Milan Aleksic - Confirmed


At the moment it seems like Neil should be our '6' with Samed backup. Aleksic should be there or thereabouts challenging with Rigg in one of the '8' or '10' positions.

If we're going to sit off and counter, which could be very effective, imagine having the likes Isidor, Mayenda, Aleksic, Mundle/Watson breaking with Le Fee, Jobe and Neil feeding them. That's without mentioning Rigg and Roberts.
 
Id had a similar thought, but about Rigg. Could see him suited to the more advanced role.
I remember the data when we were first linked indicated that he wasn't great at tackling or tracking back, so he'd be seen as a bit of a luxury unless we have an enforcer to shore things up.

If Regis ever takes the handbrake off, I'd love to see him as a true number 10
 
Feels like it's very much a Mundle situation with Aleksic. Assuming Rigg and Bellingham go in the summer, he's straight in with hopefully the same impact Romain had..
I still don’t think Rigg leaving is a definitive, unlike Jobe he probably hasn’t outgrown the league yet so whilst he may develop elsewhere he wouldn’t get anywhere near the game time yet so if we’re still in the Championship I reckon he will be too.
 
Whilst I do see the merit of a Samed type player. Today was not the game for it. We needed as you suggested start with a more attack minded midfield.

That's two home games against bottom form clubs Regis starting lineup has been found wanting.

Saying all that though the chat would be diffetent if Wilson or Aleksic had put one of those guilt edge chances away.
Guilt edged?

He hasn't outgrown the league and I agree he needs another season but I think the offers in the summer will undoubtedly turn his head. I'm fully expecting a £50mil double sale of him and Jobe if we don't go up..
