I think we need a poll. Would you rather... A) Traore B) Dan James
I get that but I was more referring to getting a potentially starting CB rather than a 6th choice one. Our 4 main attackers are excellent, perhaps elite level. Of our defenders I think only Romero is at that same level, and Dier and Davies are very good. Our excellent defensive unit relies on the whole team defending rather than brilliance of just the 3 centre backs playing well together. If we had better players there it gives those ahead of them more of a licence to do more in an attacking sense.I'm very much in the attacker is more important than a CB camp.
We have six CBs, CBs are never rotated during a game, and if our three starting CBs were injured we'd still field Lenglet, Sanchez, and Tanganga.
We have five attacking options, these are the most rotated during a game, and if our three starting attackers were all injured it would leave us with Richarlison, Moura, and no-one.
For me, the squad needs that extra forward to balance out the 'no-one' position before we look to upgrade positions that we already have two players for.
Why not both?I think we need a poll. Would you rather... A) Traore B) Dan James

An oil spill.Give me Oily man every time, I'd guess it would be a landslide.

Maybe Wolves have told him to have no end product because of that ? ... we just have to play in long sleeves all the time. And his number of goals and assists will explode.Another problem who is going to hug Traore if he scores, no one is going to want to get covered in oil?
Bentancur loves the long sleeves or undertop so he can hug Adama.Maybe Wolves have told him to have no end product because of that ? ... we just have to play in long sleeves all the time. And his number of goals and assists will explode.
Going on what I've seen from Conte we have generally rotated the LWB, and only played four at the back once when we were desperate, so I'm not convinced this addresses our issues.It's not ideal but I imagine we at times will play Perisic as left forward and Sess at wing back. The team will be rotated with a few players who can cover multiple positions. We also don't loan Gil without an incoming so we do have him as an option too.
I was also thinking about how we replace Dier and I wouldn't be surprised to see us go to a back 4 a times. It would give the option to play Lenglet left of a 2 and 2 wingers with 2 up front. There's room to be flexible. It's not as simple as needing 2 for each exact position.
