Can't see a 4-3-3 working, Guthrie, Tiote and Cabaye are all too similar and I can't ever recall a team doing it successfully in the Premier League.

A diamond might be more likely, with Ben Arfa at the front, Tiote back, Cabaye right... don't think it would really work with Jonas or Guthrie on the left of it. Things would be so much easier if we actually signed left footed players.
 
No Jonas or Marv in that 4-3-3 though. We're getting a bigger squad, there shouldnt be a fixed XI.

HBA Cabaye Tiote Jonas
..........Ba
.............Cisse

Then Marv and Obertan as subs for the wingers. (or one of the strikers, with HBA moving into the hole) Best as sub for Cisse, Guthrie as a sub for Cabaye/Tiote.

What squad depth problem? <whistle>
 
------Ba--------Cisse------

------------HBA----------

Jonas-Tiote--Cabaye---Santon

---Colo---Willo--Saylor-----

-----------Krul----------------

That'd be beyond brilliant on Fifa but unfortunately it probably wouldn't do that well in real life <laugh>
 
I'm sure I remember you saying you wanted us to sign Ba and then Cisse too. Based on this, I'm gonna say Onuoha is a done deal.

Just Ba. Which makes me more accurate than CWarr at least. Although just keeping quiet would make you more reliable than him.
