I'll put faith in Rodwell myself, young, hungry and a great athlete (when he's not injured)
The pace is only needed in wide areas, not in defensive midfield.
And Barry, Garcia and Lampard wouldn't play at the same time when we also have Yaya, Rodwell, Nasri, Silva, Sinclair, Milner and Possibly another winger soon.
Forget wingers, it isn't happening whilst Mancini's here, the lack of game time for Sinclair proves this.
This season our lack of pace through the middle is a slap around the face, our reluctance to up the tempo and go from defence to attack quickly has cost us, we need a Lampard type player in his pomp, not now?
A box to box midfielder, someone like Rodwell, given game time and injury free?
P.s......The suggestion to play Lampard, Garcia and Barry in the same midfield was tongue in cheek, nobody's that stupid eh?
