But have to just give them a bit of rope even just put of hope more than anything and judge at the end of the window I think.

As far as I am concerned we have no suitable right backs at the club at this moment. I would like that addressed badly. CM I would like addressed. Lb I would like addressed. Wingers I would like addressed.

Don’t necessarily see this as another Danjuma. Danjuma was a bit selfish and wasteful in attack in addition to not doing the work without the ball Dyche demands. He was always a weird fit and was never going to play regularly. It felt very much like a “we already know him, he’s available again, let’s get him” and not so much of an intentional choice for the team.

Lindstrøm seems to have more of the attributes that will actually get him on the pitch.

Big question here is who plays centrally if both he and Ndiaye are most comfortable there. This also increases the urgency of adding a more natural right winger like Gnonto. Also makes you wonder why a team with deficiencies at right back, centre mid, and centre forward is bothering to use so much of its budget on creative attacking players when there are suitable (albeit a bit awkward) options for those positions.

We essentially have brought in a couple of players who can play either wing or in the Doucs role, meaning we no longer have to flog McNeil and Doucoure to death, and have no way of playing if one or both is out injured or out of form.

Maybe neither is a natural winger but both can play there fairly comfortably and hopefully means we never see Young or Garner out there again.

Ideally we bring in Gnoto too for some real width, but if not it'll still mean we've a much more functional attacking set up than we had last season.

Will be an even stranger loan if we also move for Gnonto.
