Last season Man Utd had the options of Carrick, Scholes, Giggs, Cleverly, Fletcher and Anderson in central midfield, and they also ended up playing Rooney and Jones there a fair bit too. Arsenal had Wheelchair, Cazorla, Arteta, Rosicky, Diaby, Ramsey, Coquelin and even Oxlade-Chamberlain played a bit in the centre.
Over the course of a season, your squad will get injured. You'll have suspensions. They'll also tire out. Especially if AVB intends to take the Europa League seriously again. Now when Wheelchair got injured towards the end of last season, Arsenal kept winning games. Why? Because they had quality players in reserve. Whereas when Sandro got injured, we suffered badly. Parker and Livermore were both very poor last season, I don't want to risk having them on the pitch any more.
Dembele
Sandro
Paulinho
Capoue
Holtby
Carroll
Sigurdsson
That's looking almost complete. AVB MIGHT be planning on picking two all action midfielders to support the slower Huddlestone, but I reckon he will more likely be sold along with Parker and Livermore. My concern is a lack of creativity from the middle of the pitch, which is why I'd still like to bring in another creative type and send Carroll out on loan to another Premiership team.
