Quiet today boys.so here is my team v Fulham barring injuries etc.
Ruddy
Martin Bennett Ayala Tierney
Bennett Howson Johnson Pilkington
Hoolahan Holt.

Subs Ruddy Butterfield Ward Fox Morrison Vaughan

I doubt not many will agree <cheers>
 
Hoolahan starting up front?

That is my main problem with this, but I suspect some will be dubious about Johnson, he doesn't seem very popular these days! Depends how Hughton plays/who else comes in!

I would suspect:

Ruddy
Whittaker Bennett Davies(or other new CB) Tierney
Fox Johnson
Bennett Howson Pilkington
Holt

Although Howson could take Johnson's place, with Butterfield in place of Howson?
 
obviously very difficult without knowing who is coming in but with what we've currently got i'd expect similar to last season, something along the lines of:

ruddy
whittaker r.martin r.bennett tierney
e.bennett howson fox surman pilkington
holt

what i'd like to see us try is:

ruddy
e.bennett davies r.bennett tierney
snodgrass howson anita butterfield pilkington
holt

might not solve the 'goals against' column but bloody hell we'd be exciting to watch! :D

Have you tweeted this to McNally & Hughton Superman? Probably scratching their heads so a pointer in the right direction wouldn't come amiss. <laugh>
 
Pleasantly surprised to see others looking at EB as potentially a brilliant attacking RB. Have been suggesting this on a number of threads and started to think that maybe it was just me. I love the look of Supers team - how good would it be to watch? The combination of pace and skill with the big man's presence up front with Moro/Vaughan to come off the bench. Superb. However I suspect the reality may be a tad more conservative.
 
i see clyne is set to sign for saints. great signing for them - i think they are going to be absolutely fine next season. shame though, would have loved to see him here.

I would think they will be this years Swansea. Quality team, well built, and now being added to well. Supposedly its a 4 year deal as well, should make a tidy profit on him! I think as soon as we signed Whittaker we were basically conceding defeat there :(

i think many can appreciate that bennett has the potential to be a very good full back - he is good defensively for a winger - but he'd need that quality holding player to help cover when he bombs on and we just don't have that. i think he'd get caught without one. i know i must sound like a broken record but our defence will look so much more solid with a decent defensive midfielder sitting in front of them! they would give us that balance between attack and defence <ok>
 
Agree re a DM, but no idea who is available at a price we can afford and at our wage structure.

I'd like us to start with an attacking mentality, so have gone for 2 up front

Ruddy
Whittaker, R.Martin, R.Bennett, Tierney
E.Bennett, Howson, Surman, Pilkington
Vaughan, Holt

Subs Rudd, Ayala, Fox, Hoolahan and Morro
 
If we are allowed to include players on the wish list, so far I'm going for two up front, i.e. Inzaghi and Owen, with Del Piero LM, and Woodgate and Sol Campbell in central defence. I can't complete my line up as I'm short of ridiculous suggestions for keeper, full backs and the rest of my midfield. Should be able to complete the side within a few days at the current rate at which ridiculous suggestions keep coming in. Hope you bear with me 'til then. <ok>

Wonder what he means!

The thread was just a view based on current players.
But as we know only too well certain contributors will always
alter the thread to stamp their superior knowledge on us.<grr>
 
Im fully expecting with the way were looking at midfielders still and we have many already im going to say were going to go either 5 midfielders or 4-3-3 so im going to go for either.

Ruddy
Whittaker Bennett Ayala Tierney
Bennett Howson Fox Johnson Pilkington
Holt

Or this which i really like the look of

Ruddy
Whittaker Bennett Ayala Tierney
Howson Butterfield Johnson
Bennett Holt Pilkington

Or with new additions

Ruddy
