If anything, the gaps there are clearly less
In defense, the leader, Robergs, has left and while a replacement must be found, at least one more transfer needs to be made in each position. In attack, Ward's replacement is wanted, plus another winger, but also one more forward at least. At the same time, there are big questions regarding the stay of the main goalkeeper, Jovanovic, as well as Pitta, with the “sirens” from abroad having started.
So without implying that there is no need for reinforcement there (data will also acquire a midfielder), it is a fact that with all the existing data… the positions of the center are the ones that seem to need the least additions to Apollo.
We remind you that Bogdan Antone showed great trust in Hambo and Kohl, who were the duo in the center area, with the first being the main defensive midfielder in the counterattack of the last months and the second as box to box. It is certainly important that they each keep a contract and in general… their departure today seems like a big surprise, with their coach betting a lot on them.
However, it is noted that apart from them, midfield options are also Spoliaric, Iliev and Husain, at the same time that Psychas returns from his loan. After first being re-evaluated positively, the players in question will remain, thus giving more depth to the axis while reducing gaps in the roster. Ba is not included in the discussion, as he is out of the plans.
Of course, in all of the above we must note that the Romanian coach showed that he likes the use of three players in the center area, which is understood from alone “gives birth” to the need to acquire at least one more means capable of creating play. But the only thing that is certain is that in the first year… and with the data we have in front of us (in a transfer period everything must seem possible), it is expected that much more emphasis needs to be placed on the other positions, compared to the midfielders.
