Of course I'd forgotten the return of a centre forward and a central midfielder will also drastically reduce Jamie 'I'm a winger' Murphy's chances of first team action.
Murphy has to be the 4th choice winger, but that's his problem.
No manager is going to have 4 fully fit wingers in his 18 man squad.
Were anything to happen to one of the other 3 I'm sure Murphy would be in the first team squad.
But until that time 'his' place on the bench will always be taken...
As this (and all the other threads) are still rumbling on I'm curious as the expectation levels of those feeling players like Tomer, Jamie, Jiri et al have no place in a 25 man Premier League squad.
The club so far has spent £50m in upgrades and plugging gaps, with potentially more to come.

After two games, it is apparent which players, at present, have appeared to struggle to adapt to a higher level.
Is clearly not a great post.
I naturally assumed they had invented a time machine...
Hmmm, I'm not so sure (ESL), although I guess it's a chicken and egg scenario.
Certain players are readily audibly groaned at, for the slightest mistake, while others can do no wrong.
As said I have no idea if it's the game spilling onto here or visa versa, but I'll hazard a guess it's a bit of...
Congratulations, did you go for the flux capacitor or spinning umbrella design?
Either way well done, I'm sure we'll be hearing more about it after you have presented it to your fellow inventors.
I think a Noble Prize will be coming your way.
