I see he played in a double pivot alongside Casemiro.

 

Of the players we have, a Tonali-Bruno pivot seems like the best option if we want to try something new imo. Joelinton can play left wing or 10, or as a rotation option for the pivot players. Willock seems ideally suited to a 10 role with Isak ahead of him too imo.

Or Isak as a 10 with Wilson ahead of him

why does it seem like half this forum wants to drop or sell our best player because we are 1 point worse off than last year based on the fixtures so far?

Is it blasphemy to not consider him our best player? Personally i think Isak and Botman have had better performances on average for us overall. I still rate him, but not as highly as the rest of the forum it seems.

Botman is probably the most consistent one. Not sure about Isak vs Bruno, because they both have been insane at their best, but Isak has had some games where he's barely getting involved. Typical for a striker though, it even happens with Haaland. Kind of hard to compare the performances of Bruno and Isak, with Isak being a striker.

Botman and Isak er the only ones I wouldn't sell for any price. Getting 100m for Bruno would mean we could bring in a DM and an AM to offer us a better balanced midfield.

 

Not that I think it's going to happen anytime soon.

In a world where Caicedo just topped £100m, that bit is questionable... I'm sure it could be done, but it's easier said than done.

Fair. Good strikers for a fair price are not easy to find nowadays, so Isak is very important. But it's also hard to find a good DM without breaking the bank.

£100m is not going to get you two top level midfielders these days. As mental as that sounds typing it out. 
 

Would we not be better off keeping arguably our best and most sought after player and building the team and midfield around him?

I say sell him for 100mill......... then immediately buy him back for 100mill. Yeah its an obvious FFP dodge but so is loan with obligation.

 

 

 

Not being serious btw.
