I agree with much of that. Regarding Knockaert, the big problem he has is a lack of pace. If he had that, he'd be an absolute nightmare. I think he's still getting used to the speed of the English league so there may be more to come.
Unfortunately, I'm not sure whether his mate Futacs will be here beyond January as his chances will be incredibly limited. He has put in one or two decent performances off the bench, but there must be a concern about his ability to play possession football - furthermore that his presence might hamper the rest of the team. If he does move, probably down a league, I wish him well.
Knockaert is 20 years old and the most creative player on our books. He'll only get better and I 'm not convinced he is lacking pace.
Don't suggest Waghorn playing midfield in a wider role. That's going backwards again for the bloke. He does his damage in a more central role.
It's unfortunate for Waggy because his best position appears to be the link up man in a 4-3-2-1 (4-5-1) but this would mean dropping Nugent which is never going to happen.
So, in a 4-4-2 Woods is likely to partner Nuge and Waggy would w an impact sub. In a 4-5-1, Nuge would prob start up top. Having said that, I think he's shown that he's not as dangerous in that formation.
There is still space for Waggy in the team, but I don't think he will start very often which is a shame for him.
Nuge and (probably) Woods a given in 4-4-2 but I beleive Waggy should be the 1 over Nugent if we go 5 in midfield. He is stronger than Nuge with his bak to goal.
