If Gomes does go then we have Allan/Doucoure/Davies/Gbamin/Delph for the midfield? When you consider that Delph can't last half a game and Gbamin's fitness issues are well documented then feels like another area where we have dwindling numbers...

We've got a diamond called Ross Barkley....

Dunno about that mate - we have 6 players there for two positions (plus Onyango when he's fit), we could easily lose one of them
 

For me Brands has had control taken away from him on too many key things for it to all fall at his feet.
I think he's culpable along with a number of others for our current situation, but I think it would be wrong to scapegoat him.

My issue with him is that he is not doing the job he is getting paid for, probably very handsomely too. He should have walked when his contract expired last year because it's clear to me he isn't being allowed to fulfill the DoF role effectively.

We don’t know shiz. We’ll keep you updated.
 

Which is why it is partly his responsibility to find ways to improve the squad. I've never heard someone get so many excuses in all my life. If I mess up at work, then it's my responsibility to go and fix it. I can't just say, oh well, I've messed up, but not my problem anymore.
But I'm sure you'd be a bit miffed Tim if somebody in authority was whispering in your ear to do X,Y,&Z, and then left you to carry the can when X,Y&Z went South.
 
I guess it depends on what you're expecting.

How so?

I'm expecting us to be in the mix for European qualification again because that's where we need to be. But that could be anywhere from 7th to 12th. We also need to go all out for a cup, because it'll have been 27 years which is mental.

We have a 32 (soon to be 33) yr-old RB who can't stay fit for the season, and an inadequate back-up. We've needed the role filling for 3 years at least. Now we're scrambling around and will likely - if it's going to be anyone - end up paying over the odds for Maitland-Niles.

We don't really have any creativity in reserve when it comes to midfielders so that's a worry (i'm counting Iwobi as a regular starter here) if James goes. if there's an injury to a winger and a striker at the same time then we're in bother too.

As it stands, short up front but we always are and I think Rondon will come in.
