two players fighting for every position

[mikeg]

something everybody agrees to be a good thing am i corect?

then why is it a problem having 4 central midfielders for 2 central midfield positions?

is it not the same as having 2 left wingers for 1 position?

mascherano's arrival does not mean the end for either sissoko or alonso

[Dessy]

Might it mean the end for Mister Gerrard though??

[PTP]

I agree, we certainly missed Sissoko when he was injured, all it takes is a suspension, an injury etc and you can be short in any position - competition for players is healthy, and don't forget Mascherano is only on loan so the others shouldn't feel too threatened. If masher wants sign/play for us permanetly he will have to really peform well, if thats the case it should have a knock on effect and improve the perfomnces of the others.

Rafa should have 2 keepers in each goal in training. That would help improve finishing............

Fear Robbie would be the only one to hit the back of the net out of strikers though

****ing hell lol!! whats the point

[Ryan_Derrick]

Will it though mean the end for Zenden?

[Red Chilli]

I don't think it'll mean the end for anybody until he's tied to a longer contract. He might only be here 18 months.

Maybe, but Zenden has some versitility about him which which is why he is a handy back up.

Versatility = bench warmer

I'd rather get a Kid at a fraction of his wages to do that
