Cody Gakpo

IF we did bring in Gakpo, who would he immediately replace in the starting line-up at the moment?

Think we need to get past the idea of a starting lineup.

If we have a combination of Kudus, Savio, Solanke, Marmoush, Tel, Gapko to select from there will be occasions where we play any of them depending on the opponent we play and their fitness.

Same applies to CB. Some games Danso is the better option as the opponent posses the greater Ariel threat. Other games we are going to have 70% possesion so you want van Hecke or Senesi playing.

That’s just not how it goes though is it? There will be the starters and the bench. Some will play instead and in games but for the majority the best players will stay on.

DeZerbi would rotate his goalkeepers depending on the opponent at Brighton.
 
We only have 40 games, not 60, this year. And already 3 too many players to be able to name in our squad

Worth looking at our first season with Ange when we had no UEFA football. We had a sizeable squad but couldn't get our best eleven out on the pitch. There was plenty of space for everyone to play.

Why would this season be any different?

Show me a full season where we get over these injury issues and I might move to your side of the fence on this one.
