It says Sunderland and Sheff Weds are also both interested in him. Could this be the FL factor at work?

Same with Schlupp and Blackburn being interested in him.

I read with Schlupp that we were prepared to offer something longer term at the end of the season

Would signing him suggest Lampard is keen to revert to 4 3 3 despite the absentees?

Apparently Haaland signing a new contract with Man City was close as he heard FL was interested. Why would FL be a huge pull, hardly Pep or Klopp is he .

Keeping expectations low but it will be nice to have more pace in attack and some excitement off the bench.

How much excitement do you want off the bench? We already have Raphael.

Lampard was saying yesterday he really likes Sakamoto, but that he hasn't really been able to fit into the system we are currently playing at the moment, so maybe he is wanting to go back to 433 soonish.

I think the 5 at the back has worked pretty well, especially defensively

Maybe a 4-3-3 at home or winnable games last Plymouth and a 5-3-2 on the road. Think Brentford do this quite well in the prem

That would be even more quality, £2m is peanuts if he’s any good.

Rangers fans reckon he’s on £32k/wk though we reckon Binks is on £30k so…

They've done ok in a 5, but I don't know how i feel about Lati or Binks in a back 4. Well i do know actually, not great
Has to be Thomas and Kitching if you are going that route imo.

If his medical takes as long as Paterson's then hopefully he'll be ready for the busy fixtures period around Boxing Day

What is the plan with him? He's predominantly played left wing but cover right wing.

Would you rather work under someone who's got 3 Premier League titles, 4 FA Cups, 1 Champions League, 1 Europa League, Premier League Player of Season award, a UEFA midfielder of the year award under his belt (amongst others) and widely regarded as one of the best midfielders of his generation and one of the best ever to play in the Premier League or John Eustace??

Yes, he's not Pep or Klopp but players would still be keen to work with someone of his caliber, over other managers in the Championship.

he'll be right wing competing with Saka, 2 different types of winger as well.

Opposition defences will not look forward to the prospect of having to cope with the pace of MVE & Matondo on that side of the pitch.
