If we do sign Keita. where does he play? Hendo is captain and best in that role, if couts is moved to midfield and you assume mane and salah start. would that mean benching lallana and wiki!? Like know we have games but still means they'd start the vast majority of them.

Having a few different options is a great 'problem' to have, especially with increased games and injury concerns.

We missed Hendo for large portions of last season, and it cost us. Also, losing Mane and Couts to injuries at different times.

Add Keita and Salah into the 3-3 of our 4-3-3 and suddenly you have great options, both to cover absences and also to breakdown the less expansive teams as we did last season.

Its not like we have a dozen players competing for 2 roles, I believe Salah and Keita (if/ when he joins) strengthen both our squad and our first team, therefore I am happy.

In my eyes Hendo v can will be the tough call. Coutinho and kieta will be first choice. With Wijnaldum and Lallana in and out backup. Seriously exciting options. Must keep philippe though. He will still be our maestro talisman.
