striker, or just getting an awkward defensive position to take advantage of.
We have the form and players but we lack squad depth and we need to offload some players e.g. Per mertersacker, arterta, rosisky, and flamini and the west brom match has proven that coquelin is no machine he's human so he needs a good

midfield plus we also need a winger and another proven
striker to also
