    You're happy to lose our best player because we have plenty of mediocre run-up-and-down-a lot-and-do-****-all ****e to replace him with?

    I'd forgotten all about him.
    He'll be great in the championship if he fancies it.

    We've got some good players, we most certainly do not have a good team, not yet anyway.

    You'd have a point if i picked Grosicki in central midfield. And yeah fair enough, Meyler and Clucas aren't known for their tackling.

    If he's our best player then things are worse than I thought.

    Interesting that I'm being criticised for picking 'run up and down a lot' midfielders and also criticised for picking midfielders who can't tackle.

    What's your team then? One in midfield with David Meyler tearing up the right wing?

    We do have a good team. I just named it. The squad needs strengthening.

    No, 3 across the midfield with another in as absenced role in front of them. I don't have any wingers.

    So you have Grosicki central midfield...

    Who's only offering is a short sprint to the byline and kicking the ball to the enemy or out for a goal kick.

    No I don't. There are other midfield positions than centre and winger.

    We're not going to be anywhere near the top of the league with a centre back pairing of Dawson and Huddlestone, particularly as Dawson won't even be available for half the games. We're also not going to have all those players, we'll lose at least two.

    All a bit academic, as the current squad isn't going to be the one we end up with, it would just be nice if we started resolving that issue sooner, rather than later.

    You can play Grosicki anywhere other than on the wing, running quick's all he's any good at.

    I've already said - on the left of a midfield 3.

    You seem to think of formations being like table football, where each player has a rigid position that he sticks in. What would you have made of Ajax in the 70s?

    I didn't realise the only position requiring pace was the wing.

    So he's playing left side central midfield? What do you think he offers to that position?

    Have you done your coaching badges?

    It is if it's the only ability you've got.

    No, he's playing left of a midfield 3.

    I've never done a day of coaching in my life. I look forward to you asking the same question every single time someone posts a suggested line-up ahead of every single game this season.

    I'd convert Turbo into a goalkeeper, we need some more cover there.
