I was wondering if he could play both in the same team, If EM persists with 4-2-3-1 the selection may cause a problem unless Maresca rotates which I am not a great advocate of as it is difficult to adjust and players don't get used to each others game if you keep changing the sides.

Ah, I see.. well I don’t actually since I’m rubbish at tactics. 🤣
 
More nonsense from the BBC, Semenyo for a start scored 17 goals in the Prem last season,and Fodeno has done well as a 9 in the past to name but two options. I reckon cheeky Cherki would also be OK up front in the middle. They have to post something I suppose.

Man City transfer news: New midfield but major Haaland gamble

Manchester City have completed a squad overhaul including a fully revamped midfield to the tune of a Premier League record £458m, but that eyewatering number does not tell the full story.

I can see Maresca operating a more fluid midfield system for sure & right now I don’t think anyone knows what his best/first pick side would be. With Marmoush going I was surprised that Mubuma was sent out on loa. His cameo’s during pre-season seemed to offer prospect as a back to Haaland and although there is some versatility to fill in for the big man the absence of a direct replacement has to be a bit of a concern.
