Tbh i think Hleb would have been a good signing.
I like the system, 4:2:3:1 system, for me the 3 behind Gabby would be Ashley, Ireland and Albrighton.Now i don't think it is a good idea to play Albrighton for a full season, and Downing flatters to deceive.Hleb could have played in any of the 3 positions, so yes i think he would have been a good signing for us.
