Rapha should carry on as a 4th choice, ideally and assuming a winger is brought in before the deadline. There’s a player in there and I’m optimistic his development is best served here. As for Andrews, I’m erring to the side of a loan but given Lampard’s track record of developing talent, you’ve got to trust his judgement.
We can’t let ourselves be in a position where we resort to playing players out of position or changing formation because we’ve ran out of wingers.
If EMC gets injured, you’re probably looking at a front three of BTA, Simms and Wright which is suboptimal. Alternatively, we probably end up playing 4-4-2 or 5-3-2, which brings to on to another position of need: CB.
To close out the transfer window, best case scenario looks like:
- winger
- CB
- AM
Rudoni is obviously a blue chip player in this league but we’re screwed if he gets injured because there’s no real alternative.
