I love how we're debating what to do with an imaginary playerwhy move him if he’s scoring 37 a session?

2 games, 2 clean sheets with Gbamin playing
Right-back for me was an area the oppo exploited very clearly all season long.
Gana is badly missed he covered the full back positions when they went forward. He had the vision to see what would happen if we lost the ball and to be the right place to defend against it. Hopefully a fully fit Gbamin can be that player.2 games, 2 clean sheets with Gbamin playing

Doesn’t help when your keeper is letting 4 out of every 5 shots go past him. I didn’t think we have been as bad defensively as some make out.
I’m sure there was a stat going around when silva got sacked, that we were in the top 5 in the league, for shots on our goal. Considering the problems we had in midfield, that’s good imo.
Get gbamin back( I know he still a bit unknown at this level) but another quality powerful. Add a quality CB, which seems to be on the cards. Then a think we will be fine as a team defensively.
But Pickford is still a problem and needs a very good season next year. Or he will be gone
Yeah right back has been a horror show.2 games, 2 clean sheets with Gbamin playing

Obviously it's all dependent on budgets and who becomes available but ideally i'd be looking for a keeper, a right back, a centre half, a central midfielder and a winger. I know people always say don't bring in too many players at once but for me you've got to get to a position where your squad is generally good enough and just needs a bit of extra quality before you can do that. Our squad is lacking in a number of areas and just adding one or two players isn't going to have much of an impact unless they're top class and capable of transforming the team by themselves.
Yeh they're the positions I'd go for. Can't see a keeper though, maybe can't even see a centre mid since we have so many as it is.

100% we buy centre mid, Carlo has talked about the lack of legs abd energy in there . But when you watch siggurdsson and Davies isn’t it any wonder.
I think we will try and sell at least 3 of the midfielders
Seems to be continuous chatter on James Rodriguez. Reports now in Colombia backing it up https://www.antena2.com/futbol/esta-dispuesto-a-ceder-el-contrato-que-ofreceria-everton-a-james
£25m deal and £85k p/w would represent a great deal if we could flog Sigurdsson. James would be an incredible signing, probably the marquee name we've been crying out for for years.

....not sure if that would mean a return to 1 up front and James as a no10.
Could see him operating a role more akin to Bernardo Silva at City out one of the wings. It would definitely suit a 4-3-3 formation similar to City and Liverpool, with DCL and Richarlison completing the line. That formation requires incredible discipline in midfield though and we'd definitely need to upgrade to get more mobile players in there.
Or his agent is using us as a stalking horse, "look Carlo Ancelotti wants him" - not saying that is the case, but i expect we will be used that bit more as a stalking horse given we have a manager of Carlos reputation maybe we already are - Bale, Koulibaly, Couthino, Rodriguez etc.

If we have big ambishun we need to go for both Gabriel and Koulibaly.
Get them both alongside Holgate and Mina and we have the best CB options in the league imho.

I doubt Ancelotti will change his 442 system,
I can see him playing in a wide midfield role, which side I don’t know.
