I think this is pretty much spot on, but think signings if he can get who he wants will mean rotation?

If I had the choice of Tevez or SWP I would have Tevez. Unless Tevez plays down the middle instead of RSC and SWP plays wide.

I wonder if he would think about playing SWP as a wingback?

 

[stu1]

Where's Dunne?

gives us an option. Thing is with the players we have and the player we're linked with, its nothing to change the formation immediately and switch style. That formation could easily be a 4-4-2 with SWP if the De Jong.

We could play Liverpool's formation with 4-1-3-1-1 too.
