Irvine played with a number 10, Sessegnon is the best number 10 at this club. Pulis doesn't, hence why Sess doesn't play and why we won't be signing any number 10's whilst Pulis is manager.

Just what is this number 10 role? People have tried to explain it, and to be honest (and I'm not trying to be rude to you, wba_1996) it sounds like pretentious bollocks.

Does anyone know of a website which shows assist stats for the last few seasons? I've had a quick look on the information superhighway and the only info I can find is games played/goals scored. It'd be interesting to see how much Sess really does flatter to deceive.

BTW a No10 is a central attacking midfielder. It's a position that doesn't exist in a 442 hence Sess doesn't get much of a look in and we won't sign Praet as 1996 says.

And thanks for the number 10 explanation, but that doesn't work either. Surely it can exist perfectly well in a 442 formation, or any other formation for that matter. Otherwise you're saying that teams that play 442 don't play with a central attacking midfielder.
