Trarore has the makings of a monster. In the right hands.
Yep, knows the PL, he would provide tremendous counter attacking speed and a real physical presence in the last third, worries the hell out of defenders, not the finished article i accept...sadly seems he wants champions league but we live in hopeQuote:

Hope we get at least one more given the outgoings but if not then maybe that means he is going to use more of the u23 - Greenwood seems to be getting first team friendly game time.
If we don't get a centre midfielder in I'd be very worried, I have full faith in Bielsa getting the most out of players but without someone in there I see us struggling.Quote:

For me we still need 3 players- Box to Box centre mid for the starting 11, back up defensive mid for Phillips (maybe a younger kid), Back up winger (and sell Costa or loan him out)
I hear you but think it will be more likely another two at most. I agree midfield is one key injury away from being worrying.Quote:

I'd be happy with two as long as our young wingers are capable of stepping up when needed like Summerville, Gelhardt, Poveda etc as I've not much faith in Costa.Quote:

Annoyingly the best player i've seen so far is Cresswell and that is one position we have an abundance, though the young kid Lewis Bate did look very good once he got into the game
Agreed - Cresswell looks to have it all - and thought Charlie Allan looked good too to say he is only 17 - looks to have filled out a bit physically.
Drameh looks like a Rolls Royce when in full flow going forward hope that translates to his next step up too.
I've liked Drameh but seen him getting mugged off quite a bit defensively which is why I think he isn't making the step upQuote:
