First half of the season he flattered to deceive. Second have he was getting into the swing in a midfield three but the dropped back out. The West Ham and Newcastle games, together with his increase in confidence post injury and happiness to return makes at worth a shot. He will undoubtedly add depth to our midfield and gives us some flexibility. He can help us retain the ball at the end of games if we need to hang on to a result too.
His return will seemingly be a big boost for everyone, and post Chelsea, going into a run of important games where the season arguably starts for us could prove invaluable.
We know him and I reckon he can only get better so it’s a calculated gamble.
A lot also depends on what Gallagher is here to do and how he will cope in the premier league. I hope he will be outstanding but arguably he is a bigger gamble than Krov, but at least both players, together with the return of Field, give us some more tenacity and technical ability in our midfield to help Sawyers do his stuff and start running the game.
