Think come summer we should let song go and go all out for a striker and a complete center mid. At the moment we have Noble song and Obiang who all play different roles. We need someone who is more complete then them. Someone who plays like he has both roles in his mind when playing. That way you can sacrifice one of the CDM's for a more attacking player

True, I think Kouyate as 50/50 as he is needs to be in the team at the moment. Gotta say Obiang is a decent player but being honest Im not sure what his best position is. He plays to far up to be a defensive mid and plays to deep to be an attacking mid but doesn't have the legs for the box to box role. Wouldnt't surprise me if he was let go to be honest

Didn't see much of the game Fred but even without this game noble offers a lot more than people think and also different things than others. He is rightly very much a part of the team/ squad, like I have said before. That doesn't mean I think he is perfect but ATM I don't doubt him anymore than I do our other midfielders and feel the expression "noble gets in above better players" totally misjudged. Just because he isn't flavour of the month doesn't mean he offers the team nothing.

I think it wouldve helped Payet out having someone else you can give the ball to. I liked Zarate but as I said previously his biggest issue was Inconsistency. He looked like he was finally becoming a team player then reverted back to old ways.
