Could NML solve our striking crises by playing upfront next season. He was power, pace, good in the air and is a good finisher. If we played 2 upfront the maybe play Murphy alongside him and Reid behind the pair.
What about Paterson and Petier as holding midfielders, nether would be bullied both solid in the tackle and good in the air, Reid would be the playmaker.
Why do we need a new right back as we currently have Richard, Bacuna and Coxe?
No
There are so many things wrong with this post
Did any of you watch the attacking build up for 95% of last season?
There wasn't any.
My favourite ridiculous lineup suggestion from this message board was a central midfield pairing of Darcy Blake and Kevin McNaughton back in the Dave Jones era when McPhail was in his pomp.
This comes close.
Why do you think Peltier would make a good defensive midfielder?
What have you seen in Paterson's play that makes you think he would? I doubt we'll ever see Bamba played there again either.
Is NML really 'good in the air'? I think I missed that.
However, I agree that (for the Championship) we do have options at right back - Peltier, Richards, Bacuna, Coxe - and that there may be alternative striker options in the squad. I haven't seen much evidence of NML being strong in the air, nor the ball control needed to play as a centre forward, but maybe he could adapt and show us something new. Blakey spent a lot of last season advocating Murphy as a makeshift striker (with Reid and/or Paterson behind) when he lost patience with Zohore.
Personally I hope we get a new striker in to compete with Zohore and Ward (moving Healey and Madine on) with Reid or Paterson behind supported by two out and out wingers. NML, Murphy, Hoilett and Harris (or A.N.Other) will do fine.
Lets put Morrison in goals while we're at it
NML is at his best with space to knock the ball into.
Striker no.
You've successfully discovered the one position that is totally unsuitable for Paterson.
Why the hell, before the season has even started, are we looking to put square pegs in round holes?
Injury crisis fair enough, you look at your options, but it’s 12 weeks before the transfer window shuts and some want us to just juggle half the team about into alien positions.
