Alexander Isak: has a chance to play against Everton (Howe)

Apparently the reason is he didn’t play regularly for Roma and he is not an Dutch international 

 

That’s ridiculous. He was on loan to Nice hence didn’t play for Roma. The rules have problems

Putting 2+2 and getting 5, I can only assume it’s an FA thing to protect English players.
 

Rather than clubs hoovering up rubbish foreign players for cheap money and blocking English players coming through, they at least have to have foreign players who have actually played in the top couple of tiers.

 

seems he’s fallen in some obscure crack.

He seems like he's being penalised for playing at a big club and nationality of a big footballing nation and being slightly short ability wise of both? If he played for Feyenoord but was American for example, he'd have been fine?

If we play him with Wilson what is formation going to be? 4-1-3-2? Or play 4-3-3 still with Isak on right with ASM on left?

 

Probably the 4-3-3, with ASM sticking more wide, and Isak tucking in more as a inside forward, with Trippier then providing the width.

We can't be shoehorning players into our formation by sticking this guy on the right wing, or putting ASM on the right just to play Isak on the left. He is striker. While he seemingly can drift out wide during matches, he's started like 2 matching on LW and RW in his entire career according to transfermarkt. Play him in his natural position together with Wilson, or start him or Wilson on the bench so we have options to change things up during games.

Bit leftfield maybe but I reckon Wilson could be very effective on the right of a front 3 in our current set up. There’s a lot of goals to be had from that position with ASM and Bruno supplying.

 

Trippier keeps the width out there as we know. It’s just whether he could do the defensive work.

I thought it was Howe being diplomatic by saying he can play with Wilson rather than saying "Wilson is a crock, we've bought him in to replace him"

I'd give this guy as free a role as possible ie behind a main striker either in a 4-3-3 or a 4-4-2. Main reason is he's so good on the ball, lets give it to him as much as possible. Out and out strikers are often feeding on scraps and deprived of space.

Not so sure about that. He's proven himself as a central striker/wide forward, scored plenty of goals from those positions as well so don't see how changing that will contribute to his game in any way.

 

Also, your idea means Wood playing up top again and I'd rather just have Isak up there with ASM, Almiron and  Willock/Anderson in behind them.

Doesn't make sense to play him wide so we can keep playing Wood. You also lose the work that Miggy does on the right. 

 

Guess if ASM is out he could potentially play left, but I'd still rather put Fraser in TBH. 

If we play Miggy in the 10 he can do what he does on the right, on the left as well.

Definitely potential for Miggy to play there, guess the worry would be if he runs around too much and doesn't provide enough structure. Wouldn't be against trying it if we don't sign a CM.

I don't see Miggy playing much differently in the 10 role, just gives him more opportunity to pop up on the left and get a cross in, primarily I want him linking up with Trippier and Bruno, with Isak's priority being to find space in the box.

A number 10 that can't spot a pass, create or shoot. Great aye.
