[WBA-Josh]

If AM-N has come to the Albion because he has been given assurances about playing in midfield then I have to question why we have signed him. With Yokuşlu we are not exactly short in midfield now.

The defence will have been left without improvement and we'll still only have 1 actual right back in the squad. It's all well and good creating a strong midfield but the defence is still lacking in quality especially at full-back, the position that AM-N has spent the past 3 seasons playing at.

As for suggestions for using AM-N in midfield, he could be used on the right side of midfield in a 4411, on the left side of midfield in a 4411, on the right or left side of a central 3 or as part of a central 2. The first two options would mean Snodgrass probably on the other wing which I'm not keen on (If Snodgrass is on one wing then on the other has to be Diangana or Robinson so we have some pace), the third option would mean Pereira having to play on the right wing which doesn't get the best out of him and the the fourth would probably mean AM-N and Yokuşlu playing together, which sounds good on paper, but would mean no Captain Livermore in the team.
