I’ve seen enough IMO over 5 games to see Krov doesn’t have that goal scoring instinct to gamble and make runs into box. He won’t score enough goals to justify that No. 10 role.

I genuinely believe he could play as a double pivot alongside Sawyers, which would allow us to play an extra attacker

I don't think Willock is a serious squad option this year. If he was he'd have made an appearance by now. I think this one is a longer term one.

He’s on a seasons loan with no purchase option clause.

Oh, and the Pereira terms in the deal are off the scale

We have a £9m fee agreed for Pereira, right?
The way it's been structured is barmy, no wonder it took forever and a day to resolve
Lets just say there may well be some strange patterns with regards to how we use him later in the season dependent on our league position

You have clearly never experienced the thrill that holding a relatively unimportant piece of information over a bunch of strangers on the internet brings.

Agree Clem.
Think formation we are adopting 4231 is correct for the personnel we have. Can't see past Sawyers and Livermore as the 2 in midfield.
But in a system that employs 1 main striker, others have to score goals. Previously when we have adopted this system, most successfully under Clarke, we were spoilt for potential scorers. Not sure I see so many in this squad, but it is early days still and who knows how many goals a player like Diagawana or Edwards can score given the opportunity.
Hope it works out for Krovonovic not only he is a technically accomplished player, he does give the appearance of really wanting to and enjoying being at the club.
On Willock strange decision to bring him in if all he does is play for the under 23s, but still it is very early days.
