OK so I haven't seem many of the youngsters play but have seen enough of the main squad. In essence the issue is the same as if we had gone up - ie keep a few but the new players coming in are quite different as regards cost.
I would also lose the 2 CDM set up unless we can resource it properly, leaving perhaps:
Carson
???
Wisdom
Davies
??? (Lowe?)
??? (Guy?)
Weiman
Lawrence
Vydra
??? (Thomas / Elsinck?)
??? (Martin!!!)
I guess we'd give up a lot of goals but score plenty. Problem here would be the midfield has no worker /ball winner and this would put a lot of pressure on a rookie CDM, but what the hell.
We cannot chuck out all the experience and this blends 6 experienced guys with potantially 5 young uns.
But this all presumes we can get rid of a lot of now deadweight. IIt also presumes we won't but anything much, which MM has rather alluded to.
OK boys, pull it apart.....
