Fun little mental exercise I thought we can have while we wait for the Korea game.
Obviously we can't add any of them to our team but for the sake of the exercise lets imagine they have just been told they have Iranian blood.
Personally based on what I saw today vs Syria and the last few years of Team Melli... I would say we need a distributing high Center attacking midfielder who can link a ball-winning midfield and our major depth of attackers. We lose the ball a lot as we are just about to start an attack/counter in the first half of the oppositions field. For that reason I think having a Christian Eriksen type player would allow us to play the attacking football we want to see without losing our defensive shape. Our attackers tend to need a lot of chances so someone who could provide these would be ideal.
