I was watching SSN this morning, and they were talking about the old cliche of managers looking forward to the window slamming shut so that they know they have kept their strongest players. This made me think about out squad, and I can only think of Lascelles and Merino who I would class in that bracket. I would consider everyone else expendable and would glad to get rid of a few, providing the money is reinvested. Sad state of affairs.

So if the signings go through, what would people say our best 11 would be?

 

                Dúbravka

 

Yedlin  Lascelles  Clark  Kenedy

 

        Merino    Shelvey

 

Murphy        Ayoze      Atsu

             

                Slimani

I think Kenedy will be deployed more as a winger or wing-back (with a back 3) rather than a proper left-back.

Yeah, I have a feeling we'll change to a 3 at the back at times as well. Don't think the below would work, but it's best players rather than most suitable for the system.

 

                Dúbravka (just assuming he's better than what we have)

 

    Lejeune Lascelles  Clark 

 

Yedlin                              Kenedy

 

              Merino    Shelvey

 

Murphy                        Perez   

             

                        Slimani

    Lascelles Hayden Clark 

 

Yedlin                              Kenedy

                  Merino 

 

  Ritchie                    Atsu

                    Perez   

                    Slimani

With Hayden joining midfield when in possession.

Lejeune or Dummett replacing Hayden, Murphy for Ritchie and Shelvey (sitting deeper) for Perez, against the stronger sides. Greater defensive barrier and more chance of hitting on the break.

Swap Clark for Lejeune and thats not a bad looking team.

Still space for 1 extra. Samir Nasri anyone?

 

*Kenedy and Merino are considered under-21.

Nasri is a nasty dirty cheating cunt. In saying that he does have talent that we could obviously use. His wage demands though mean that we don’t have to contemplate putting aside our feelings towards him to welcome him to the club.

Dummett is Rafas favourite, he will start 99% of the remaining games if fit
