I like the idea of having 2 seniors for every position and then the likes of Cornell, Obeng, Situ, B. Davies, Lucas, G. Edwards and Donnelly at least have a chance of making the bench if we get an injury or 2.

In reality if for example Taylor got injured, Jazz would start and if he was out of form Laudrup would most likely ask another senior to play out of position for a bit.....but at least B. Davies would have a chance of some substitute appearances and he has the possibility of impressing and forcing his way into the first XI. Young players need to have that to aim for.

If we have a genuine injury crisis there is always the loan market.

A trim squad means that the first 2 players in each position will be of better quality as we can afford slightly better wages.

Flexibility is important too.
Look at Laudrup's signings so far....
Chico has played top flight football at right-back as well as centre-half.
De Guzman is a centre midfielder who covers attacking centre mid and could even fill in on the wing.
Michu is an attacking mid who is comfortable getting stuck in in midfield and could play up front if we needed him too.

This is spot on, Terror. <ok>

Our Manager has stated he wants two players for one spot with an emphasis on versatility.
