    I think I would have Lennon over Walcott on the wing. Walcott is better up top in my opinion.

    Ever since I watched Ozil come from about 10 yards behind him and easily make it to the ball 10 seconds before Barry did after a 60 yard run, I have wished Barry to never put on the England shirt again.

    I think this is much of the problem, people only reeber the nightare he had in Bloemfontein, but not many remember the fact that he has been one of Man Citys best players this season.

    I don't think much of Lennon. Not enough good performances. I also hate his bling levels, as if he's a world beater.

    I would shove Holt and Cahill in. The old gaurd has won jack, so why not take a chance?

    And I just spotted my typo. Sorry!

    Definitely not!

    Parker is a far better player.

    I am no Barry lover, and I know he gets a lot of stick for being too slow but as someone pointed out to me, he was nominated by David Silva as the clubs player of the year. I think maybe Barry is not a typical Premiership holding midfielder but then we give over too much credence to pace and strength which is our downfall.

    No but Barry is not international class IMO. He wouldn't fit into our system, Parker is also not international class either, but he can tackle at least, and works hard. Barry isn't a tackler and doesn't have anywhere near the vision or ability of a fit Wilshere.

    If Parker and Barry are not who is? Wilshere may become a good playmaker if he ever returns to his best but he is not a holding midfielder in my opinion.
