Our Second XI

[Dannyboy]

Friedel

Naughton
Dawson
Caulker
Rose

Sigurdsson
Carroll
Holtby
Townsend

Dempsey

Ade/Defoe

This on the assumption that Huddlestone and Parker will be off and we don't really have a striker to step up should one or both of Ade and Defoe be sold (I should add I don't see all four of the above mentioned being sold but theoretically speaking)....this isn't too bad a side by any stretch but our midfield would struggle.

 

[Dru]

Midfield is awful and would get dominated by most teams imo

----------------Friedel------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Naughton-Dawson-Caulker-BAE (dunno why I rate Rose above BAE)
------------------------------------------------
-----------Livermore-Holtby---------
-----------------Carroll--------------
Siggy---------Defoe----------Dempsey

Until we sign officially Paulinho and Villa I'd start this next season, pace as hell

--------------------Lloris--------------------

Walker---Kaboul------Vertonghen---Rose----

[Norfwaffa]

Lennon Bale Townsend - Pacey McPace. Defenders will shit themselves

Yeah, with Rose and Walker behind them. Dembele is pace as well, Sandro is quick as is Vertonghen and Kaboul, allegedly fastest at the club. I'd be up for us cutting apart teams like we did against Woolwich last season.

Friedel
Naughton-dawson-caulker-rose
Carroll-holtby
Townsend-siggurdson-dempsey
Ade


I think. Assuming ade aint first choice etc etc

Disagree on that one!

Disagree on that one!

Quicker than Mertesaker.

 

[TommyD123]

Based on signing Paulinho, Villa AND a striker (& selling Parker, Hudd, Defoe and Dempsey):

Friedel

Smith - Dawson - Caulker - BAE

Holtby - Livermore - Carroll

Lennon - Adebayor - Townsend

Edit: missed out Siggy...guess one would be foolish not to demote Jake (although midfield might be a bit too attack minded)

 

[Super Jan Fan]

looks like the sort of team we would have put out as out first team, a decade ago.....does that suggest we have progressed a lot since then?

 

[Dru]

Quicker than Mertesaker.

Isnt everyone?
