I think these days someone like Gibbs-White at Forest and closer to home May at AFC are the best examples. High pressing, just behind the big striker, can head back to midfield to get things moving, but can carry the ball forward while also having the ability to score from both outside and inside the box.
I think his comment was about Singh. I just don’t know in recent times if he has the stamina to play the press and also his ability to find the back of the net is lacking.

Yeh I was going to reply to that. Almost all of our players can move the ball crisply and certainly, depending on the starters, perhaps only the CB are unlikely to be able to play an incisive attacking pass. We can keep the tempo going with the players we have and create chances (edit:)without Singh in the AWs these days.
That creative, attacking midfielder could start on either wing, behind a striker or next to Rufer in a midfield 3 potentially…Gibbs-White is more of a passer and May more of a distance shot savant, though Gibbs-White gets his share of headers too.
But just in terms of the player we intend to sign, they don’t have to be sit in the traditional 10 position type player, but they do need to create and score goals.
