He's being described as able to play across the front three. Nonsense. He's played 90% of his games at CF. Richy has a lot more experience at LW, and he's not great there. Looks like we'll be making do with one from Johnson, Odobert or Tel on the left, none of whom are ideal.
Sure, Xavi can play there but then we have no creativity at 10
Left half space is literally where Simons plays most of the time
Loan signings are by definition filler I guess we didn't want to be coming out of the window with Richarlison as our only fit senior striker. We should be mostly playing Odebert and Tel left anyway.
Right? One of our 2 strikers got a serious looking injury on Saturday, and on Monday we get a risk free loan of a player valued at 90m a couple of years ago. This has been a pretty great transfer window for me
