Yes!
We smashed Champions Leicester 1-4 in their own backyard with Solly as the defensive midfielder. He has played there 5 times as well as playing CM 5 times too.

For me, it was Groß or Mooy although I had thought that we’d be more ‘first in, first out’ on that. I probably prefer Groß to be honest as his strengths are slightly different to Mooy and probably more valuable to us with the other players we now have.
However, with Alzate & Molumby looking so...
After Mooy leaving and today’s friendly, I’ve modified my midfielder requirements thoughts.
I think Molumby and Groß are in now.
Deep-Lying - 4 Players needed.
Bissouma
Alzate
Molumby
And 1 from:
Stephens (Replacement for Hendrick at Burnley. £8m?)
Pröpper (Ajax 2-4-1 PX?)
Sanders (Loan)...
I think you can split our midfield options roughly into ‘deep-lying’ and ‘forward thinking’.
I include wingers in this.
