Pretty sure Ben White has played in that position and played really well.
Although, I thought he was only right footed.

SULLY COULDNT SHOOT
Loyal2Family+Albion!
Although versatile not our highest priority...
1) LWB
2) Striker
3) Goalkeeper to challenge Ryan OR pacey creative midfielder
4) see 3.

If Izquierdo is not up to speed, I really think we should be looking for a replacement such Diatta.

Not seen such Bravery!
I'd say that LWB is a lower priority than striker.
If we have to wait until January then Burn/Bernardo/March won't let us down.

According to the Moose this morning Maitland Niles to Wolverhampton is far from done, still a long way off on wages from what Wolverhampton have offered and what AMN is expecting, still time for us to hijack the deal.

I like the look of AMN as a player, can play several positions and looks a real talent.
However at £20m and at a time when we are overstocked in midfield I don’t think it’s one that’s worth breaking the bank over.
I’d genuinely really like to see Alzate, Biss and Mac Allister get the chance to push for those positions this season and spend our money on a LB (Rico Henry) and another striker (Núñez)

Definitely - I’d even forgo any other signing for a quality striker to replace Murray.

I would say two strikers we are two injuries away from a disaster.
Yeah because what we will pay as wages dwarfs what Wolves pay
Exactly. AMN is undoubtedly a good player, and on the right terms would be a great signing, but I certainly wouldn’t break our wage structure.
Personally, I’d like Cochrane to be given a chance at LWB, very promising when I’ve seen him for U23s.

Disaster? Oh FFS - it's hard enough getting one, as we well know, and as for two, well we're not Man. City or Chelsea.
That’s fair as well. Whether we have sufficient funds is another issue.

We have only 12 premier league matches between the close of the summer transfer window and the start of January.
If we can get our first choice now then great. But if we can't, it makes sense to wait and see where we stand at Christmas, both on the pitch and beyond.
We currently have a better squad than last season, and can afford to be patient.
We may have a better squad overall, but I simply do not agree re the forwards, an ageing Murray is not the answer, and without that style of player we are are very one dimensional in our options.
I think it is vital we sign a Murray replacement this window. Otherwise it will be difficult to sustain the continued improvement.

I agree we need to sort out Murray's successor , but its more important than ever to get this one right.
Past mistakes have been too costly, we can't afford to get it wrong again.
It is, but we’ve been struggling with this since we entered the PL.
We need to pay top dollar and invest properly rather than speculative punts on players like Locadia.
It still could be the wrong player even then, but we’ve tried.

Even investing heavily doesn’t necessarily solve it. Brighton are just one of many clubs in need of another striker. Newcastle tried to solve their attack with a £40M Joelinton.

We still have Andone. any news on that?
I agree, but I’d take Joelnton over the likes Locadia. I’d rather have a punt at a forward rather than a LWB.

Loelinton? Better keep the £40M in the piggy bank and stick with Maupay and Connolly.
