I like it, I was also thinking diamond as well which we have played with a front two of Carroll- Suarez/Aguero, and either Suarez/Aguero/Gerrard in the AM role. Might have to watch Fullbacks bombing forward if we expect Hazard and Gerrard to get forward as well. Lucas can cover a lot of ground but that would be a lot to ask!
These players came through the youth ranks though. It's one thing to sign for your rivals when you're 12/13 years old when you have to think about development, future prospects and feeling comfortable (whether a club will look after you) as the man factors, and have plenty of people making decisions for you. It's another thing to already be worth 20million Euros, have major worldwide interest and be a supporter. Admittedly this Liverpool supporter thing might not mean anything, but by the same token if it means he has any affinity with the club then its another point on the scoreboard for us. I've poked fun at people putting Hazard amongst their transfer lists before just because he's one of the lazy dream signings people often say, but i have been trying to watch some of his games since Janaury to see how he's doing. The guy is definitely a talent. We haven't had that kind of threat from a wide position probably since Barnes, maybe Macca. There's a compilation of all his touches against us from last season and he tormented our defence. Scored a fluke free kick as well from the kind of delivery Carroll would love: I'm not sure your formation would work red as we would be very open in the middle. Maybe the following in dreamland: -----------------Carroll----------- -----Suarez----Aguero----Hazard --Lucas/Spering----Mereiles/Gerrard
