Shame we couldn’t get Doyle back, but agree with you on one or the other from CityWe also lost Billy and Doyle.
Hamer and Souza certainly look more like what we needed in that central midfield as they provide much more protection for McAtee / Norwood than Berge did. Doyle was a loss in that respect but i think we were not going to be able to sign him permanently and couldn't loan two from City so it meant we had to look elsewhere
Actually thought that Souza was quieter, but fairly solid on Sat, i liken Hamer to a Berge replacement and i feel he gives us more defensively than Berge, but Berge, on the Hamer evidence so far, seemed better at not giving the ball away.
Ndiaye is still a loss but i really like the look of Archer.
Ndaiye is borderline irreplaceable - who can you liken to him?
Saka, Eze, MGW?
Archer is more a forward than a no10, but with service from Macca and Hamer I can see him getting 12-15 goals in a side nearer the bottom than top
I know all those recruits wouldn’t have come in had Ndaiye stayed
but how would a Souza, Hamer, McAfee, Ndaiye and Archer set up feel
