gusto CM 🤢

He's like a Lavia clone, had a lot of injuries too iirc

He's also another 5'7, I'm not saying it can't work but it'll create an obvious weakness to our midfield

We really need 2 midfield signings, CMs that can press, tackle and win 2nd balls to recycle our waves of attack.

Probably a secret agreement for Lacroix, we get their last top CB, give them a kid to give game time to whilst they scout out new CBs Or Wharton

Played great for all the games so far
