    Elmo gets injured 3 times a match, but somehow he never is actually injured??

    Can't wait. I think he has the potential to be our best and most valuable player.

    He's certainly good but my worry is that Premier League managers will see him attacking and be ready to exploit him being stranded up the pitch.

    A toss up between Hernandez, Robertson, Odubajo and in light of recent performances Clucas.

    Henriksen could have a big impact but the Premier League is a big step up for him.

    Good luck to the lads who came onboard,I still however feel we fell short in terms of real quality with our signings,and that has to be down to the owners leaving this f 'kin shambles till last minute. Being honest, I reckon the relegation certainty many said would would happy has now become a relegation battle,but at least we are now in with a shout,over to you Mr Phelan.

    A massive plus is he wanted to come to us, Dio did a great job in selling the club to him.

    He turned down Chievo yesterday to "concentrate on his music'. He's only 30.

    We try and discourage that sort of thing on here.

    I think Moses will be our most valuable player. He is much better defensively than Robertson and better at taking on his man as well.

    Opinions! I think Robertson is the better of the two at beating his man.

    I can see the argument for retaining the same 11 that's played our first 3 games until such time that the performances/results drop off.

    Long term though, I think it's likely that Mason will take Meyler's place in midfield (and I'm not one of those Meyler-bashing people). I can see how Hernandez and Mbokani could be a decent partnership but I don't see a need for us to change to two up front at this point. The 4-3-3 has looked good. In that system the one spot which I can see Henriksen taking is Diomande's left wing spot.

    I mentioned earlier that I worry about our depth out wide, someone pointed out that we have a few players who can play out wide. My issue is that none of them are really creative. Elmo and Clucas if played on the wing are safe options but not really the type to beat a man and make things happen. I think I prefer Clucas in the middle where he can just be a tidy passer and not have to worry about opening up defences. The one man I really rate to unlock defences is Snodgrass, and although Weir is apparently a wide man too, he's inexperienced and I can't see us throwing him in at the deep end so I'm really hoping that Snodgrass stays fit and that Henriksen can do a similar job from the left wing, even if that isn't his 'natural' position. Mason is surely going to take the only vacant midfield spot anyway.

    It sounds to me like both Mason and Henriksen are fighters and that's what's helped us be competitive this season so far. Let other clubs have the lazy rich overrated players.

    The one plus side about Keane and Weir I suppose is that as we all know **** all about them (Sterling included) whatever he thinks he's picked up off football manager. The opposition won't know much about them either other than the you tube vids which don't really tell us a great deal.

    I'm hoping Henriksen will open up defences more than Huddlestone.
