OK.

If this happens which seems likely... are we going for another CM ...a box to box 8..or Hackney-type / Waitrose Cajuste?
That's 3 defensive minded CMs with Azor, Tina and Lukic.

Is he the player who committed about 20 fouls against us without getting a booking?

A really good signing. Experienced, battle hardened and with plenty of top flight and international experience.

I think Lukic and Florentino could form a nice little partnership. People might point to a lack of creativity and I don't disagree, but having 2 tidy, industrious ball winners in there at a good age, that 'double pivot' could work well. I'd like to see us add an alternative option and think we will, but he's a player who will kick us on a level. Give us that solid base a la Rice & Anderson to let the Fatawu's and Enciso's 'cook' as the kids might say.

Possibly.
But that could also have been Alan Shearer who was allowed to foul with impunity whilst he was an England idol.

Good player, but a walking yellow card! So no wonder we need 3 in there lol

He'll be 30 by the start of the season, but this is a good pick up in my opinion. More PL experience is vital.

Has more to his game that just a pure CDM as well

Let's just hope the Encisco links turn out to be true.
All good teams start with a solid base, but fans love a flare player.

4-4-1-1
2 defensive CMs sitting in front of the back 4, wingers and No.10 allowed to freely move around to find space.

Or 4-4-2
With us pumping the ball long to a tall no9 without the need for a box to box CM.

An interesting one as I was hoping we were moving away from the double pivot, with a true 8 coming in.

But as you say two holding midfielders (from a strong 3 players) allows the front 4 or 3 a free license to roam

3 holding midfielders seems a bit excessive. Unless Matusiwa is set for a surprise departure?

GO said he wants maybe 2 more so hopefully the next one is a different sort of player but wont moan about a player of his experience.

Well, he got 9 in 19 games for Fulham last season! But no reds. One of those players who knows how to take it to the wire, without tripping over it.

31 year old 'pacy' winger Wes Burns has just signed a 3 year deal at Leicester.
30 is not very old in that number 6 position.

Don't think he's quite the 'anchor' that people are making him out to be either - still think we need a proper '8' in there but he's a better user of the ball than Matusiwa and Florentino.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

I think this might be the direction of travel.

Especially if we’re going to stick with three #10s as seems possible by the Enciso interest.

If we are often going to play 2 then 3 seems the right amount.

Don't think Azor will be going anywhere, he might also not be fit for the start of the season.

He isn’t as defensive as Azor and Luis. He has a bit more about him. Think GON will be very defensive minded to start with,he won’t want to get tonked early on. Then as the season unfolds we may open up a bit.

I am not sold on this to be honest. What is the plan after winning the ball? Maybe there is formation shift I am not thinking of.

I’d hoped we would be identifying gems. Apart from scherpen and Emersonn we seem to be signing players whose floors are ok but whose ceilings are fairly low.

It’s going to take some doing to make them more then the sum
Of the parts.

Not sure one would be necessary. We have Nunez, Taylor and Humphreys who can do that if called upon. It’s more important this season that we’re compact and hard to break down. Assuming we have a front four of Ueda, Maeda, Enciso and Fatawu, thats enough quality to do our attacking work (which will be minimal as a newly promoted team).

That's a bit harsh isn't it?

People have been crying out for depth, this is adding depth. He's played at a good level for a long time:

92 PL
151 Serie A
62 Caps
16 La Liga

Maybe not really exciting but probably what we need to build a squad.
