Re: Loum Tchaouma
Looks a talent and I think the club are trying to figure out his position. I know he came to the club with a bit of a “he can play anywhere across the front line”, but I think Parker sees him as a Hannibal type player.

I think when Borja is fit and I have said it before would play Foster as one of the wide men as our wingers have not looked threatening in two games now Honestly I would probably play foster in ten.

Re: THE SUPER CLARETS vs The Black Cats ~ Match Thread
I like Hannibal and I can see what he offers us off the ball but he’s so incredibly limited in possession. I’m starting to think a creative number 10 could be a fairly important position that needs filling from the 2 games we have seen so far.

Apart from the two relegation seasons since Dyche took over, we weren't involved in relegation fights.

This is the best situation for everyone. Goes on loan plays regularly and hopefully becomes a better player. We then either sell him for big money or he integrates back into the team.

Hope so. Seems really odd that we've got two defenders who've played more league minutes this season than last season.

Exactly my thoughts. Think it’s more tweaks to personnel in the 11 (Ugochukwu, Roberts/Tuanzebe and possibly Larsen/Tchaouna for more goal threat than Hannibal, though he was also part of our impressive off the ball work). You ‘could’ also go with Larsen as a hybrid right wing back / winger for Son...

Props to city they look like they might have made the signing of the summer with that lad. Looks a top top player.
