Alzate for me - he's the one who'll surprise a few.

I think we are gonna see Taylor in and around the 18 a fair bit. Other possibles maybe Baluta and Alzate. It looks like he is going for 4-2-3-1.
At the moment the back 4 pick themselves. The defensive midfielders will probably be Stephens and Propper with Baluta as an outside bet and then Bissouma maybe coming in when fit.
The attacking three midfielders as things stand look likely to be Gross Trossard and one other from Locadia, AJ, March and perhaps Taylor and then later Izzy. Actually when you look at you can begin to see why Knocky went. That's 7 players covering 3 positions.
Up front its the usual suspects until we sign someone else.

Will we have any youngsters left to blood in the 1st team with the rate we are loaning them out

Walton is 23, not a 'youngster' any more, in that he would have to be named in the 25..

He's not making the giant leap from U23 football to the PL either - he's had a very good season in 'grown up' football, admittedly only at League 2 level, but he was a star performer at Swindon. So, not as raw as all that ..............................
Richards and Alzate. Connolly if he doesn't go on loan. Richards especially. If Potter gives them game time it could end up a fantastic season as they play without fear. Part of me thinks it could be a Hypia style car crash but if it isn't then just imagine!!

Alzate seems to be the one that has impressed the new manager most since his arrival and would not be surprised to see him in the 18 against Watford together with Baluta. Our midfield from last year have to really up their game if they want keep their places in the starting line up. Potter will want more pace in the side and both these two youngsters look as if they can pick a pass of more than 10 yards which seemed impossible last year.
Was really impressed with both Tudor Baluta, who I think can grab his chance this season and Haydn Roberts who is one for the future.

Haydn Roberts?

I agree, he must have sufficient iron, salt and potassium circulating

Presumably Haydon.

I'm sure Tony would be quite happy to wait for his money rather than suffer relegation! Lets face it how many owners/investors go into this business expecting to make money or even get their investment back, especially in the short term?

Bissouma is the most obvious but possible he'll be overtaken by Baluta or even Richards... - but its attritional in the middle of the park and wouldn't be surprised to see one of them playing a lot. And maytbe a striker will get 10 minutes here or there and if he takes his chance....
I know very little of Alzate, whats his position?

These aren't the players you're looking for.

At Orient he played on either wing, we seem to prefer him CM. He's a great prospect.
Haydon Roberts 17 year old, who can play at the back or in midfield. Always seems to have time on the ball, composed with a good range of passes off either foot - one for the future I think.

Tom McGill called up for the England U20s squad and Haydon Roberts for England U18s squad.

But we can't play one who's out on loan, not until January at the earliest. Alzate and Connolly at the heard of the queue.
