Midfield options..

Mutch, Mason, Whitts, Kiss, Gunnersson, Cowie, Conway, Kimbo, Ralls, MacPhail, perhaps Harris and O'sullivan and maybe Bellamy. apologies for anyone I've forgotten, but Malky is going to have to make some really tough choices.


Whitts and Gunner were 2 of our best players last year.
Kimbo is surely a starter,

So if Bellamy comes what will happen with the rest, Mason, Cowie, McPhail (when fit) and Mutch would walk into most Championship sides, Conway on form too was a superb player. Ralls showed he could do it at this level. Wow

We are spoilt for choice in MF now which is crackin news, not sure where malky is goin to play bellers though....just need a defender or 2 now

I agree, Really hard choise in Midfield. Attcking 451 Maybe?

I don't think we will see a settled 11 this year but a mixture of 4-4-2 and 4-5-1

I think his first choice 5 will be Kim Mutch Witts Gunnar Bellers

Also the options of Kim and or bellers in a free role or just behind the striker.

Also remeber Bellamy wont play every game.

I still think we need another winger. Kim Bo doesn't look an out and out winger, more of a David Silva free role type of player. Who knows what Malky has got planned for Bellamy, if he opts to play him as a striker then that only leaves us with Kim Bo, Conway and Harris as wide players. I know it's not a bottumless pit out transfer budget but I still think we need one more to be safe.

But then maybe MM doesn't want to play with wingers all the time?
As wingers we would have Bellamy, Conway, Harris.
Wide midfielders Kim, Cowie, Mason

So it's quite a lot of options

Or a 4-3-3 with Bellamy, Velikonja, Mason /Helguson ?

This is how I'd expect/hope we line up. Pretty strong XI IMO.
