Building a really solid Midfield (Present and Future)

**Doucet3** · 04-26-2013, 03:13 PM

Not just with the transfer of Laba but in general so far this year we've made a decent leap in talent from any other year in Mid.

4-5-1 (Mid only) (Also works with 4-4-2 just take out Ephraim)

----------Ephraim----------
Silva ----------------Lambe
------Laba---Bostock------

4-3-1-2

-------Ephraim-----------
---------------------------
---Laba-------Bostock---
--------Russell-----------

With Hall and Dunfield providing the depth (Which i think is perfect for Dunny) and with Osorio & Bekker as depth and the future i think were looking pretty good.

Future Lineup

4-5-1 & 4-2-2

----------Osorio------------
Silva-----------------Lambe
------Laba---Bekker--------

4-3-1-2

--------Osorio---------
------------------------
---Laba--------Bekker
--------Russell--------

Christ im actually getting a bit excited at the prospect of this team and how our futures shaping up.... cautiously though loll

no idea what you have done here but assume we are going to play the 4-4-1-1/4-2-3-1/4-5-1 that we play now

i don't think Ephraim is a long-term answer; in fact i don't expect qpr to extend his loan past june 30th

Just exploring options here, up top is what we currently have to work with, and below whats possible with the young guys we got. Nor do I, i think hes done alright but hes no long term options and see him moving on.

you have bostock playing holding mid...which he isn't

you have silva on the left wing, which he isn't; put silva where bostock is; bostock where ephraim is; ephraim where silva is...that makes a hell of a lot more sense (4-5-1)

osorio is more of a central mid than bekker who is more attacking; they should switch, but silva isn't a winger; i think based on what we have seen so far this year, being in the centre of the park is much more to his abilities

and having darel russell in the future line up? huh?

If we're going to play the speculation game, I believe I possess a certain set of skills which might be valuable:

Richter-----------Henry-------------Emory----------Morgan
----------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------Russell--------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------
-----------Silva------------Laba----------Ephraim---------
----------Osorio----------Dunfield---------Bekker----------
