I think players like Holgate are why this team isnt in as dire need for new players as some people make out. Instead of needing 6-7, I think we really only need about 3, because if you bring in a top LB, and a top CB to pair with him, Holgate will look that much better all of the sudden giving you a very solid back 4. Likewise, with Lookman, and the fact we brought in Tosun and Walcott in the winter, that really just leaves a CM spot as a big weakness.

Sure depth might be an issue, but Ill take that over the starters being terrible.

Most sensible people are saying we only need 3 or 4 players anyway.

Maybe a few yoots as well.
 

Big Willy meets 50% of the criteria. Will he do?

I know Silva has said he’ll play 4-3-3 but I think Hokgate’s best position is as the right sided centre back in a 5-3-2.

Hopefully he’ll continue to progress to be as strong in a 4-4-2. Just lacks a bit of physical presence at the moment.
