I think Rashica potentially gives us more directness

and Gilmour obviously is a deep lying playmaker. So its perhaps indicative of a slight change in that Emi often had to drop deep to get the ball last season whereas i can see Rashica staying further up the picth alongside Pukki.

I could actually see us playing 4-3-3 with Cantwell and Rashica either side of Pukki and a midfield of Kenny, Gilmour and A N Other.
