Osman is also predominantly left sided.
Like Mitoma...
and Adingra...
and Barco...
and Enciso (though he also plays centrally).
Basically our wings are lopsided, and so the seagulls will be flying in circles.
Agree, makes no sense to sell Mitoma (or Estupinan for that matter, in a similar situation) after an injury riddled inconsistent season.
Sell when their value is highest. That isn't now
If we reckon that Lamptey, Webster, Milner, Dahoud, Fati and Lallana are out the door then these are bodies in the squad that need replacing. Then there's the depth question for RW.
Osman in for Fati covers one of these. We also have thousands of attacking midfielders so perhaps don't need...
There comes a point though where either we bring Rushworth into the first team fold or sell him, and I think after a successful season in the Championship we're at that point. Remember that Beadle is also waiting in the wings and a couple of years younger.
Is he ready to compete with Verbruggen...
