Did you actually read the article? He specifically says he doesn't want to be a head coach

Todd is not in my opinion a left sided attacking midfielder. I'm not sure he ever has been. Farke used him on the left of a 4231 which we are transitioning away from. Farke referred to him just as a midfielder in all the kerfuffle last year.

Here's a specific quote before you ask..

“It depends on the set up and the team we play,” said Farke. “Sometimes it can be easier to come from the wing and cut inside, as opposed to the 10 where you have a holding midfielder picking you up. There is an element of surprise.

“He can play 10, eight, from the wing, although he is not a natural winger who will dribble to the line and put in a cross. He could even play a false nine or a six. There are many possibilities."

Todd always dropped deep into the midfield to run games, same as Emi did from the other wing... I'm suggesting starting him in midfield as I think he's a quality player and wouldn't drop him, but I think the forward 3 needs balance. Idah or Sargent instead of Onel would clearly also be an option.

I just don't think you could pair Todd and Gilmour without a quality CDM which we don't own and as I stated.
