Our midfield

[carlos]

With the impending departure of JH it still leaves us with
Cattermole
Colback
Meyler
Richardson
Elmo
Riveros
Sessegnon

Add to that a couple more youth players coming through and £18m to play with, it seems good business, maybe we can give Bolo a years contract with the prospect of more games this season.

Colback - definite potential
Meyler - injured
Richardson - crock and supposedly left back
Elmo - canny squad player
Riveros - hasn't settled
Sessegnon - not a midfielder

all in all not a very pretty picture

You've omitted Malbranque

Think if Cattermole and Meyler can play 30 games each that would be a bonus Colback looked a steady player last few games and Bruce seems to think Riveros should be better for having a season getting used to the pace and surroundings. Think the question is would you rather have £18m or Hendo

Well they you go it gets better

It would be a start if they could play 30 games between them - nothing to suggest that they'd both get 30 games each

For me 18 million is under valued and, given the current squad size and existing injuries, I'd rather see players come in before we start selling players off.

That to me is key, given the size of our squad at the moment it would be stupid to sell before we buy

Meyler will be fit for the start of the season btw, but completely agree with your post

I don't share his confidence

I'd love the lad to be fir and last the whole season but the current evidence would be not to pin all our hopes on it.
