We have ten Premier League starters who have already been replaced by new signings. And yes, we have included all the Chelsea forwards.
Every prospective January recruit to the Newcastle army was issued with the same warning; their peak usefulness might last but a few months and fail to extend beyond the summer, when the Magpies are able to replace them with even shinier trinkets from a deeper pool of availability. The verb-based centre-half partnership of Burn and Schar helped fuel a rise to mid-table safety yet something will have to give as the domineering spectre of Sven Botman looms.
Eddie Howe has confirmed that Jamaal Lascelles will remain Newcastle captain, even though the intricacies of that role will likely only be carried out in spirit. He has been bumped to fourth in the pecking order, with £35m addition Botman jumping to the head of the queue. The left-footed centre-half will be a more natural fit on one side, leaving former partners Burn and Schar to tussle for the last spot.
Max Lowe, Gaetan Bong and Jordi Osei-Tutu were all given runs on the left-hand side but it was reconstituted central midfielder Colback who filled in most often. The effort and attitude was never lacking but it was not a permanent Premier League solution to have a player not quite good enough for the division in his specialist position as a makeshift starter elsewhere.
The question is not whether he comes in but who for. Seven players started at least one Premier League game at centre-half for Everton in 2021/22, from Jonjoe Kenny and Jarrad Branthwaite to Michael Keane and Mason Holgate. One place might ordinarily be reserved for Yerry Mina but his fragility leaves that spot vulnerable and Tarkowski is lurking. Everton sorely need those vaunted leadership and organisational skills so someone will have to be sacrificed.
Reed was the more trusted of the two and it could be that a system tweak allows him to sneak into the starting line-up as a sort of mobile link between the deeper Palhinha and more advanced Pereira. But Silva might often prefer to bypass that middle man for greater numbers elsewhere. Reed and Cairney should still feature, but the former’s minutes in particularly will likely be reduced.Raheem Sterling is an upgrade on any attacker Chelsea care to present as a counterpoint.
