I have to say whoever proposed the recruitment strategy this year has got it badly wrong which is a shame as they've excelled last two seasons. We've effectively been left with Nico Williams to cover both LB/ RB sides and that's it. Dyche is known for building defensive stability but even he's got his work cut out with that one. We are overstocked everywhere else when everyone knew the priority were those wingback positions.
The recruitment and the general strategy from about late last season has been so so poor. Nuno guided us to out best every finish and we had a clear identity under him. If he wants Traore, then give him what he wants and let him get on with it. We've also somehow spent £180m and i'd argue probably only 1 player has actually raised the floor and ceiling of this team. I would have rather kept Elanga.

The way we played last season, Elanga was our most important player.

Red sky I agree. Edu works his Brazilian magic again eh? No wonder Nuno fell out with him.

Thanks very much Norfolk! Whilst I know my posts sometimes opprobrium I try hard not to appear pusillanimous nor insouciant………????.
