25 Man Squad [2019 Edition]

Is there any evidence we're in for a new CM? With the four first team players mentioned, plus Baluta, Sanders and Alzate who can play there, we certainly have depth for a position we'll probably only start two players if we keep with the 3-4-3.

Only that we have been linked with a host of central midfield signings - Berge, Hayden, that midfielder that went to Berlin on loan that we wanted but too late, Joao Mario etc.

Also Naylor/Argus often repeating it.

Sadly there is no firmer evidence - but what could that be anyway ?

I know Montoya ticks all the boxes; ex-Barca, Spanish, looks composed with the ball, technical. I wanted him to succeed.

But to see him torn apart and outpaced at the Amex by a succession of left wingers playing for bottom half teams, was simply not good enough. Often caught upfield in a naive move. His number one job was to defend FFS.

Unless we buy a RB this coming week, he may succeed as a RWB.

Naylor repeated this morning that we are after a CM.

Can you give me an example of a game where he was torn apart by a bottom-half team’s winger? Genuine question. I have to say I was relieved when Bruno came back into the team.

Schelotto says he's ready in reply to Brian Owen's tweet that he could be our back up RWB

Very pleased.

More RWB play in the style of Chelsea at home the season before last (where he was our MOM by a mile) and Montoya will be the number 2!

Makes me believe Izquierdo might end up being loaned out for the second half of the season to prove his fitness.
