because there is no way we can fit all these "tiny players" into any team - and so I cannot believe we are going to retain/acquire all the ones noted above, and surely not start them all. We would get bullied off the park. there would be no point having wingers or wing backs putting crosses in....

True but if you have those 5 in there, you will only have room for the one "small guy" and hence the small forward line approach MA alludes to would not be happening!
In reality the "front 6" would need to include Huddlestone, Vydra (if he's still here) and one more of Ledley/Thorne/Johnson if not two. Throw in Lawrence and Jerome to start and that leaves one place for Wilson/Thomas/Bennett or

than Thomas Bennett or Elsnick at the moment Next season this division will be hard to even stay in it anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded Don't worry about our young players being on the fringes if they are good enough they will get their chance But you can't play them Just because they are our youngsters unless you want to watch Div1 football next season
Thats an interesting observation - would I rather drop down a division and help our homegrown players mature and become starters at championship level, or bringing in and providing an experience to better premiership youngsters who currently cannot find a place in their host club.
On balance, having seen how ineffective "not quite ready PL players" have been for us over the last few years: Lingard, to a degree Ibe, James Wilson, Palmer didnt light the sky up, I think I would stick with our own rather than give experience to someone who would never join us on a permanent
