Gary Mendel - Rio's testimonial

Hopefully will be superb but he certainly lacks pace. Not essential for a defensive midfielder? Whitts to play much further forward ths season and get more stikes on goal!

Having a player like him gives a lot more options... Hopefully a bit like de Jong was for Man City a couple of years back where it allowed other players to bomb forward more...

Personally I'd like to see us playing Medel and Gunnarson deep, something like:

GK
RB CB CB LB
Gun Pitbull
Bellamy Kim-Bo Whitts
Cornilius

...Gunnarson has a bit of pace, but not much strength - could compliment Medel perfectly.

I'd go with that formation too.
