With a fully fit squad we definitely could challenge for top 10. We finally have a quality squad in every position and have strength in depth with a lot of exciting youth and developmental players. I suspect 2 or 3 may be on their way out.
Mcgregor Chester. Dawson. Davies Elmo Diame. Robertson Livemore. Huddlestone Jelavic. Hernandez Bench Ince Ramirez Ben Arfa Rosenior Harper
This is becoming impossible. Some brilliant players are going to be sitting on the bench in the coming weeks. McGregor Chester Dawson Davies Elmo BenArfa Livermore Diamey Robertson Jelavic Hernandez Harper Rosenior McShane Huddlestone Brady Quinn Ramirez or Ince. Expendable...Bruce Figueroa Meyler Aluko Sagbo
Brucie has certainly made his job harder with the signings today.... some tough selection calls.... although last Sundays performances will have quite a few players sweating next game! If everyone is fit & raring to go.... -------------- McGregor -----Elmo - Dawson - Davies - Robertson Ben Arfa - Huddlestone - Livermore - Ramirez ----------- Hernandez - Jelavic Bench: Harper, Chester, Rosenior, Diame, Brady, Aluko, Ince But may take a few weeks for Ben Arfa to get fitness up
....................................McGregor Rosenior..........Chester...............Davies..........Robertson Elmo...............Dawson............................................. Ben Arfa...........Livemore...........Hudd............Brady Ince.................Diame.................................Ince ......................Jelavic......Hernandez ......................Sagbo.......Ramirez Players underneath are where both could play that role as im unable to determine a first 11.
As I said on your other thread. Ramirez isn't a winger, he is attacking mid. Hope he plays well for you guys.
With everyone fit and on form I think I'd pick the following... McGregor Davies Chester Dawson Diame Elmo Huddlestone Ben Arfa Robertson Ramirez Hernandez Attack attack attack
The funny thing is we've just gone and signed another pair of left footers. In attacking midfield/on the wings we have Left foot: Ben Affrey, Ramirez, Aluko, Brady, Ince, Quinn, Hernandez Right foot: Elmo
Hernandez will obviously play up front, hopefully with Ben Arfa behind him, I don't expect to see either on the wing.
I did say attacking midfield/wing. Hernandez has played a lot out wide so thought he qualified for mention
Steve Bruce will need to work a lot on Ramirez if you go by the pundits last night on Radio 5. They were saying he has one good game in five or six.
Seems some on the CI sewer site find this kind of thread offensive, coz 'real' fans talk about scrapping, crews, with an unhealthy dose of racism thrown in. There're going to choke at cheering Diame and Ben Arfa
There really are some sad sacks on CI - but I think they're more of a small minority than they used to be. And every forum has its fools.
Personnally I cant begin to put a team out wouldnt know here to start Brucie has a beautiful headache over his selections now . It really is good to see all the cover available. Does anyone think it will be a rotated squad or is there a steady first 11 that will keep on playing.
I think the new signings just gives us the strength and depth to be able to field a team of form players rather then having to play players who seem out of form. The example of this would be to drop Livermore.
