If Sam is fully fit soon and starts all matches afterwards who will he replace in the current system, and how will the system change. I don't know enough about him but the hype suggests once he starts matches he will be our better player than most of the midfield. Will Woods be moved further back to the defence or will Clucas sit behind the front three in a diamond shape??????

I can see him taking Etebo's place.

Wonder if we may try to flog Etebo in January?
We paid over 6 million quid for him and he's on one of those 5 year deals we give out like confetti and perhaps on that basis alone he may be another one we can't even give away.
A loan perhaps if anyone wants him...?

I would like to see more of Etebo as a left winger, more skills than McClean and just as quick too.

I fear that when Clucas is fit, it will be another nail in the coffin that is Bojans career

By January there will be a number of Premier League clubs looking for players to either seal a place in the CL or avoid relegation and willing to spend silly money.

Sam Clucas has done nothing to see him automatically replace Etebo, other than being a Rowett signing, which I guess almost guarantees him a start. Why not get rid of Adam and Fletcher and then enjoy the four good midfielders we have battling it out. They will all play a lot of games one way or another.

ETEBO is class and should stay imo

Well my personal opinion is he has been at best patchy and the jury is still out on him. What prompted my post though is 'absolution's' well noted observation above that he ranks just one small step above Bojan in Gary's 'players I wish I didn't have to consider' list.

I can see a midfield three of Allen Woods Clucas and a front three of Ince Afobe McClean when all fit.....delivering absolutely zip creativity, but hey we probably won't concede many.

Etebo has no end product. Clucas will comfortably take his place in the team

Get rid of Joe Allen!! Decent player yes but he doesn't fit our system

Post by cobhamstokey on Nov 16, 2018 19:05:57 GMT
it’s a tricky one. I’d play Clucas because he gives us more physicality
I’d either play him LB or CM in place of either Allen or Etebo
I’d play with a 4312 something like
........................Jack.................... Edwards.....Ash......Indi........Eric .......................Woods................. ..........Allen..................Clucas.... ....................Ince or Bojan.......... ...............Afobe.....Berahino.......

Can see Allen attracting bids but not Butland as I can't see which club would want him in January.

Etebo surely will see his game time limited. He has got to learn when release the ball and shoot. His end product is awful

Etebo will not be going anywhere. Clucas can fit in anywhere even at the back. Useful in many positions

He's athletic enough to do it. Totally agree mate he is. I do think we will see a better Etebo next season when he’s settled into the English game more. His athleticism of winning the ball and then playing simple would be huge
