Hoolahan, Pilks, Snodgrass, Wolf / Holt Becchio Toivonen Bennett Redmond

That's not counting Surman and Butterfield either.

That is what the advanced, wide and strikers might look like. But we've already got Johnson, Howson and Tettey who've been playing at the two holding positions and now we're apparently looking at Livermore and Bridcutt. To repeat Steve's point "do we really need FOUR holding midfielders"?

I'd say yes we could do with one more to cover for loss of form, post-internationals fatigue, injury and suspension, but we certainly don't need both unless we're expecting to sell one. I'd happily make our money back on Tettey.
