Certainly would be a good start, but I still think we need a creative midfielder in there as for me the majority of our midfield players are defensively minded
Obviously with Fletcher and Yacob we've got defensive and graft qualities, but surely Phillips with his skills and Schlupp - apparently fast as a very fast thing and pretty tricky - give us plenty more?
Plus - any team with Mozza on the bench IMO must have a hellova midfield!
Granted we need a Plan B and even C, and numbers, but that looks like a good starting 11 to me
I agree its a good start, still think we need a creative midfielder though. Phillips would give us the pace down the wings we missed last season, but I am still struggling to see a creative midfielder if we need to play through the middle, otherwise we will become too predictable in our style of play, again like last season.
As for Taylor and Schlupp, I doubt we would buy both, as they are similar type players. I think we will be lucky to get Schlupp, but hopefully a great signing if we can.
IMO, and this is probably not going to be popular, maybe Chester should start in place of GMac. I know Gmac would run through a wall for the team, but we need to start integrating Chester into the first team, sooner rather then later. Gmac may have another season in him, but what then? We would need to be out looking for a CB for next season and I doubt we would pay for anyone better than Chester, in these days of crazy prices.
Still early days yet and I am sure a few more surprises will come our way before closing day.
