Call me controversial but losing Koren in the summer may be good for us. Yes he is top a ten best championship player, however we have to play around him so we can get the best out of him. If we were to lose him, we wouldnt need to replace him as I would hope we could adopt a 442 and get a decent winger in although imo stewart and garcia could do that job with brady (if signed), and even mclean as backup. We have four decent centre midfielders in mckenna, evans, cairney, and olifinjana (although he needs to improve on his last outing). Sign Gerrard on a free and thats the centrebacks covered for experience. And try and get Jozy back on a loan to see if he can do in the championship what we hoped he would do in the prem......SCORE! Could also try and tempt myhill and ricketts back on a free as fullback cover. I think that would be at least a playoff team.

Decent squad imo.
What a load of poo that is.
Nick's playing 4-2-3-1 because that's the formation he wants to play, not because we have Koren, I would have thought that was quite obvious from the fact that the system hasn't changed while Koren has been out.
Garcia can't get a game this season, he hasn't a prayer of getting one next season.
Altidore earns well over double what any of our current players earn, he's scored 10 goals in 27 league games this season, his team are top of the league in Holland and will be in the Champions League next season, there's as much chance of him coming back to us, as there is of Messi signing. Get a grip.
