I would assume that Big Al won't be thrust straight into the hornets nest that is EPL football but probably will at some point get 15 mins under his belt so who will start Saturday? Will Connor be rewarded for his game changing cameo appearance v Bolton? Does sessegnon come back in? Will we have a defense and will Bardsley play to allow Gardener back into midfield? JOS, Cuellar and Rose I'm accepting will be absent. My team would be: MIG Bardsley, Bramble, Killgallon, Colback Sess, Gardener, Vaughan, Johnson Fletcher Wickham Westwood, N'Diaye, Larsson, Mcclean, Campbell, plus 2.
Might be a risky strategy, summit that MONs not known, for but I think he will play 2 new lads as the centre backs. N'diaye & Juhasz if he's signed in time.
That back four is terrifying! Kilgallon is poor in the air and West ham will be humping it in the box every chance they get.
Was under the impression he was catching a flight today. Discuss terms, medical etc. Only loan tho isnt it till summer with possibly an option of buying.
He will play for England senior team at some point in his career. That's how highly I rate him. Admittedly its a massive step up in class but if he's good enough, get him in. If as Marty says we are struggling for fit players he could at least be on the bench and gain experience with the 1st team.
England? Thats a huge shout! Agree with the rest, hope your right about england, would alot about our academy, hendo was the last one wasnt he?
