I agree. I'm not sure if Laca's ever missed one. I have a feeling he did, but can't remember it.
I fear Pépé's finished with us. Which is sad, especially at 70mil. He has so much potential, but I think his skill is basically being the main man in a counter-attacking team.
I really think the squad needs a Santi - someone who can play 8, 10 or either wing. With Gabby able to play wide or central, we really need another no.10 who can play on either flank as well.
Strange it's taken so long to play LaK7 as a 10 behind Auba. I remember when Stevie Bould did a presser when AW was ill saying Laca was a real footballer who could play as a no.10. I guess we had Mesut then so AW wasn't gonna try it.
Btw, AMN looked decent to me. I know the first XI needs a MF to replace Granit who can either create and destroy like Partey {or PV4} or someone like Santi or TR7 who can play in a 2-man MF while also creating like a no.10.
But AMN looks like a decent cover for Partey and Sambi. Do you reckon AMN could work next to Partey, or do we need someone with a bit more creativity? I'd so love him to come good. His attitude has always impressed me, and I'd love another born and bred Gooner in the starting XI.
