How about Mozza playing the number 10 roll in behind Berahino ?
He always looks a good link between midfield and up front ?

That is unless Saido is off to Spurs...

James McLean appears to have something of an attitude. I think TP has a job on his hands, poor tackle last night from all accounts.

Can anyone tell me exactly what this number 10 role is?
Because if it's an attacking midfielder, we've got more than one 'number 10'.
Bobby Hope wore number 10 for Albion but at the end of the day he was just another one of our midfielders alongside the likes of Tony Brown and Asa Hartford.

The number 10 role has come to signify a playmaker acting as part-midfielder, part-striker, i.e. Kaka, Robinho, Messi, Fabregas, Neymar, or going back further, Maradona and Pele.  Obviously it started out as more of a South American & European thing; in this country, we tended to like our number 10s to be good support strikers who could form a prolific partnership with the number 9.

....always like to see Mozza playing at the front of midfield rather than further back - I think he's easy on the ball and runs at defenders more than when playing deeper. Agree that his link up play is one of his strengths too

Drewks,
Exactly what I'm thinking, he always seems to play well when given an attacking role and with the 2 central midfielders sorted and wingers coming in Mozza is playing too well to drop.
He went through a sticky spell but fair play he was excellent last season and really made me eat my words.

I agree. I would like to see Yacob and Fletcher in the centre of midfield with McManaman and Sako (if he signs) or McLean out wide and Morrison supporting Berahino. That in my opinion would give us a good balance between attack and defence.

Josh,
Yep that would be looking like a good midfield and in the short term Rickie Lambert up front IF we do sell Berahino but if he does go it's got to be £20 million + so surely we could get Austin in ?
Just need to get the full backs sorted and possibly another centre half.

[May68]

Full backs already sorted. When Chester signs we'll then have 5 centre-halves to potentially play there.

The best '10' that the Prem has seen has got to be Bergkamp
