You figured out what Kinsky has been taking and gotten some for yourself?Oh I can't resist!
Right now, based on emotions and observations (so pinch of salt and all that...)
Kinsky
Porro Gray VdV Spence
Deki Bergy Sarr
Johnson Solanke Son
The biggest gamble there is Gray for Romero, and honestly it might be a bit mad because Christian is a great player. There's just something about Gray's in-game intelligence, decision-making and ability to prompt and pass which I think is elite. Equally, I accept Bergy in as the deeper player is also a gamble, but again, he is a player who looks to affect the game in all ways and is learning how to make the right decisions very quickly. I do worry about his propensity to dive in -and he will get a red or two before that lesson is learned - but there is something about that Kinsky/Gray/Bergvall spine which just excites me. A fearlessness which is gathering enormous maturity. Spence might find it harder against orthodox right-footed right-wingers, but with VdV there I think there's enough mitigation.
Sonny is in largely because we need another wide option.
it would leave us with a bench of...
Vic, Udogie, Maddison, Bentancur, Bissouma, Moore, Dragusin, and two open places for the Werner and Richy slots we want to fill next season. Maybe Odobert is one of those?
This is the chip a pass right over an opponents head in your debut in a cup semi two days after arriving at the club of posts.
(Really hope this comes across in the way it's intended).
