Right, then...we're just over a week away :O What's your 'best' 11 out of the players currently available (including any who might be off)
.....................................Krul......... .................
Yedlin.............Mbemba.................Lejeune. .............Clark
Ritchie.............Shelvey................Merino. ............Aarons
...............................de Jong...........................
....................................Gayle......... .
I know Timmy's off but when fit I think he edges it over Elliott
Again, Mbemba has been told he can go but when he does his job he's better than Clark and Lascelles
Clark? I just couldn't face putting Dummett in -remember, this isn't who I think Rafa will start :p
Aarons? He has more about him to get past his man albeit Atsu seems to have had a good pre-season. Not much to choose between them but Aarons has more 'get you off your seat' potential.
de Jong-hopefully we might see the player we thought we'd bought a couple of years ago.
For what it's worth, and tin hat firmly on, I think there are shades of David Kelly about Gayle. I would have loved to see him in the Prem but have to admit that Keegan's ruthless decision to move him on was probably the right one. I'm not advocating selling Gayle by any means but if he's our number one striker this season I think we'll find goals hard to come by.
