He is a good 10, but he cant play 8. So you dont buy him. It's simple.
Moving forward if we play a 4231, then it has to be a starting 4 of:
Pepe-------Saka------Martinelli
-------------Auba
They have to play. You rotate ESR in for Saka or Martinelli. I wouldn't even buy anyone.
Pepe needs a full season. I'm talking 38 games, every game if he is fit. Martinelli, ESR and Saka need to be managed as they need the cup games also. However, they all need maximum minutes and game time. They have proven that they can be big game players and that they dont hide. They have all been match winners on separate occasions. So they need to play. Auba is cf, we need an alternative as a plan b and his back up is Martinelli or Balogun if he is ready, but he would be better off with a full season of football in the Championship.
