Johnny, if Pulis says it's raining...you should go outside and check...

You can't have 20 first team players in any squad as all you will get is 8 unhappy players who think they should be in the starting 11 and as Sunderland proved last season that will end in relegation , you have to have players that will be happy to be part of the squad and Wilson falls into that category .
Problem is that of our 14 pros you wouldn't want more than 7 of them starting. With 3 of the players being strikers and Pulis using only one, and sometimes it seems he does that reluctantly, there are gaps in most positions.
Nyom, Morrison, Brunt, McClean, Myhill need to be fill ins rather than starters. McAuley... has he another full season in him? Will Phillips & Rodriguez both stay injury free? Will Chadli be given the chance to express himself of will we see second half of the season Chadii, a player who doesn't deserve a starting role?
hlc, I would ask you to check out Brunt's record from his return in the Leicester away game of how many points he has been directly responsible for with either scoring or assists. Also consider the drop in set piece success when the other muppets are taking free kicks and corners. I know I will get slated for saying this but the results are there for all to see.
Very sincere bloke our Tone seems to be...
...on the surface...
It has all the hallmarks of another debacle of a transfer window. Just what is the matter with this club? It happens year after year after year. Clubs with much less money and 'pulling power' get on with it and we just 'faff about' getting nowhere fast. Can you believe we STILL haven't signed a natural left back? To be perfectly honest, I'm getting fed up with it. Get a grip Albion!
