We have pace to burn now. (Elmo, Robertson, Ben Arfa and Hernandez just for starters) Nothing scares a team more than real pace added to talent. I can see us being a bitch to defend against and the likes of Jelly have a tonne of room to work in all of a sudden.
mcgregor elmo/rosenior davies dawson/chester robertson huddlestone diame ben arfa ramirez hernandez jelavic mcgregor davies dawson chester elmo diame robertson huddlestone ramirez ben arfa hernandez there's too many and I got tired on my phone livermore/rosenior/elmo/chester/aluko/meyler/quinn/sagbo/Ince will be sweating a bit (blimey... how strong is our squad now? edit.. well my (formation got messed up after it posted)
Pretty crazy to think the team we could field using all of our new signings; Lenihan Maguire Dawson Roberston Ince Diame Livermore Ben-Arfa Hernandez Ramirez
Not really though it's slightly better since the lunatic nazis were given their own forum to vent their love of all things third reich.
I can see us having a real tilt at the cups this year. Although I haven't sat down and worked out who is cuptied. Edit Diame and Ramirez are cup tied for the LC.
CI Plus isn't a City forum and I don't use it and the CI board is not full of racists, in fact quite the opposite.
Speaking of which where the **** is Stuey? Got lost in Belgium or locked up and getting buggered? Or possibly dead?
I'm suprised how many of you still have Elmo at RB if we play a back 4, strange considering he carnt defend. I think we'll stick with 3 at the back. Mcgregor Chester Davies Dawson Elmo. Robertson Huddleston Diame Ben arfa Jelly Hernandez I think.....or
He always picks up little injuries that stop him having a good run. If he can stay fit then he could be a good player. I just hope Hull fans give him more time then some Saints fans.
Done this a few times now, but it changes all the time ..............Mac Rosie....Davies...Daws...Robertson ..........Thudd.......Diame Elmo........Ramirez...........Ben Arfa ........Hernandez/Jelavic
Yes I see there are very mixed views from Southampton fans on your forum: http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/275952-STATEMENT-Gastón-s-loan-move-to-Hull-City/page2
A fully fit squad looks very good on paper. But at any time we could pick up injuries and then suspensions are likely by the time we get to winter. Add in the fact that Ban Arfa and Ramirez can't play against their parent clubs and more then likely any Cup games. All I see Bruce doing is giving himself plenty of options on formations and quality personnel in those formations. Don't forget last season our 2 most influential players stayed fit - we might not be so lucky this year.
Plus it put a extra bit of pressure on the squad knowing that if you don't preform there somebody waiting to take you place, having a strong bench to me is important.
4-3-3? McGregor Elmo ---- Dawson/Chester ---- Davies ---- Robertson ----Diame ---- Huddlestone ---- Livermore ---- ----Ben Arfa ---- Hernandez ---- Ramirez ----
