Based on ITKs received & signings we have made , how about this XI ?
Lloris
Walker, Musacchio, Vertonghen, Davies
Schneiderlin, Capoue
Eriksen, Lamela, Konoplyanka
Adebayor
Capoue's position is probably debatable; Atleast going by preseason he deserves teh spot. I would really like Paulinho to step up & show his form of Corinthians or Confeds. We have good options for that position in Holtby, Dembele, Bentaleb , Mason, etc...
I have picked Ade in favour of Soldado simply because of last season form and also I believe Ade is better suited for high press game than Soldado; But both of them would be perfect for this line up IMO
With Schneiderlin in, sadly Sandro goes, going by ITK;
I seriously believe such a XI could really put us on the map for a top4 or even top3 finish. Optimistic may be considering how others have improved around us.
But the fact is - we would have improved our XI from last season. With no Suarez, I would even put this XI on paper ahead of Pool squad;
Yeah, Rodriguez in January for the left sided spot instead of Kono. Bar that I think Poch's blueprint could look very similar.
