Right. Now I know some are injured, and some are young. But we have a squad there where we can blood youth in Carling Cup games, bring players on to give others a rest.

I am also aware that we won't always play one up front. But surely we can see from that snapshot of the squad that we have strength in depth. Forget about the finances of the club, there is an underlying situation going on, which I expect to be resolved sooner rather than later.

Fact of the matter is we have a team and squad who are capable of beating any team outside of the top 4, and can certainly do some damage on the top 4.

If you don't believe that, then your in for a disappointing season and your Karma is not something I envy for you.

I don't think Moyes is being let down by Kenwright, I know for a fact that they are closer than any other manager/chairman - and that a contract was signed by Moyes with some conditions to do with Kenwright remaining as Chairman, come what may.

Also out of that list of players we have:

12 have been represented at senior international level
With a further 4 at youth level.

Basically we've swapped Lescott for Distin, Castillo for Rodwell, Billy for Van Der Meyde and Heitinga for Jacobsen.

Not bad. Ok, you can have the Rodwell one.

yes but we are likely to play Billy. Heitinga can play 3 positions, Jacobsen couldn't.

Basically people need to understand that we can only play 11 players at one time.
 
pleased we have a new right back.
pleased we have a winger
pleased we have a replacement for lescott

better players brought in than jacobsen and castillo
no more vdm
 

Have you ever seen any of Mustafi, Ruddy, Coleman, Bilyaletdinov, Agard, Baxter, or Arnoux play?

They're all entirely unproven. Do they really count?

Read the post again mate. As they are in the first team squad, they are options. One that we won't need in all likelyhood, but options none the less.
 

Great post, Ghost - exactly what I've been thinking.

We also have more options now than last season in terms of formation / system, and when Arteta's back we potentially have one of the best midfields in the league.

And after watching Rodwell's last 2 performances, anyone who says he's not ready to play at this level has not been paying attention.

L'Miserables are going to jump all over that one mate. **** em, you say what you feel, I'm with you brother.
