Per the 'who are you' article about Rusyn in ALS the Ukrainian fan or writer bloke appraising him reckons he's an 'unorthodox attacker' but been primarily used on the left wing and not to be used as a no.9 at this stage, so three strikers and an option (assuming Mayenda can play striker).

I'm not against it if it means we have the option to play different systems, as I think we got a bit predictable end of last year, albeit some teams could do nowt about it, which is true of a lot of good teams. Not saying we're anywhere near this standard but Man City are relatively predictable, you just can't stop it.

I think a lot relies on burstow being up to scratch in the 9 role. From what I've seen I think Hemir will be a good option in that role, with a bit more time.
Going to be some excellent debate about what our best team is.
Just highlights the ridiculous number of options we now have once these lads get up to speed.
 
She was standing in the kitchen, preparing
our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for
breakfast, wearing only the 'T'shirt that she
normally slept in. As I walked in, almost
awake, she turned to me and said softly,
"you've got to make love to me this very
moment"
My eyes lit up as I thought, "I am either still
dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day"
Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced
her and then gave it my all; right there on the
kitchen table.
Afterwards she said, "Thanks," and returned
to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck.
Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, "what
was that about" She explained,
"The EGG TIMER'S broken"
 
Not a bad comparison and he does look hard as nails.
I think he is probably what we were trying to turn Gelhardt into.
Gelhardt hadn't played a full 90 before we got him so it was a big learning curve.
This lad has a lot of games under his belt and seems to know where the net is

Gelhardt was a canny lad but under no pressure and a decent club to drop back on ...

... Rusyn has left his homeland and risking his career on going to a place called Sunderland.

He'll have my support, every bit of it.
 
There are some good teams in the league. Some have good individuals some have good team mentality.
As a squad we have both of the above and on the face of it we look to have a good depth to our quality albeit some players will need time to adapt. The only team that really looks as good to me are Leicester but even then I am not convinced of their squad depth or there mentality as of yet. If they can do the hard yards and are willing to roll their sleeves up they will be hard to beat, but we seem to be a team who has a bit if fight in us and if we can string a few victories together and really get this club on a roll I belive we will take some slowing down.
All we need is confidence from the stands and that will transfer to the team, big songs, big noise, big atmosphere and we will get big wins its time for us fans to help raise it to the next level(I don't think that we don't but I do feel there is still a feeling of impending doom at times which is understandable) the confidence of the team comes from us, the confidence for us comes from the team, they are doing their best so should we.
 
The balance in our squad now looks outstanding. There will be some very good players not on the bench some weekends. If we arent considered contenders by the bookmakers yet then it is because they dont know much about football. The way the team dismantled Southampton was unreal. Now we have some amazing talent to add to that side. I can see 2 or 3 formations easily from the squad, all of which would be playing to our strengths.

Some of the football we play, and the quality of the players, makes me rub my eyes clear sometimes. I can’t believe what I’m watching as some of the play is exceptional.

Put £20 on us at 8-1 for promotion after Southampton game. Meant to do it at 10s before (someone on here mentioned it) but forgot :emoticon-0143-smirk Think that's canny odds but either way we'll enjoy this season I think which is the main thing <bubbly>

I think we will go up this year. We've cover all over the park and good options. We only just fell short last season with majority of key players out.

Nice one, I'll get thinking what to spend my winnings on <laugh> Think we'll be in the mix and give most teams a game. There'll be some bizarrely poor results from us no doubt but most teams win and lose in this league, that's what makes it fun to watch. Loving it anyway promotion or no
