Wonder if there will be a resurgence in number 10's at some stage? These things tend to go in cycles.
Yeah, there certainly will be a resurgence. Like you said, football is an everlasting cycle. 4-4-2 was once deemed redundant, now many a team play it. 3 at the back was one of the most uncommon formations, now loads of teams use that system.
It’s the same with positions. Out and out strikers (numbers 9’s) were seen as a thing of the past, but when you take a look around there’s a bunch of young poachers up and coming. Luka Jovic, Alexander Isak, Nicolo Zaniolo etc. These guys are pure killers in front of goal.
There’s always room for a number 10 in your team. I don’t think we’ll sell Özil but I’d like to keep him. I wanna see;
Auba
X Özil x
As an attack. (X’s being new wide players. Genuine wide players with quality.)
