I first thought all the talk of trading Hanifin was crazy and would hurt our D without him in our top 4. But the more I hear about Tanev and how he plays and what he did with Hughes, it make sense to pair him with Valimaki.
We didn't sign Tanev to be a 5th/6th guy, he has to be in our top 4. So if Andersen is gonna play with Gio that makes Hanifin the odd man out, and since we're not paying him as a 5th/6th either, he could be used to swap for an impact forward.
