Window opens on Monday and fixtures released next Friday.
Personally, I would have Gerty, Nordi, Omar and Reinildo as my starting 4. I know this is hard on Hume, who I rate, but think Gerty is a better footballer, Nordi has the pace, Omar is a lefty, as is Reinildo. However, there is a lot of flexibility amongst them PLUS Big Dan and O9 to throw in.
It's the time of year
Now that Spring is in the air
When those two wet gits with their girly curly hair
Make another song for moronic holidays
That nauseate-ate-ate
In a million different ways
From the shores of Spain
To the coast of Southern France
No matter where you hide
You just can't escape this dance
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green
Then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet
And pretend your name is Keith
Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an Eskimo
Eat a Renault Four
Wear salami in your ears
Casserole your gran
Disembowel yourself with spears
The disco is vibrating
The sound is loud and grating
It's truly nauseating
Let's do the dance again
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Yes you'll hear this song in the holiday discos
And there's no escape in the clubs or in the bars
You would hear this song if you holidayed in Mars
Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an Eskimo
Now you've heard it once
Your brain will spring a leak
And though you hate this song
You'll be humming it for weeks
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la laaaaaaa
Hey Patto you were first choice you are now 3rd choice. So unlikely to play any minutes are you ok staying?
Not for 
Not to go over old ground here but these players have more to offer than just a position
Hume is a right back, can play left back at a push, not ideal like. Can play right mid in a 442 that offers a dynamic 5 at the back
Mukiele can play centre back and right back, at right back he’s distinct from the other options because he’s got pace and power, see the cross for brobbey at West Ham.
Geertruida on the stats is a defensive action monster, is competent in 3 positions
There’s space for all 3
Of course they do.
The difference is that Hume and O9 ain't as good as the elite lads.
It’s all very well saying Gerty or whoever will not be in a first choice defence but that’s assuming the first choice play every game and are never injured.
I think all our defenders will get lots of games given the number we will have next season and just think, if Alderete or Mucky get an injury we will almost be down to having no recognised subs for their positions if Hume of Dan need to be subbed or get a knock.
There’s nothing wrong with having subs on the bench who are a similar standard to the first 11 and that means at least 3 top defenders.

Perhaps, but they are improving just by playing with these lads. Who knows what levels they may yet reach.
That goes for all our players, everyone has something to offer.
Hume is a pretty solid premier league player and has attracted interest from top league clubs because of it
I genuinely feel like if we signed him in the summer before the premier league people would realise that more (not you specifically by the way just in general)
He gets really underrated for me. His tactical flexibility is massive
That may be so skill wise,but,they are prime examples of how playing with better players improves performance. Both have reached levels this past season which,even they,didn't think they would reach.
Hume, is easily good enough to be a RB in the Premier League.... i remain to be convinced that he is a defensive midfielder..
But Bris reckons he is... who am into argue
I'm really not keen on this idea of 'elite players' to be honest.
All players have variations in form and, in addition, formations change according to the opponents, etc.
Hume and O'Nien are both improving despite their previous lack of top level experience.
Most of their team mates have played in the top leagues, in Europe, etc.
As long as RLB is happy with his players that's fine with me ...
... and I've no doubt we already have a good idea of who we'll be signing this summer.

One for you stat lads....how many starts/sub appearances did Gerty make last season ?
If he signs he's bound to improve whatever figures he did have.

Our recruitment at the end of last season was first rate....it took almost everybody by surprise...how much we spent,how we were able to sign up some of these players. I don't expect this window to be any different,except for the numbers......we only need 4 or 5.....but,my impression is,they'll be next level signings. In addition,the hard work will be for us to agree the transfers of those of our players we don't want to retain,but who are under contract...more than a dozen.
