I preffered Massimo over Nemeth, so given the paucity of options upfront I'd go with Maccarone but I don't think anyone chosing Boateng or Southgate would be wrong, I mean all seven would start atm.
George. The result stats based on when he played and when he didn't were night and day. If he ever had a spell out injured we'd instantly get better when he returned.
One of those players who you maybe don't realise how good he is until he didn't play. I'm sure we all did know. One of those you'd maybe not notice. He wasn't flashy or had tricks/goals etc. Just a dam good CM. Nothing went past or through him. A constant 8/10 every game.
Also French Frank. What a signing he was . He could become our 12th LB this season lol.
Boateng for me too. So many of the chances we concede come from opponents waltzing through our midfield unchallenged, that just doesn’t happen with Boateng around.
Boateng without doubt. He would also improve most PL sides. Quality CM. We were lucky to have him for as long as we did and is huge part of why we were so successful during that era
We need passers not destroyers in our midfield. We concede goals because we give the ball away in dangerous positions because our players aren't good enough at building from the back.
