Would you not see Miley being able to play this 6 role?

Exactly this. Looked to take the ball on the half-turn, go at players, play balls through the line, when he came on. Then realised that no-one else was on the same page, so fell in line with the left to right, right to left gameplan.

That's that then. Much rather invest in his potential than cop out with Thiaw (who I'm not sure if that good) or Guehi. Leoni, yes.

Has anyone seen anything on Scalvini? Have we given up on him now we have Thiaw and (possibly) the return of the Guehi saga?

His distribution is far better than Pope's.

Thank God we're still interested and haven't downgraded to mildly curious...

Everything seems to have gone quite on the CB front? Anyone heard any news? Sandro getting his spare room ready for Scalvini?

I think we'd still have some cash for a decent CD signing; if anything is to take a backseat this window I think it would be for a keeper. Burnley will ask for a lesser fee when they head back down next season.

Does this not just mean that Miley now the defacto 1st sub? If we're getting a midfielder, we need a 10.

Brilliant book. Although I don't think we have a Rodgers/Benteke situation (yet?), definitely agree that recruitment can't be driven by one person and one style.
