I only mentioned Davies as last season he would have been and automatic first choice the form he was in, but this season he has struggled. I hope your right and Holgate just goes from strength to strength and doesn't go out of form enough to lose his place, the other 3 you mentioned are seasoned pros but for me Holgate just hasn't gone long enough for me yet to see him as a gurenteed first choice, but every game he get picked it becomes his position to lose.
In an ideal world we already have the players to fill most positions if they can prove themselves, I'd like to see a CB pairing of Holgate and Keane (but Keane has some work to do, he hasn't been great) McCarthy who I thought would leave could well be very useful for us, I forgot that he actually is quite good, also Bolasie has done ok but they both need more time. I still like Davies as a footballer so I hope he comes good again, also when I've seen Baningame he's looked very useful. Coleman & Kenny RB, Tosun up front, sigs,Gueye, Rooney we are quite sorted really. It's just the gaps that need fixing, I mean fixing no make do players, we need quality.
I don't want to go completely Zat here, but we have shown an inability to buy fully developed players of the quality we need, so maybe we should spend some time working on developing the younger guys. Especially if we can get to relative safety around March
I want a big centre back as well. An Allardyce type - only better.
Personally, I thought Coleman hasn’t had a good season since 13/14 under Martinez. He’s heading towards 30 himself now, I’d rather keep Kenny in and see him develop, than have him stuck on the bench for the next 2/3 years.
He’s been sussed out in that midfield role, just like he was sussed out as a striker. Horrible player.
