Morning all,
All these "new" faces is giving me a headache. Its the old cliche, how the heck is the manager going to pick his 1st eleven and keep all happy. Heres mine for the players we have or almost have and all 100% fit
Fod
Tav Mcrorie Wilson John
Candias Jack Dorrans Murphy
Morelos Ohalloran

Well balanced, potent and powerful. Our second 11 ain't that bad either.

Alnwick
Hodson Cardoso Bruno Wallace
Barjonas Holt Goss Haliday
Windass Herrera.

Obviously everybody will have there own opinions of players and formations etc

Ive not included Rotissor, Miller, Kranjar, Doddoo but if fit any of them could come in also.

I would however like us to sign a 6'4'+ monster front man that can hold the ball up and head, not necessary anything else (that would cost serious money) to give that option of a target man when all else fails. Peter Crouch on a Scottish diet for a month might fit the bill.

Im sure some will come and go shortly but will be replaced with an upgrade. So it shows we have a decent squad with good depth. If we really strengthen in Summer18 we should be able to compete at the top. Aberdeen on there day could be good but there strength and depth will now be way behind us. Celtic will always be a challenge but if we are consistent then we have a chance.

Whats your 1st eleven?

I think once everyone is fit, Mcrorie will become a CB again with Wilson.

I'd rather play Windass ahead of O'halloran mate. He's only back cause we made him, come the summer he'll be itching to get away again

Why would you put mccrorie back to cb? He is excelled where he is. Give bates a chance to excell with wilson as bates has proved he is more than capable of making the cb position his own. It would be foolish to move mccrorie.

Hey Coldo. Mcrorie is a talented player which is why he is getting by at Centre defensive midfield. But long term IMO we need a Pirlo, Carrick, Ferguson, Souness, Keane, Brown (i Know fingers burning typing it! ) type. Somebody that can go box to box, full range of passing, control the tempo of the game and scare the opposition.

In 5 to 8 years time he might be that player but right now, not sure. We might find ourselves in the Europa cup/ league against very experienced pros in 5 months. We need a midfield general. But don't get me wrong I love Mcororie and he is part of our future, a majestic CB that can carry the ball. We might find Ryan Jack, Goss or Rositer? are these players for now in that CDM position but they have to step up. Its all good, rather debate where to put our good players rather than any negative angles. Good stuff Cold. let's hope were arguing he should be striker next year.

PS. When Mcoroie is say 25 and has been a total success where ever he plays and Man Utd come in for 50 million would you want home to go, would you go.

Rangers TRUE LEGEND on average money V Man U PLAYER on multi millions. Heart v Brain.

Ed what would we do, if you have a chance, a poll would be interesting.
