I think the balance is off (just a little) in all three departments.

We, as I think you have said elsewhere, also sold the wrong CB. Guehi the better player, JA the better fit for what we need.

Of course a club with any ambition and one that wants to back the best manager they’ve had in a decade, goes out and gets both.

It feels like exactly what it is. A squad put together by different people, with different opinions. Glasner got his CB and Kamada and Dougie got his targets in Sarr and Nketiah. It appears neither considered how the parts would all fit together.

We needed another striker, there’s no doubt about that. But if we’re now saying JPM is the main option there (which is fair after his last 3 months) and we’re simply shoehorning Nketiah in somehow, I agree.

This is my thought. An alternative to Wharton? Maybe. Alongside him, no.

It’s early days. I’m yet to be convinced by any of the summer arrivals yet. Sarr been the pick of the bunch for me, perhaps because he came with the least fanfare.

I’d hope not. But either way, as you say, he’s an experienced player and international. I think I expected more, as did others. It’s still early days and I hope he comes good. But I do not see a place for him in English football in a two man midfield.

Also quite possibly a player that is currently, somehow, our highest earner.

Spot on. We’re playing him in a two, which is yet to work, on Saturday we played a midfielder as a CB, ahead of a CB and we’re persisting to play Nketiah in a position he looks wholly unsuited to as well. It’s been as poor a start to the season from OG as the end to last season was good.
