Problem - Lack of goals from midfield

[Eboue's Boutique]

We should have prioritised the creative no.8. It was the most important upgrade we needed.

Yeah I was hoping for someone that could both play beside Partey in a pivot but also be a bit more creative semi-near the box. A Locatelli or that brazilian bloke in Lyon who can run past people too. Perhaps preferably someone capable of being a bit front footed and better at being aggressive to win the ball than Xhaka. I think they wanted to do that but didnt get near 20m from Roma for Xhaka and figured they better prio other areas than sell a player that's been alright (albeit frustrating to watch).

This Odegaard direction was pretty decent for much of last season, he looked great until he got injured with Norway.

What we're probably missing the most is a striker that opponents actually fears and scores more easily. We love to cross but not to attack crosses. Hoping Auba can get back to confidence and scoring ways unless we manage to sell and sign someone a bit bigger (like Tammy or Vlahovic from Fiorentina). I think Odegaard allows us to play a bit more centrally and less up the wings all the time.
