Yup, it's achingly obvious too, certainly with regards to the current team.

 

I'd still rather sign an out-and-out left-winger for next season, keeping Ben Arfa at the head of a diamond/off the striker. I like Nolan as a professional and he's important, but i still think we can find someone better. But we're talking a long way into the future.

 

The current team is bang on though.

                           Harper

 

Simpson  Wiliamson  Collocini  Enrique

 

Barton     Nolan         Tiote       Jonas

 

                                  Ben Arfa

                Carroll

 

 

Not decided on Williamson vs Taylor yet, but thats a good shout!

 

100% agree with this.

 

I'm still not sure who's best between Taylor and Williamson. Its good to have competition for places and we need to strengthen/have depth in the squad.

 

Big question with Ben arfa is will be is he best up front playing off or just behind Carroll or better on one of the wings? Personally I'd love to see him play up front with Carroll and if it doesn't quite work for him up front we can try him on one of the wings. Ben Arfa seems to be a live wire, someone with geniune quality who can beat players, terrorise defences, open things up for us, play killer passes and most importantly can score goals too. Dam you to hell De Jong!! We'd be at the very least be ahead of the mackems now if we'd had him fit. I believe Ben Arfa would take pressure off Carroll and Nolan and allow particularly Nolan to get get in the box more.

So who would you keep in the summer? I would have:

 

                            Harper

                            Forster

                            Krul

 

Simpson          Colo      Williamson      Enrique

                      S Taylor             

 

Barton              Tiote      Nolan        Jonas

Routledge        Guthrie  Gosling

 

                        Carroll      Ben Arfa

                          Best

 

Depending on any we get in I would loan out Kadar, Vuckic, Ranger, Ferguson, Tavernier etc.. and one of Krul/Forster. If possible get rid of Shola, Smith, Loven.

Providing there's no sell-to-buy policy in the summer, the only player i'd really like to see sold would be Smith. And probably Best. The squad's thin enough as it is - we need to add to what we've got. Lovenkrands is expendable too, if we plan to sign more than one striker. I'd definitely keep Shola.

I would keep the following:

 

-------------------  Harper -------------------------

                            (Forster)

                           

Simpson ----Colo------Williamson------Enrique

  (perch)          (S Taylor)              (Kadar)

 

Barton --------  Tiote -----Nolan  ----- Jonas

(new??)        (new?)  (Gosling)    (Fereguson?)

 

                        Carroll -----Ben Arfa

                          (Best)  (Ranger)  (New?)

 

Selling: Krul, Shola, Smith, Loven, Guthrie, Routledge

Keep:

 

Harper

Forster

 

Simpson

Willamson

Taylor

Colo

Enrique

 

Barton

Tiote

Gosling

Nolan

Jonas

Ben Arfa

Guthrie

 

Carroll

Shola (need him for the derbies and shit)

Best

 

Kadar, Krul, Vuckic, Ferguson and maybe even Ranger out on loan.

 

The rest can go. We need to get rid of Xisco and Smith, as they are on massive wages.

 

I'd like us to get a new:

 

RB - for competition

CB - same reason

LB - cover

 

RW - a proper winger

CM - decent cover for Tiote

LM - If possible, I'd replace Jonas.

 

SC - Carroll - new

My concern about everyone saying "we need decent cover for Tiote" - given that he's an automatic first choice, how on earth do we attract someone good enough to cover for him, who is prepared to sit on the bench for 70-80% of the time?

It's gotta be a young lad with potential - a Tiote of 3 years ago.

 

Someone we can develop as his natural successor.

 

Very difficult position for a young kid to master though.
