Gives me Gomez/Konsa vibes. Might be short stature, but can play anywhere in the backline. Leader at Palace and England international, technically very good at carrying and passing. Feels like a deal too good to pass up. In a vacuum, i'm happy, but would love to have Konate situation sorted.

Unfortunately, we'll never replace Gini, he was such a unique ball retainer. I'm afraid Szobo doesn't have the same skill, but he is a great runner. Alexis, for me, should be further up the pitch, orchestrating the attack. His IQ and vision are world class, better than Szobo.

Would be interesting to see how this changes our midfield and who we target at DM. I feel like Szoboszlai will take on more of a Henderson pressing role to win the ball back with Frimpong up the pitch, and leave Mac Allister in a more advanced role to link up with the front 3.

Gravenberch has been really poor. Not physically strong enough to help the back line defend.
