Interesting to see what the impact of going to 3-5-2 has on the squad and recruitment. All of a sudden, DJ injury not so damaging, where would he play if fit? Ditto Willy, though I guess he could feasibly play a 10 role akin to Okafor. Piroe all of a sudden has more chance as cover for the 2 amigos.
Can't see BA fitting and JH no chance imo. JJ and Sam now more vital as cover at wing back and Bornauw now is important for back 3. definitely need a quality striker, no wingers required. Mid looks well supported, another CB maybe. Intriguing times!

We usually play better/ get results without him. Stick to what has been playing unless injuries play a part.

Piroe in my opinion can't play in this system doesn't have the physicality, I'd sell him in January if the right offer came in.

Sell Gnonto meslier Piroe and Byram. Sell Harrison if we can.
Buy a versatile JJ style wing back, another midfielder and a striker/ CF.
Don't buy premier league fannies. Buy some European hard nut like Stach, some terrifying looking big bugger who puts the shits up the opponents.

Erm, sell Byram? Honestly?
Aside from the nonsense, he's still worth having as a squad player.

Sell Mes and JH by all means, if customers can be found, but don't expect to get much for them.
So where do we need to recruit? We've got 2 GKs, 3 decent wing backs plus SB as an emergency spare, 4 CBs and 5 DM/ CMs, so we're reasonably covered in those areas. What we need most is a half decent striker to mix and match with Nmecha and DCL and a No10/ AM to finally fill the void left by Pablo.
If we can't do that (and that's unlikely in the Jan window) I'd keep Piroe and Gnonto unless we get offerz that are hard to refuse. And if anyone makes an offer for Harry Gray, tell them to go forth and multiply!

Sell Byram if we're buying an upgrade. He can't cut it at this level. Let him go tear it up in the champo.
