ok so everything seems lost in translation from my side. let me try be more succinct.
wasnt making any caveats, as you call them.
IMO regardless of your position in the midfield you are a midfielder,
hence my inclusion of the wings and vdv when i stuck hudders in at eight choice midfielder.
first choice midfield is lennon, parker, modric, bale. (vdv although i consider him a striker)
doesnt matter what choice you choose them in thats 1-4/5.
pick any one of those to get subbed and sandro is next in line.
either as a straight replacement for a cm or as a cm and the rest get shuffled.
after that kranjcar, same scenario.
hudders is a cm and only a cm. kranjcar gets dumped into either a cm or right/left position
in our lesser games (europa etc when the other players get a run around), so he can be utilized
in 1 of those positions if we need him to, and harry would not have a problem doing it.
my reasoning for livermore ahead of hudders is he has played phenomenally when given half a chance.
and he has way more pace than hudders to get back if somebody gets past him.
yes livermore still has a long way to go, but i think he is better based purely on what little i have seen of him.

Huddlestone and Sandro are the only occupants for the central midfield role after Modric and Parker. Niko playing centre midfield is not an option if Huddlestone is fit.
and livermore, who i would put ahead of hudders.
and kranjcar has also been utilized in that position on occasion.

kranjcar used to be our miracle working midfielder till modric came along.
everybody is slowly just moving down the pecking order as they get older or better and
younger players are brought in
no idea what happened here, must have deleted half the post as i was altering it due to other posts.
it should read...
kranjcar was supposed to be our miracle working midfielder but that never materialised
because bale came to the party just like JJ was top dog till modric came along.
the whole point is to continually make the team better thats why everybody is slowly moving
down the pecking order as they get older or better and younger players are brought in.
