Agent Balti I'd take the 2.5m without Carlos Edwards, so I can't say I disapprove too much. Edwards is our type of player, for sure.

Ian Royal Yeah, I'd take that signing.
If Hunt goes, which seems like a big possibility we definitley need both a right and left winger to add to a central midfielder.
Even if Harper, Marek & Hunt all stay it could still be a very new look midfield. I still think seeing as we basically have no reliable good wingers who can cross left, that it would be a good idea to shift to a 4-3-3 / 4-5-1. Perfect time to try it.
Marek - Bikey - Harper would have enough steel and creativity to batter championship midfields.
Kitson supported by two goalscoring winger / forwards would also work perfectly IMO.

Roger the Rabbit Interesting that one of the very strong things that came out of Euro 2008 was teams sticking to a system they believed in (Spain and Holland were the two I saw mentioned in an article) and not constantly changing them - especially not changingthem to try and accomodate individuals.
I'm not a great believer in 'systems' - send the players out to play and forget messing their minds up with whatever the subtle difference between 451 and 433 is (not a lot in reality !).

The alternative view is that the Germans changed their system half way through the tournament, apparently because I didn't watch too many of their games so wouldn't know.
Players win you games, systems can only help get the best out of them.

Bill Oddie's Beard Apparently the Dutch players didn't like Van Basten's system, so they devised their own in training and he went with that!
