Just been reading through a few posts and realised how difficult it now is to select a starting 11. The midfield and attack are especially difficult to select! This in my opinion is a very good problem to have and covers a wide range of issues from suspensions, injuries and lack of form. I predict Hughes will stick with his much preferred 4-4-2 especially at home and maybe away against certain opposition. Hoillet if he signs will be a very welcome addition to the squad. I don't think Faurlin will be fit enough to start the season and obviously barton is banned so that will leave us with Mackie , Taraabt , Park , Diakite , Hoillet , Derry to choose from. I think Hughes will start with zamora and cisse with Johnson on the bench. Personally i would like to see a new cb and lb as our new priorities unless Sir Fergie has insisted we play Fabio at lb as part of his loan deal and if that's the case then a rb may be needed if young leaves. The forward line is exciting and positive but i still have a few doubts about our defensive four!
I'm sure there will be more defenders arriving in the next month, that's still our weakness at present...
