We may even stick with Schelotto as the right back - if he is fit.
Unlikely. Even if Potter does an about turn then he is recovering from long term cruciate injury. Unlikely he'll be fit for months yet.

The club are clearly in denial around how poor we were last season- especially in those attacking positions,
Indeed.
Nor, I suggest, an attacking midfielder as the same could be said of Steven Alzate.
The only position the youth can't fill is that of a Box2Box Midfield Beast.

Yes. He does.Is Bissouma not likely to fill that roll?
This analysis suggests he may be.

I read that this morning and like you think we are planning to go with what we have up front. We all know that TB is a gambler, but this must be one of his biggest, it is a long time until January if it turns out that the recruitment team were wrong and CH right about the quality.
Big mistake if we think this squad won’t be a dice roll away from relegation again without significant strengthening of the first team.
There's still seven weeks before the window closes so plenty of time to make new signings. Inconceivable that one of those won't be a striker.
The Window Slams shut on August 8th - FOUR weeks today.
Oh, has it changed? Still time..
I just wonder if Graham Potter has been told that part of his remit is to try and get the expensive signings of Locardia, Jahanbakhsh, Andone and some of last season’s other ineffective players to step up and produce. Potter certainly has managed to do that at Swansea and Ostersunds on a limited budget but with a fair amount of success.
In my opinion I think those three players I’ve mentioned should be given a chance to prove themselves, new manager, new slate, new tactics and all that. I felt all three showed promise last season however limited it was. Maybe, with a different approach and playing style they’ll flourish. Wishful thinking perhaps - we’ll find out soon enough.

If he can't, Then I would like to think those responsible for scouting and obtaining them are not untouchable.

Interesting analysis. Bissouma is obviously a delightful player with so many qualities, but there are a few issues that concern me about him. One of which is his engine, which wasn't something that was covered in that article, but is pivotal for a box-to-box midfielder. Of current PL players, Doucoure stands out, and he really covers some ground. I'd be interested to see how much distance Bissouma covers -- and, on this, it might be unfair to judge him on last season, as CH's requirement to be 'compact' would have had an impact on that. I do remember a recent stat posted on here that Bissouma outdid Pogba at one thing: walking. Which I find concerning.
PS, I think you mean role, not roll. Silly sausage.
