I maybe on my own on this but considering we've had problems at the ST position for a while and although Hazard at ST has been working, he clearly likes it better out wide, i'd love to see Sarri give Ruben a go at the ST position. Personally he's our 2nd best attacking player behind Hazard, but since Sarri prefers Kova in the Midfield because of his work rate and his ability to read the game better, why not? . He has all the attributes to be a world beater there.
His physicality and the way he uses his body to go past players is incredible, his eye for goal has been much better this season and his link up play (especially with Hazard) is brilliant. He does have a tendency to "over do it" when he goes on those mazy runs, something Sarri doesn't like, so at least if he done such a thing at ST it wouldn't be anywhere near as bad as doing it in midfield.
We need another attacking player in this team that can pull defenders out like Hazard and Ruben is the only one that's been capable of doing it. It's not like we'd be losing goals replacing him for Willian, Hazard, Ruben and Pedro as our front three and bring Giroud of the bench if needed. Personally i think this would work wonders and would allow Hazard to flourish even more. What do you think?

I agree. I think that RLC needs to be tried further forward more often, and in regards to Hazard, I think he is best when he is coming from a wide or deeper position.

I agree - I've been posting for a while that we should try RLC in the false 9 position - it would also overcome his lack of defensive ability which will stop him becoming a Worldy in midfield.

1) striker
2) right forward / winger
3) balling playing CB
4) goal scoring / creative midfielder
5) Left back
These are priorities and I'd say in this order, come January / summer
Drinkwater Bakyoko Moses Zappacosta morata Giroud luiz Willian Pedro Cesc I imagine will be last season at club. Plus some of the regular loans, piazon kalas Nathan if still at club, Michy maybe? Don't know if Sarri has place for him, we can spend some serious serious money with a lot of it from player sales, Reece James ola Aina has good loans playing regularly so a spot on bench is good enough for me, CHO I'd love to see him at Dortmund used in a deal to get some actual experience, Abraham if I'd like to see as 3rd choice but I prefer Callum Wilson and Sarri maybe only likes one striker on bench, mason mount I'd like to stay with derby ( if they get promoted ) and get some Premier League experience, Ampadu I'd keep, seems really mature and I like him. I like Christensen too but doesn't look aggressive enough but is such a good passer of the ball, left back Alonso just looks really low in confidence so bottom of priority list,

Matt, maybe the situation that dictates our in and outs in January could be the clubs assessment of a transfer ban!

Hello Ed001 hope you are well.
Are you aware of any interest in Immobile from Chelsea and what are your thoughts on him as a striker. I’ve only seen a couple matches myself and thought he looked pretty average but his scoring record looks very impressive.
Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - I have not heard of any interest from Chelsea. I have only seen him once and he looked like his name summed him up but that was when he was in Germany.}
