We are fortunate to have a very versatile squad with players who can play in multiple positions but I’d always choose having two for a position rather than not because if an injury or suspension crisis happens, it’s easier to put a direct replacement in rather than having to put someone in a position that they’re not as good in.
In the wide position I’d also be worried if we go in to the season with only Phillips, Burke and Leko. Burke and Leko are still young and raw whilst Phillips always goes through highs and lows. I’d feel more confident if we signed a replacement for McLean if he chooses to leave. If McLean stays then we may be adequate.
Palace want Livermore for £10 million. We want £15 million.
