Krychowiak's arrival means Souza deal is now dead. There isn't an option to buy included in the loan, but still... that's some coup #wba

Well that's a shame as I was really hoping that we were going to bring them both in given their different positions and qualities.

If we are going to keep the 4-1-4-1 formation as our primary system then in my opinion we need to sign another central midfielder. We have Livermore, Morrison and Field for the two centre midfield positions but we could do with a quality addition. The only way around it is to have Krychowiak and Yacob as our defensive midfielders and then play Barry as a central midfielder in the same mould as Fletcher.

We still have Chadli, and others who can play through the centre, I mentioned Burke playing up front, but he can play pretty much anywhere from the midfield forward, McClean can plat in an inside left position (sorry to everyone under 45 for the phrase) Brunt can also play in that position, Philips can play inside right. It strikes me though looking at the signings being brought in that TP is putting together a team with similarities to "his" Palace side. A solid defence than pace on the counter, would work for me
