Anyone else wondering how we fit Doucoure, Allan and Gomes in the same side? Can only see it if CA switches to a 3 up top with Ricci on the left again, DCL middle and JR on the right but we saw the benefit of DCL in a pair. Maybe a diamond with JR behind the strikers but then we're reliant on fullbacks being the only width and no place for Iwobi, Bernard etc who are amongst highest earners but not starting. Can't see either being moved on in this window. Guess it's a nice problem to have if the money ain't mine.

I was thinking we could play 4-3-3 narrow, but when attacking, the full backs push up and Allan drops back so it would be like 3-4-3, Carlo used that a few times last season.

Gomes may be on the bench.

I’m not sure we will have James for the entire season. He tends to pick up injuries. So we will need options. And of course competition.

Don't think I could leave Gomes out. I think he's suffered more than most with the lack of quality, fight and pace in the middle. He was immense with Gueye and my mouth does water with him, Doucoure and Allan as a trio. Should be a match for most midfields. Bring on Romero next and get a few out.
