That's just hopeless. The feller is constantly injured and he's obviously struggled to get another club after Liverpool released him.
Their likely starting line up is going to be older and more injury prone this season because of Hodgson's signings. Cole 28, Jovanovic 29, Aurelio 30. Their likely preferred team starting line up is going to be average age 28+ many of whom are constantly crocked.
Ok, he's bought Wilson and Shelvey, but they're LC early round starters at best.
I just dont see what he's playing at here. Unless they sell Torres and he goes on a late spending spree (if he was allowed to with the proceeds, that is) this looks to be madness for a club with hopes of getting a top four place and nicking a trophy.
