So assuming Boufal and Tadic going, and Ely, as i will call him, is coming. that leaves our current supporting 3 And cover as : LM: Ely Redmond Sims AM: Armstrong Davis JWP Hesketh RM: JWP Sims Redmond
I had an urge to add Hojbjerg and Lemina to the AM cover to prove the point I made earlier but decided not to.
I don't see Lemina as an AM really. I think he's a box to box who will naturally get forward more in certain games, but I would say playing him too far forward negates some of his best attributes.
Flt said we had been waiting for an AM for a long time RE Stuart. I said Stuart is apparently seen by Celtic fans as a box to box CM rather than AM and that we had 4 other midfielders who can play that position. Decided for this to just list the players who play in the AM position regularly to avoid the discussion but it looks like that failed
Be interesting to know when we first made a firm move this summer, given that recently it’s taken far too long to get players in. Deals starting to seem like they’re moving quicker and a shorter process overall. Wonder who’s pushing it - Les on way out?
