Well, I don't know, but what do you reckon about an Eriksen return? I honestly don't know, but would be open to it.How does Conte replicate his midfield 3:
Eriksen -- BarellaUntil Jan at the earliest Conte will have to make do with his pound shop version.
Brozovic
I think Hojbjerg showed for Denmark that he can be effective in the Barella role if given license to go forward and he's probably got the best engine.
Ndombele is our most naturally creative outlet, though he's not capable of Eriksen- type numbers. That said he's the one I trust most to find the right passes in the attacking 3rd.
Then we get to the deepest position. Skipp for the tenacity and defensive awareness or Lo Celso for the technical quality and passing range.
Ndombele -- HojbjergThose that refuse to let Dele die have suggest maybe he can do the Barella role and yes he is nothing if not a runner. I have seen too many false dawns to bank on a Dele resurgence however.
Lo Celso
If we can get Brozovic in Jan we are cooking.
Did he and Conte work out their differences in the end? Originally Conte didn't want him, but then he started playing well and they won the league. Eriksen being available could be interesting, if the Premier league thinks he's healthy and OK to play.
