We haven't seen much of Traore either this season, agree with most of what you've said Bong (Ramsay, centre-half cover, RB cover, Buendia's recent form). Sanson is a very good footballer and there is now good competition which we will need if we are to stay the course over a season & compete in Europe.

I feel a bit sorry for Ings to be honest, his movement is excellent and he's good at the one touch stuff, him & Ollie just don't gel but it does give us options up front. Ings should start against sides outside of the top 6 or 7, he's a deadly finisher and with Coutinho & Buendia behind him plus the quality of Digne we will score goals. Ollie starts in the bigger games and pack the midfield, keep it tight then Ings off the bench if we're still in it with 30 left.

We need a midfield general, and I think Trez will be gone by the end of the month.
