Ok, so now we have our new signings, assuming they're all fit, how do you see us lining up for our strongest starting 11? I'll make a stab at it... ----------------------------sorro------------------------------------- Wilko/Huth-----Huth/Faye-------Shawcross------Collins/Higgy Pennant/Walters------Wilson-----------Whitehead-------Ethers ----------------------------------Eidur/Fuller---------------------- --------------------KJ--------------------------------------------- The midfield becomes tricky, Pennant & Ethers are must have starters IMO to provide width and balance. Then it just depends how you want to shape the two centre mids. You could go orthodox with Wilson and Whitehead, or you could play a diamond midfield and bring in either Eidur or Tunny as the attacking midfielder playing 'in the hole'. Delap doesn't get near the starting 11 for me, and it's difficult to bring in Tuncay and Walters without losing your defensive capability. It's not easy! What a great position to be in!!

I`d still chose Begovic over Sorensen despite his conduct last week. Other than the glaring weakness at full back, its a bloody good side, with options on the bench aswell (Tuncay would make my matchday 18)

Oh no! Does this mean the manager has some choice now?! How awful!!!
Not sure about Pennant - TP will need all his man-management skills to keep him in line. Happy with the others. Now, lets get ready for the Villa game!!

Soro Wilko - Huth - Ryan - Higgy Pennant- Delap - Wilson - Ethers Gudjonsson - Jones
Drug TP'S brew and you could get.....
Same defence
Pennant - Wilson (def mid) - Gudjonsson (attacking mid) - Ethers
Fuller - Jones
Never in a million years though

We have got great competition in all areas now, except possibly midfield. But what a great position to be in. Cant be many teams with the quality of Fuller, Tuncay, Jones and Gudjohnsen fighting for places. Lets just hope we can give them the service.

As difficult as it is to get him in what we percieve to be our strongest starting 11 (on paper), I think Walters will become one of TP's new 'favourites' so can see him getting a lot of game time still. Not that it worries me, he's looked a great signing so far!
GO AARRRRN STOKE!!!!!

We're still light in midfield but otherwise we nearly have a proper Prem squad, exciting times!!

My line-up would be:-
Sorenson
Wilko Huth Shawcross Higgy
Pennant Wilson Whitehead Etherington
Jones Fuller
subs:
Begovic Faye Collins Delap Walters Tuncay Gudjonsen
No doubt Pulis will find room for Diao.

I know that is your preferred team, but there's no way Gudj has come to sit on our bench. I too really like the fuller/jones pairing, i think it would be perfect, but if Gudjohnson is fit he plays.
