    I think Diamond should look elsewhere now, the club clearly have a plan going forward and I don't see him in it. I may be on my own here, but I also think Gooch and O'Nien have limited shelf lives if in this and the next transfer windows Neil gets the players in he needs,

    I still think we'll go 4-2-3-1 this season but will use 3 at the back when we play against certain opposition. Cirkin can easily play LCB therefore if we can get backup to him and that player can cover LWB then we are sorted on that side of defence. I can see O9 being used more as a utility player who can play CB. He is not good enough in a 2 in midfield. If we can get a RB, LB, 2xCM and another forward player then I'd be really confident with our squad.

    Disagree. I think Diamond has a part to play with us for this season. Lyndon and Luke are major members of the squad and will contribute well.
    A centre mid....and cover left back.....we're cooking with gas!

    I dont think any of us can constantly predict what Alex Neil has in his mind, i just believe he knows what he is doing.

    Possibly mate and if so we may go for another CB rather than cover at LB

    Maybe even higher with the right attitude and a manager who trusts him he could surprise a few, an eye for goal, great feet and speed are not bad attributes,

    O'Nien is miles away from the level we need

    I'd like to see three more, presuming Huggins will make it back part-way through the season:

    a quality deep-lying midfielder
    a right (wing) back, and
    a striker who can play No.10

    Diamond & Winiesta for sale.
    Matete to go out on loan, possibly Hume as well.

    I'd rather see a striker who could play wide, think we have enough options for the No.10 role but agree on midfielders and winger/wing back

    He can do a job for us,and he's great around the training ground and the dressing room.Often,you need someone like him.
    I agree he's not going to take us into the PL,unless we can shoehorn him into a role he's comfortable with and he can play with the game in front of him.
    Not sure,but,at this level,sometimes you need players who can come on and do a job.....and he's certainly that.

    Yep,unless you're under 3 years of age it has no nutrional benefits whatsoever. Beer is the thing!

    Hope so marra. I'd love to see him be a part of this squad. He's a good player.

    Clarke is an attacking winger, who tracks back and defends a bit.

    Cirkin is a defensive full-back who can attack a bit.

    Gooch is not an all out winger or full-back but does a WB okay(ish)

    Roberts and Diamond are not seen as potential WBs only as wingers?

    Dajaku is a winger?
