He would be a central midfielder you’d think. He will be an 8/10 and can play wings.Seems a strange one this. Undoubtedly a really good player, but his skillset is too similar to Grealish. Are we taking a punt that he can be converted to be one of our central midfielders?
Gareth Southgate would upvote this.Obviously going to play wing backs this season like we're told every summer & he's going to play left wing back....
Alvarez or Nunes you’d think.Could he be a replacement for Alvarez?
can he play a striker, false 9 or whatever? because we would need a 2nd striker, i mean direct replacement if julian leaves, preferably a versatile one who could drop deeperCould he be a replacement for Alvarez?
Not necessarily we could revert to a false-nine system without Haaland and Eze could cover the minutes taken by Alvarez in the #10 position.can he play a striker, false 9 or whatever? because we would need a 2nd striker, i mean direct replacement if julian leaves, preferably a versatile one who could drop deeper

I might have totally missed him ever playing as an 8, but I can’t remember many games that he’s played there for Palace.He would be a central midfielder you’d think. He will be an 8/10 and can play wings.
but i mean who would be a 2nd striker then if eze can't play there because he's a midfielder. don't think bobb would play thereNot necessarily we could revert to a false-nine system without Haaland and Eze could cover the minutes taken by Alvarez in the #10 position.
Only question is whether you would rather Bobb take these minutes.
true , but don't think pep fancies going back to false 9 when we have actual strikers, that's why if alvarez leaves we should go for a 2nd strikerWe`re the best team in the world as a false nine as well mate! If the big man is out, we have plenty of options who can do that.
We are not short on the quota ,I don’t think unless someone English (apart from Kalv) leaves so why?No chance we’d be interested if he wasn’t English

He did his defensive work well for England, so he can track back, but on the wing.
It’s an expensive punt though!I’d think he could do that role though seems to have a good work rate.
