A defender with 7 for a shirt number? Not sure how I feel about that. But then again, is a modern right wingback now the closest thing to a traditional 7 anyway?

Arsenal fans seem to rate him highly. Some were saying he should’ve been their second choice. Said he’s like Wan-Bissaka who can actually go forward. Only critique is that he can be a bit rash sometimes.

Well Kane's surely gone now, isn't he?

Appreciate this is the market we're in, but we're not exactly going for experience to help out Doyle and Panzo with this signing. Hopefully future ones do that instead...

Is this the lad that tore us apart earlier on in the year?
Or am I thinking of someone else…possibly from another team!
No, that was the lad that Arsenal signed from Hednesford I think... can't remember his name.. got injured shortly after we played them...

Brooke Dion Nelson Norton-Cuffy is his full name, I am sure we will not be vulgar and shorten it (much) He was also in the England u19s that won the euros. Looks like a great signing for the rest of the season.

Kid looks great on that YT vid...ball skills and pace of a winger going forward, and strength and tackling of a defender.
Promising signing, which presumably leaves Burroughs to revert to left wing back cover ?
Or Burroughs to go out on loan for some regular football for half a season, and push for proper first team next season?

Wingback isn’t a defender. It’s a midfielder. We play 3421 not 5221.

I will die on this hill.
So in that formation who wears what number?

If you have the WB's taking the 7 and 11 of wingers, who are the 2 and 3?

CB 2,3,4
WB 7, 11
DCM 5,6
AM 8, 10
ST 9

Personally I'd prefer
CB 4, 5, 6
WB 2, 3
CM 7, 8
ACM 10, 11
ST 9

Not that it matters these days.
