Indeed. Would seem it is. WBA still favourites to get his signature though unfortunately. Quote

Scored plenty from there at Gillingham. Maybe a slight trade off but would benefit the team as he fits into a system rather than the system being changed to accommodate him. Almost gives him a free role from deeper - so much harder to pick up when arriving in the box. Has the footballing brain to play some killer passes and a role based more on stamina than pace which should suit him. Not too dissimilar to Dunny. 2 Quote

I share the worries about how not playing him as a 10 might mean that we don't see Dack at his best, but if we're playing a standard 4-3-3 then in theory it could work out like you say. Like a Championship Frank Lampard. Quote

Like a Championship Frank Lampard. Mowbray changed the formation to accommodate Dack not playing. Armstrong needs the freedom to roam up front. Playing Holtby and Dack and the 4-3-3 becomes 4-1-2-1-2. We don't have the personnel to play a natural, standard 4-3-3. The Celtic player is probably McBride, who is another who looks like a faint breeze would blow over. Quote

Yeah he’d be good there, but we need his goals and guile up top. I’m loving BB and Armstrong but there isn’t a truly clinical finisher in the squad unless Dack gets in the box. Would still like to see a young goal-getter in the Rhian Brewster mould come in on loan once we’ve sorted permanent defenders - gives us the option to move Bradley around to get a grip on games if need be. I saw it as 4-1-2-1-2 too @Richard Oakley, and I started to like it. Before glass back Holtby got injured by a nudge. Edited August 30, 2020 by S8 & Blue Quote

Brewster would get us into playoff contention, no doubt for me. Unless Tm plays him on the wing. Quote

Perhaps, perhaps not. I think as number 10s go he already gets through quite a lot of work, and if he's the most attacking player in a midfield three then at least he wouldn't have the same defensive demands, but let's see. I think there's a chance of him playing deeper and him still having a real impact with his goals anyway, but time will tell if that's the road we go down. 1 Quote
