He's not a creative number 10 though

I think he's great, but not convinced he's going to unpick tightly packed defences.

Or putting it a different way, all these players were available to us second half of last season, and on a number of occasions we struggled to break down packed defences. If we're up against the same next season, and if we're hoping to challenge for autos that will be even more than this season, how are we going to deal with that challenge?

Adding a pacey winger doesn't do much if there's no space to run into.
