Obviously Dybala would be the cherry on top but you're spot on. These two signings give us that platform to be as solid as 16/17.Such a great transfer. Our midfield options last year caused us so many problems.
- We had to change our formation to accomodate the inadequacies of who we had at our disposal
- We put pressure on our defence by not having players good on the ball
- We struggled to break the lines with a pass or a dribble, so key to Poch’s style
- We dropped Alli into a deeper role where he’s far less effective and can’t get in scoring positions
- Eriksen, too, as above
The signings of Ndombele and Lo Celso are going to transform our play towards what Poch wants, increase our tactical flexibility, make us a stronger defensive unit and increase the number of chances we create.
It’s superb business.
Lo Celso will breathe new life into our attack too, more tenacious and better in tight spaces than Eriksen so we should be strong in possession and final third play.
Sess offers variation as he can play LB and be pushed further up - he's also a scoring outlet.
It gives us the platform to now add a special player in future
