N'golo Kante looks like he will be looking for a new club, although that would be a bit of a Lingard type signing (wrong side of 30 but not ancient, former great, hasn't played much recently, big wages).
Also silly suggestions and I am going to put it out there., Adama Traore. He is a free agent and would fill a speed quota on the wing. He also would be our new Franz Carr. Blisteringly fast and very hit and miss end product. Coops could perform miracles with him. He fell off a cliff the last two seasons but he is only 27.
We don't play with wingers, and why would would you want to buy someone in Brennan's position who is an inferior player to Brennan in every way apart from his bench press?
Jesus C. I'm in agreement. Shock. I was actually having a very similar conversation with a friend. I think it's a decent idea. I'd have him playing on the opposite flank to Brennan though, probably both playing off someone like Taiwo or Wood. The obvious question is where is MGW in this formation, but it's a squad game yadda yadda. It would at least give us the pace option down the left side, rather than always being down the right.
He's been played down the right mostly. But I'd argue he'll be decent anywhere across the front line. If he can get to the form he showed a few seasons ago. He's also a strong ball carrier which we don't have many of.
As for why? Well sure, I'm easily convinced there's better out there. Let's buy those. But if we don't, he's a decent option.
You cannot legislate for speed and he is also a powerful whatnot.
Him and Keinan and Taiwo would be lovely. I haven't forgotten Brennan but a rotation of those players would help keep players fit (especially Keinan..)
Besides Franz Carr brought me joy because of his blind alley runs and I need someone to amuse me.
